Pillow Finishing Tutorial

Thanks to the Needlepoint for Fun crew, I have a link to a nice needlepoint pillow tutorial. Whether you want to try finishing your own pillow or not, it's very interesting to see how the pros do it.

Ultrasuede

Orna Willis is now selling larger Ultrasuede fabric sets.

You can get one from her Etsy shop, where she sells smaller pieces in collections as well.  If you do your own finishing, this is a very valuable resource.  Do make note that Orna's Ultrasuede comes to both the lightweight and upholstery weight types.  The lightweight is very easy to sew in hand but I find the upholstery weight much tougher, even for my old Singer sewing machine.  But with that caveat, if you want to pick up colorful bits of Ultrasuede for your finishing, this is a great resource.
