I haven’t had much time for sewing. The baby boy has learnt to crawl and pull himself up to standing. So as all of you with kiddies will know the only way to get anything done is when if they sleep.
So I decided I needed something quick and simple that I could do by hand.
Then I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhZnHhbcN-Q tutorial explaining how to make a cusion cover without a zip, just a simple envelope.
Even better I realised I had some very tatty old cusions stuffed behind the back of the sofa. They really were hideous. Hence being behind the sofa.
I used some of the lovely stars and stripes fabric.
I used a back stitch as I was sewing by hand rather then machine. Anyway this is how it turned out.
I even managed to get the seams to nearly line up.
This is a great project for beginners, and after the Cath Kidston bag I found it rather relaxing. Happy sewing all.
Well done with the hand sewing… and finding the time! Its so tricky snatching sewing time with little ones around. Great choice of fabric too 🙂
