Saturday 31 March 2012

 It's always a good Saturday when you can get a bit of sewing time in as well as hanging out with the family.


I'd had this cushion commission for a new baby that I was supposed to have had done all week but it didn't quite happen.
I bribed Ruby with choosing some of my fabric and having a play on my machine while I was working on it so I didn't feel quite as guilty working on the weekend.




I've done a fair few of these cushions but this one is a little different. 
It's made entirely from my own fabrics.
I feel I've come a long way in a relatively short time being able to use just my own designs in my work.


I'm going to have to rethink things a little for the boys' version however as looking at this made me realise that most of my designs are definitely geared towards being more suitable for girls.
The Kite Strings would work well, but a couple more neutral designs are needed I think. Perhaps miniaturising my Euro Wonders and using that would be good.


Another new little detail is putting my screen printed name as a label on the back. 
At the moment I have just printed these as a selvedge strip on my fabric pieces but I'm definitely going to print up a whole load of them.


So a fun Saturday was had by all...well by Ruby and me anyway ;-)

It looks lovely and I'm sure it must be very satisfying using all your own fabrics!

Lovely patterns, and good idea with sewing on the label. Boy/girl, it doesn't matter, they're pretty!
