I've had lots of sewing to do lately...thought I would share a bit of it with you...
We had a custom order from a friend whose young daughter wanted their beautiful "cottage" to be...well...more cottagey!
She contacted me and asked me to create some cushions for her kitchen sofa that would add a bit of "vintage" style to the family area.
I set to work and created this set for her.
I was a bit nervous about the big "reveal" because it was mostly left to me to choose the styles/fabrics but I think she was genuinely happy with the end results and even gave me an excited hug.
Wonder if I have a new vintage convert there? Fingers crossed...
While in sewing mode I decided to complete several jobs that were on the waiting list...
these 2 lovely old wicker pet beds were in desperate need of cushions but I could not find cushion "inserts" to fit the shape of the beds so they were put on the back burner for some time.
In the "old days" I am sure that the woman of the house would have just cut the shape of the fabric and stuffed them herself so that is exactly what I did. I used a different fabric on each side so that you could change it when the need arose.
You can follow the links below the photos to view the "beds" (and make a purchase if you so desire) at Vintage Lifestyle.

Anyone else have any sewing projects on the go at the moment?
