Two sets of bedding (plus two extra pillowcases) for the price of one ........ I'm really very happy with that! There was plenty of fabric left for the two planned cushions though the bolster didn't happen. I don't do well with feather pillows (they make me wheezy) but I did buy a feather bolster pad a few years ago. Getting it out of the bag I brought it downstairs, placed it on the sofa and went to look on the laptop to see exactly how I'd done the last (foam) one. My eyes started watering so I rubbed them ........... they were instantly very gritty, puffy, swollen and even more watery and the whole of the whites were completely bright red. I hadn't done anything except touch that feather bolster so my husband threw it straight in the bin whilst I loaded the throws from the sofa into the washing machine. I know I'm allergic to dustmites ........ sneezing and a bit wheezy but this was another level! Fortunately I was fine after just a few hours.
The cushion that did get done ............
The kids don't really say much about my stitching exploits. The very occasional "What's that for?" or "I don't want you to make me anything for Chrismas (sigh)" so the very best bit for me was when my husband said they were arguing ............. 20 and 25 and they're arguing over whose cushion(s) are best! YES, thankyou!!!!!!!!!
With a hospital visit imminent I suddenly remembered yesterday that I hadn't made my husband the promised cover for his Kobo Touch. In a flash I thought it would be easier and quicker to find a tutorial on the net and amend the measurements to fit ............. wrong! Not reading it through before hand I found it rather long winded to follow, got to step no. 10 and the said points didn't match at all. Never mind, I worked it out and got there .........
I like the back pocket for the lead .........
I think that's enough with that fabric for now though more to catch up with soon ..........
