Curtain Remake

Syliva finished her first patchwork quilt and
can now announce she has a new Great Grand Daughter!
Lovely!
Syliva wanted to make cushions for her dinning room
chairs and wanted to use the extra curtains she had
and any fabric we had in the Gallery tub.
She made a paper pattern and the made patchwork.
Also adding some ties to keep the cushions on the
chairs. She has made four of them and they
brighten up the room and feel nice to sit on!
Tailor made!
Syliva this week made an Art tidy,
from some more of the curtaining and lining
fabric. A real make over!
and really useful.
I think we are all looking again at what we can create
out of what we have!
See lots of this on my website

1950's Remake

Pat was given a pair of appliqued and embroidered
1950's chair back covers and she decided
she would like to remake them into something so they
could be used and enjoyed.
So, Pat came up with the idea of cushions.
They were cut down to size and the linen used
to make the backs along with some pink
gingham trim for the cushion pad pocket.
Also piping added.
Here you can see one the right way round and
one inside out, ready to finish.
Well done Pat your
'Make Do and Mend",
turned out beautiful.
Cushions to be proud of.
