together and put the new welting between them. \u00a0Sewing slowly let me make sure that everything stayed lined up. \u00a0Afterwards, I inserted the 18 inch down pillow that I purchased at a fabric shop and closed the bottom by sewing it with a needle and thread. \u00a0Voila! \u00a0It turned out great.<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-1724\"
