Theory Collection

Well as promised here is some pictures of the cushions I have made out of the fabrics I posted earlier.

 

I have to say I do love the colours especially the blue/green and lime, has a real fresh look to it....Spring/Summer. They are available for sale on my Facebook page and more than one.

I Finished the other cushion

I finally finished the other cushion to go with the first one.  I am so happy with the end result especially with it being my first attempt. Making sure each line and row matched up wasn't the easiest and when I sewed it together, I had to hope that the fabric hadn't moved and thrown it out of alignment. 
It's been posted off to it's new how...twin little girls and I hope they like them as much as I did making them.

My First Panel Cushion

I have to admit because I am only still learning different ways to sew cushions, when a friend asked me to make her 2 cushions with 4 panels on each side out of the Darla Range of fabrics I really thought it was going to be a shamozal.
It took me nearly a week to plan each panel out on paper then when I thought it was ok, I wondered if it looked right because the fabric was so not my taste, I always saw it as very old fashioned. After passing a few designs past a couple of my friends in The Sewing Sisterhood I found out that alot of the fabric is discontinued. So it took me half a week to try and hunt down the fabric.

Well here is one of the cushions I completed today and there is another one on the way!

I have to say I am so happy with it and it looks brilliant! The colours really compliment each other and now I have to urge to do more, So now I just need people to order them lol.

I actually have some plans this week for some cushions that have 3 straight panels in it. This is one of the combinations:

And this is the other:

So stay tuned for the end results!

I got a New Book

I just bought this book and I love it. It's not really for the experienced sewer as they would probably find it as a "I know all that" book.

There some future projects I can see happening with this book and I can't wait to give them ago.
