"Piping" is the word for the thin tube of fabric that goes around the edge of the cushion cover. It has a thin cotton cord inside it, and you put it in between the two pieces when you're sewing the seam.

Anyway, question : these covers look very nice, but can you tell me what this "piping" is? Thanks! Hi Léan :-)

I hope you get a sewing machine soon. They are ace. I've never used a spinning wheel, but they seem pretty ace too. Also, looms. LOOOOOOOOMS. Mmmmmm, room-size craft equipment... Thank you!

No REALLY, I crave a sewing machine a bit like I crave a spinning wheel (both, alas, in the "when we have a large house" aka "when we're millionaires" pile o'dreams). Am so impressed you whipped this up in a few hours! They're brilliant. Oh wow, I wish I could a) sew and b) had a sewing machine.
