We do not have many fabric shops locally and I do wonder what they think I am up to as I pop in so often, so I do now purchase alot of my fabrics online as there are some fantastic stores out there on the internet and have had my fabrics delivered from all round the world and I am always on the lookout for designs
If you have read any of my previous blog entries you will know I have been on a printed textile course this year and loved it so much and would have happily continued for another year, therefore lots of my current projects have been based on my printed designs.
I have loved turning all my printed fabric into cushions galore some have even managed to make it to my living room rather than the shop!!!.

I have decided to use the envelope style for these cushions this is proving to be the easiest type for the printed fabric as it means I can make small and large cushions and add bulky or fragile trimmings wherever necessary and it allows the cushions to have smooth edges rather than the bulk of a zip.
It was like a production line at one point in the kitchen only to be halted for a cupcake and coffee which is what a girl needs while sewing. Though I did have a disaster with a coffee and walnut cake last weekend which was a bit like an exploding volcano, but that story is for another day and I have been sticking to my local cupcake bakery which is keeping me well stocked
Look at the range of cushions ended up with !!!!

The final cushions of the afternoon was a piece of embroidery which was edged with some vintage and floral fabrics. It is a great way of using up the scraps of fabric
Look out for the another selection of cushions on the next blog
