Piping has a piece that's inserted in the seams and your cording seams to be missing that UNLESS you're making your own piping and using that as filling. If that's the case you're right, you have enough for quite a few dozen outfits! :)<br /><br />Love, love, love the digital diamond print - gawd is that gorgeous! The other prints are very pretty but if there was one I could snatch through my monitor that would be the one!!!Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-76990175835796895642014-05-18T11:19:08.941+08:002014-05-18T11:19:08.941+08:00What beautiful fabrics.
