And what you can't see here are all the wonderfully inserted zips in the bases of the covers! Well done ladies!
My Friday class produced some gorgeous Beach Huts cushions, using a paper piecing technique, but I will be taking pics of those soon at our Exhibition.
Next week, starts a new project making Travel sewing pouches and journal covers. Here are some samples I've made for class, and some extra journal covers for June Birthday pressies.
The first journal cover shown here is for a young friend who really enjoys baking with her mum. Now she can keep all her favourite recipes in her own notebook. I made it from a pair of jeans, including a pocket on the back of the journal cover, and even the buttonholed closure tab was the bit that holds the trouser leg up when they are rolled up into three quarter lengths!
The linen/lace journal cover is a recycled cushion cover that my pet goat (cleverly disguised as a dog!) decided to chew the corner of. I particularly liked this cushion cover because of the vintage buttons on it, so I'm pleased to be able to put them to good use again!
Following my sports day antics yesterday, I now ache in muscles I didn't even know I had places! Even my armpits hurt (what's that all about!!).
My Friday night will now consist of sitting down, drinking port and having to endure the England footie match on TV (my husband's English - I've no choice!!).
Hope you have a lovely Friday evening!
Your class keeps excelling themselves. I think it must be their teacher being so good.
ReplyDeleteAvoid the football and take your port with you to a hot bath! My husbands english too but hates football - hurrah!
ReplyDeleteI'm about to have fish and chips!! Chilling on sofa and wrecked after a long week x
ReplyDeleteLovely samples - looking forward to trying these projects at class. Thanks for the wonky stars cushion class - lots of fun!
ReplyDeletewhat great makes! Hope your body starts feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope your armpits (and the rest of you!) recover soon - enjoy your port!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Your students are marvellous, I think Susan's right!
How on earth did you hurt your armpits running? Your arms must have been really working it! Love those sewing pouches and the star cushions are gorgeous. Notebook covers look fab too!
ReplyDeleteI've just noticed your new header! Love the Just Jude Lettering and that cushion...oh and I recognise that little handbag ;-)
ReplyDeletei LOVE your new header Judith! Sorry you're hurting so much (personally it hits me on day 2!) Hope you are feeling better in the morning, but I mite have to just join in a little tipple of port to make sure! Your student makes are brilliant as are the sewing pouches - pattern for sale?
ReplyDeleteI love your new header...very cute!
ReplyDeleteGoodstuff! Love the travel sewing pouches too :-)
ReplyDeleteEngland won - how can you not be happy, especially as you have been on the port!
ReplyDeleteLove your makes, and you super students did you proud again xxx
ROFL, how on earth do your armpits ache, were you flapping like a chicken as you ran?!
ReplyDeleteYour class makes are fab though :o)
Aaaaghh! Just spotted your new Just Jude lettering - totally gorgeously, amazingly you!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs Sarah says...those letters are so you! You have made a lot for your classes that I think you must be on rocket fuel. I too have endured the football but I did do a lot of cutting out whilst it was on! Di x
ReplyDeleteYour class and your samples are great! I hope you enjoyed the game!
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesdays are always a bit painful due to torn muscles from the day before riding! Great students = great teacher - or is that the other way round!?
ReplyDeleteHey Jude, loving those sample makes and the book cover. I recognise the fabric! Look at you with your funky new header, you go girl. Flower power gal! X
