Pimping My Boudoir 2: Throw Pillow

It's true, throw pillows are probably the cheapest and most effective way of giving your decor a facelift!  My sister-in-law is obsessed with them and has passed that obsession on to me.  I don't have a zipper foot for my sewing machine yet so decided to do a sleeve instead.  It worked well enough, but in the future I would make the overlap larger as the pillow is a little visible at the back.  Anyway, this is all good practice for making items to sell.

I have recently been working on some new fabric designs. Here's a razor blade pattern that have produced using the wonderful Spoonflower.

Cushion Cover

New cover, the rosettes are paper pieced and hand appliqued, the top will be machine sewn as soon as the voltage converter comes for my UK machine!

Everyday Design

First 2 pictures: The view from my living room window this morning when I woke up. Reminded me of the tide going out on a beach in the evening.

Last picture: New little addition to our home - a much needed magazine/newspaper box. I'm all about the leaves!
