hi!
after a few months of thinking
that if i never sewed again it would be too soon...
{i know that is unimaginable for some of you..hehe!}
i finally cleaned up and reorganised my sewing corner
&
after gazing at my cupboarded stash of fabrics
i started to dream of making jazzy pillowcases
&
made several for myself and family and friends....just 'cos i could.
next week two of my friends are having birthdays.
&
all summer i have been giving various friends
my cushions...some left over from my madeit shop
and others i just had sitting aside.
i always pray about which ones to give to which person
&
am always delighted when they say that how did i know
that the one i picked out for them was perfect...
the Lord is my secret weapon..hehe!
this time i felt that none of my premade covers would be right
so making a union jack cushion cover came to mind.
i found a picture of one in a magazine
and then got to work.
i think i will include that little red, white and blue heart in the present too...
i made it a few months ago...before christmas last year...
&
i have another navy floral cover that i made to go with this one too...
it has white and green in its colouring as well...
i think they will suit her blue sofa well..at least i hope she thinks so!
well
cheers for now...
please forgive me if i haven't left a comment on your lovely blog this month
as a day and a half per month isn't half long enough to pop in
and say 'hello' to all of you gorgeous peeps!
