Has anyone put a zipper on a pillow?
#1
I am going to make a square pillow with a closing so the cover can be removed and washed. I plan on putting a zipper on it; would you think that is feasible or should I use velcro? Anyone done this?

Either way will work depending on the look that you want. You would insert the zipper or velcro on the back piece before you sew it to the front. If you are using a zipper just remember to have the zipper partially opened before sewing all around the pillow.

I've never done a zipper but i did do one with an opening in the back. Both sides came past the center so that they overlapped about 6 inches. It looks nice and snug and is easily removed. I can't think of the name for it now... maybe envelop or placket.
