More cushions, lovely fabric and first hat

New fabrics, ordered yesterday, came today.  +Terrys Fabrics are very fast.  I become so excited when I get new fabrics - it is quite sad.  I am trying to be sensible and order samples first.  I have only been disappointed once though. These are all pure cottons.

I made two more cushions with the Beach Huts fabric.  The back is the stripey fabric.


And here is my first bucket hat.  It is cotton, reversible and lined in green shirting weight fabric.  I love it!

More rain, more sewing

Two nautical cushions - the slightly yellow look is the electric lighting.  Two slightly wonky garlands of birds and hearts stuffed with lavender.  They have character!

New year resolutions

Everyone needs a memo/ display board!  Organise all those business cards and important notes, display postcards or create a mood board for the decorating plan.  A great house warming present too.  Every one unique and handmade.

Sort out the wardrobe and drawers! Lavender bags to hang among your clothes or toss into drawers.  Cotton fabric with ribbon loops and stuffed with Yorkshire lavender.  Or hang a bird and heart lavender garland in the wardrobe.  Put a slim sachet of lavender under your pillow to help you sleep.
