Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me, it is well appreciated. This is one of the best video I came across in learning how to do this project. It is well explained and I understand it very well. I will like to know what else can you use to put in the throw pillow if you cannot get the fiber. Also, I would like to see how you put on a zip on a dress or skirt. May God bless you in everything that you do.

Thank you so so much Theresa & amen to the prayer ❤️🙏🏾. I’m happy you find it useful. If you’re in Nigeria, some people use cut up foam pieces but I’m not a fan. I’ll advice you buy fibre or buy a ready made filling if you want. I have a video showing how to install zips in a skirt (you might have to skip to the end) kzread.info/dash/bejne/haOBz8ixhMfQf7w.html or this kzread.info/dash/bejne/eWugq9Jtdbm6m5M.html

Depends on the quality of fibre you get! Get good fibre and the shrinkage should be minimal 😁

Unfortunately I can’t specify the quantity but 1 kg should do 2-3 throw pillows depending on fluffiness. 1 yard can make 2 medium throw pillows. The sizes vary ❤️🙏🏾

@takarirosegamer2902 your response is coming off as rude however I’ll excuse it as unintentional. I haven’t answered any questions, so I don’t know what you mean by the answer isn’t clear. Seeing as it’s been done in your family, you’re better off asking one of the people who did it or witnessed the making process. As an alternative, you’re welcome to send a DM with a photo of what you want to provide more clarity. That’s what I previously said and I maintain that. Do have a good day

@SewUnique_ng
Жыл бұрын
Oh that’s a difficult one; I’ll say factor in the entire cost of production (including the sewing thread, Labour etc). Then also factor in your brand…. What do I mean? if your brand is positioned and perceived as a luxury brand, you can get away with charging for luxury. It’s all about getting your brand positioning right.
