This video tutorial demonstrates how to construct a throw pillow with piping made from the same fabric sewn along the edges and a zipper in the back. This video features Outdura Upholstery Fabric and a cording/piping made from that same outdura fabric. Outdura® upholstery fabrics are solution-dyed acrylic, indoor/outdoor performance fabrics, making them just as suitable for your patio as they are in your living room. We also use indoor/outdoor pillows that are water-resistant, giving them increased longevity. They're made with a garnetted fiber, which is a material stuffed into the pillow and processed in a way that ensures these pillows have more body, less compression over time and higher overall quality.
