Hello everybody. I hope you have all had a good week so far. I have been playing with my new toy - my new sewing machine - today, I am showing one of my first projects.
I used to sew in my early teens and young adulthood, but as clothes got cheaper and life got busier, I just stopped. So, as it has been so long, I wanted to start small, with something easy.
I wanted some new cushion covers, so I decided that would be a good place to start. They are nothing special, and they aren't complicated to make, but I had fun making them.
Here are a couple of pictures of them.
Thank you so much for your visit today and especially if you have left a comment. You are all appreciated more than you know!
If you have a question, please be sure I have a way to contact you so I can answer, as a lot of you are 'no-reply' bloggers, so I am unable to reply via e-mail.
those cushions are the cutest ever - love all those quotes - have fun with your new toy!!
ReplyDeleteYour pillow covers are so cute. Looks like you did a perfect job. Did you stitch them completely shut, use an overlapping closure in the back, or is there a zipper closure I just can't see?
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous Hazel, I love that fabric !

Great job Hazel!! Your cushions are awesome ... love the fun quotes. I am "sewing" challenged, so I always appreciate those that can sew. Have fun with your new sewing machine! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat fun Hazel, they look great and glad your new machine has re-enthused an old hobby. I'm sure this is the start of lots of lovely makes. x
ReplyDeleteSorry Cheryl, I should have said. I used a zip/zipper. Thank you. xx

ReplyDeleteThese are great! I love the fabric! I rarely sew since I am not great at it, but if I did, I would do small projects too!
ReplyDeleteRepurposing at its best, Hazel. X
ReplyDeleteWow, they look so amazing!! I've never mastered sewing, but I've always wanted too. My Mom can sew anything but that gene skipped me!! Love, love these, my friend!! Have a great weekend!! Big hugs :)
