so haven't had time to blog. However I have got a good job, jobbed as we say!!
The weather has been all over the place, freezing cold one day and up in the high 20's the next. I hunted out the chairs and cushions for the front porch and decided the cushions needed freshened up.
Here is the before, I redid them in this fabric back in April of 2019, you can read about it here.
I picked up 2 metres of the poppy fabric for $18 per metre, and I took what was left of the grey/black fabric which was around 1 1/2 metres at $7 per metre. Now I use a contrast fabric for the sides as I am too lazy to try and match the pattern on the fabric for the sides!! Hubby wants me to make cushions for the back of the chairs (full length). I don't have any foam, so will have to purchase some. I do have more than enough fabric though to make them though.
I chose this fabric as my favourite colour is red and my favourite flower is a poppy.
I messed up when cutting out the sides, so sewed together the extra pieces to make the backs of the smaller cushions.
Now I am a Guttermnn girl when it comes to thread for my sewing machine, BUT I was cursing this spindle up and down. It kept knotting up and breaking. I need to give my machine a good clean I think. I changed the needle on the weekend, as a neighbour asked me to sew a couple of things for her; it was a quick simple project.
This is the first lot of sewing I have done in a while. I really had to think what I was doing!!
Another good job done. All we need now is the good weather to come back! We had snow on Tuesday here; thankfully it was warm enough it melted as soon as it touched the ground.
