I have been putting off sewing 6 cushion covers for our new couch for 5 weeks - and finally in the final week of school holidays it was time. There was to be NO more procrastination! I used fabrics from
IKEA (PS screen printed spots),
Umbrella Prints (sweet teal elephants), natural seeded cotton drill and ruby red linen ($2.00 a meter from Spotlight - woot!). I decided that those gorgeous white spots on the IKEA fabric would be too spread too far apart so I pinned two random pleats at intervals and sewed along
I watched
this (whilst being impressed by a male sewing) and read
this to learn the quickest and most practical way to sew in a zipper... and when I manage to buy the correct
invisible zippers next time I will be sure to read
this.
I am feeling pretty chuffed with myself, and The Boy even approves.. and LIKES!.. which doesn't happen often.
In a few days I will post some photos of
our lounge room re-decorate, with spiffy new cushions in tow. Do pop back to
Kristy's to see more making!
