Cushions complete....

I've had these large cushion inserts  (70cm x 70cm) for a while. When I purchased this sofa I got a couple of extra metres of fabric so I could whip up some cushions and have never got around to doing it, until now. Being a cushion fiend I quickly tire of the ones I have already, fortunately it is quick and easy to make replacements. I now just need something colourful and contemporary to team with them.

Spot of sewing.

Such a cold weekend, thought I would pull the old sewing machine out and blow off the cobwebs. After a few hours of mending clothes and patching up ripped knees I thought I would make Mack some warm flannelette duvet sets. A fun little project to test my very rusty sewing skills on.

Don't think I saved money making them (probably cheaper to buy). But it was quite satisfying to follow  through on a project and say "I did that. " 

Anyway, I've been rather absent on this blog recently. Not a whole lot to report on. The boys are keeping me busy and off the computer mostly. Hopefully I will have more to blog about soon. Possibly cushions (next sewing project).
