Sewing a ladder stitch

I have been trying to get into sewing the past couple of years.  About a year and a half ago, I started a project to make two pillows. The last step was a "ladder stitch."  I thought it seemed difficult and was worried to mess up the pillows. I set them aside and was too nervous to bother with it for months.... and months..... and months hahaha.

Just goes to show sometimes we put off the silliest little things in life that we are more than capable of doing.

Thanks! It's always nice to do something more productive than stuff my face and listen to the same songs over and over (which is what I'm doing right now haha)
