No. 2 - Making cushions

Apologies for the bad image quality - it's the camera on my phone :(

In case you missed the post on my main blog in which I tell you just how spoilt I was for my birthday - I got a bright pink sewing machine from the girls. I love it. 
The bright pink sewing machine was threaded up on monday night, and last night {after a trip to Ikea to get parts of a friends birthday gift, where I also picked up cushion inners} I finally put it to work to make the cushions we have been wanting for our front room. I'd seen and consequentially bought the most amazing fabric in Ish on Sharrowvale Rd in Sheffield, after we'd decided that the room needed some colour {it has been a mix of beige and brown for a long time now} and I think, now they are done they're just what we needed. That beige sofa and beige throw are pretty plain. 


I haven't quite ventured into putting zips on the cushions, as I have heard from a very adept sewing friend, that they're quite hard to do, but I am pretty happy with how they have turned out. I mean, how wrong could I go sewing squares. 


Lets see how I get on when I am trying to make something a little more adventurous.......
