Gullklok's cover is a durable, solid-colored pillowcase with a unique, soft texture.In most cases, such products are not decorated, so you have to think about how to sew the piping to the pillow yourself. The two most effective ways:

• First option. To work, you will need a sewing machine and braid that completely matches the color of the base material. It is sewn to the product using tight stitches. Then the edging is sewn on and the edges are carefully processed. At the final stage, a seam is made close to the decorative edging, which hides the braid. The technique is quite painstaking, but effective;
• Second way. A glue gun with silicone glue is used. It is heated to the desired level and applied in thin, even layers to the fabric.

Let's look at the process of sewing a product, how to choose the size of a decorative piping and how to sew a cord into a pillow:

1. We cut out the fabric. We make a square pattern taking into account allowances of two centimeters. For a pillow measuring 40x40, cut out a pillowcase 44x44 centimeters. This is the front part of the product. Slightly rounding the corners will help make it easier to work with edging.
2. The back side is cut out of two elements. They will be connected by a snake. On each side we make an allowance for the snake - one centimeter and three centimeters.You can initially take a larger size for the back pattern, and then remove the excess fabric.
3. After the snake is sewn in, the edges of the square should not be less than 44 centimeters.
4. Lay out the back fragment on a flat surface, cover it with the front part and adjust the dimensions after installing the snake.
5. We remove the back fragment. Flatten the front part of the pillowcase on the surface, placing it on the wrong side. Let's add a decorative cord. In this case, you should retreat at least five millimeters from the edges for subsequent overcasting of the seam. Sew the edging to the lace as close as possible using a single-sided foot on the machine.
6. Tape will help make the sewing process easier at the corners. We join the ends of the lace, and then sew the seams.
7. Now you can turn the pillowcase inside out. A small part of the braid is visible on the front side.
8. Before sewing the pillow, you need to completely hide the lace. To do this, we sew the back of the pillow, turning the allowances back. The material must be loosened so that it bends in close proximity to the lace. The line also goes end to end.
9. We proceed in the same way with the edges on the front fragment. Now I was able to completely sew up the braid. Sew a pillowcase. We insert the finished pillow or stuff the product with synthetic padding.
