Homeschool room pillows

I am ok at sewing. I've made quilts, Halloween costumes, some clothes, baby things, etc. But, I had got away with never doing a zipper before. I knew the time had come to learn how to put in a zipper when I chose yellow, gray, and WHITE for our homeschool room. We have 3 boys! I wanted to be able to take the covers off and throw them in the washing machine. I found a tutorial to learn from here  www.makeit-loveit.com/2011/10/sewing-tips-installing-a-basic-zipper.html and I did it. I didn't even make a mistake. So not like me :)  I made three adorable pillow for our 3 adorable boys and I had to make an owl pillow because we are going to learn to be wise in this room. I used this tutorial
