I have been taking part in the Occupy Your Sewing Room hosted by Cat Patches
Here are the results of my occupation ;-)
Cushions for Sister-in-law
from this (covers from a lounge suite)
to this!
My very first french seam ;-)
Two down, hopefully I can get two more out of the off-cuts.
FNSI
Friday night was another FNSI and I was able to prepare for my December swap blocks which were finished today ;-)
First up was Colleen for Block Swap Adventure - here is a tease.
Ladies, your blocks will be in the mail on Monday.
PS - Lorraine is having a wonderful giveaway HERE
Thank you for visiting my blog today - I hope you have a good day.
Remember, any day doing something you love makes it a good day ;-)
Doing what you like is freedom. Liking what you do is happiness.
Nice cushions.
ReplyDeleteYou do realise you'll have to post photos of the 'teases' after they are received to put us out of our misery, lol?
Cheers,
Robyn
Love the fabric of the cushions!

LOL @joyandcomfort
ReplyDeleteI can't claim credit for the idea of showing the offcuts - I saw it somewhere else in blogland and thought it was a great idea ;-)
Hello Cathy,
ReplyDeleteGreat cushions. I remember learning French seams in school, I have done them every now and again.
Happy days.

Your pillows are beautiful. Most people have no idea what a french seam is. Good work.
