You can only get better and slicker at doing it - practice, practice (without fear). Good work!

Wow that is really cute. I have a 6 yo girl so I know the need for easy removal. Was it hard to do? I've only put one zipper in a purse I made like five years ago and it took many attempts before it turned out right. Haven't tried one since. LOL

Congrats on conquering your fear of zippers! The pillow is awesome. I haven't conquered that fear myself so I avoid anything with zippers, LOL.

Good job!! Sometimes the thought of doing something is really worse than the actual doing it. I've felt the same way at times.

I love the cushion it looks very beautiful and I'm with you I hate working with zippers too, I always go with sewn pockets vs putting a zippered one in.
