Picnic Carry Cushions!

Someone told me it was summer!  Though you might not always think it around here!

But if you are lucky enough to be getting some warm sunshine, how about making a handy Picnic Carry cushion!

In the July issue of Sewing World you will find my pattern for making piped and non-piped cushions.

These are great for taking to picnics, camping, outdoor festivals or right at home in your garden. 

You can make them using quilting cotton, deco weight or even recycled denim!

If you've never tried piping before, give it a go! You will find it easier than you think!

Get out there and enjoy your summer!

Fabric Buckets!

In August I will be showing people how to make fabric buckets.

You know how much I love to recycle fabrics, so I chopped up some denim to make these 'child friendly' stacking buckets.

Children who know how to use a sewing machine are welcome to the workshop!

And for the adults, something a little more detailed.

These are piped, rounded buckets, with some pretty applique on the fronts.  A little bit of fun for all your stuff and nonsense!!

These are great for bathrooms, bedrooms and even keeping sewing spaces organised!

There are still spaces available, so if you fancy having a go at some piping and applique, get in touch!

Fabric Buckets Workshop - Saturday 16th August, 10am - 4pm

And yesterday was my Picnic Carry Cushions workshop!  No pics sorry!  But everyone seemed to enjoy making their own bias binding and cushion covers. 

If you want to have a go at making your own patio/picnic cushions, you can find the pattern here in my Etsy shop!
