Polka Dotty Cushion Covers ... more sewing

Afternoon Everyone,

The sewing practice continues.

Two very basic envelope cushion covers that took just a couple of hours to make. I used the easy to follow instructions from Debbie Shore's Making Cushion Covers book (available from Amazon).

The polka dot fabric was purchased from Dunelm Mill - a metre was enough for two 20" square cushion covers.

Another tick on the list of practice projects :)

Remember the crazy quilt patch that featured in Wednesday's WOYWW post, here is it again but now it has a border of contrasting fabric added.

The colours look a bit washed out - that's due to the bright sunshine coming through the windows ... they really are much richer in real life. The next thing I have to do is purchase some plain fabric for the backing and a zip too. Yes, without the aid of a parachute folks, I'm going in and will attempt to put a zip in this one!

Just in case you wondered, I was out all day yesterday visiting friends, strolling round their beautiful garden - taking photos of the flowers - and picnicking in the sun. We didn't get home until very late much to Bonnie's disgust ... we got quite a scolding from her too.

So today, it's catch up time - I have some emails to respond to, blogs to visit and crafting projects to get on with. I could be here for some time :)

Hope you are all having a simply splendid day.

Take care and happy crafting,
