...Become Lubly Squishy Cushions
Just a quick post from me today, as I have spent the last two hours making two slices of cucumber. (Alrighty then!) ...and much of last night was spent making a slice of ham from fabric. Did you know it is actually much easier to make fabric look like cheese than it is ham?! You learn something new every day!
...My daughters second Birthday is fast approaching and I am in present making mode! Hopefully I will have some nice pictures later in the week, where it will all become a little clearer.
For now, here are a few pictures of the giant doily cushions I've been working on:
For some reason this doily seemed to take twice as long to attach to the backing fabric. I wanted to take my time and do it by hand, to make sure it was on securely and in case I change my mind somewhere down the line and want to take it off again. I also find that running doilies through the sewing machine can kind of drag the doily and distort the overall shape and appearance. Not so important maybe with a small doily, if its a millimetre out here and there, but when you add all those millimetres up and scale up the doily, that is potential wonky doily disaster!
This is the back of the blue doily cushion (I forgot to take a picture of the back of the other one oops!) I've finished the backs with buttons, as I get fed up with basic envelope cushions opening every time someone leans on them.
So, this is how my sofa is looking now... just a couple more cushions to make for the left of the sofa. (Really hard to photograph a corner sofa well, without getting all other crap in the room in shot.)
If you're paying attention, you might notice in the photo above the tree fabric I got recently for my Birthday.
So really two cushions is three cushions...
The blue crochet flowers were some random ones I made when wanting to crochet a flower blanket. I quickly changed my mind though as I really struggled with the pattern and decided that there just weren't enough hours in the day to complete it (each flower took as long as eight squares to make.)
OK so my quick post today was not so quick hey?! Lolzer!!
