Tuesday sTitchWITs..and more UFOs finished..

Dawn and I were creative again today, it was make a cushion day. Dawn wanted to make a retro caravan cushion and here it is, I reckon that's a damned good effort even if she did spend half the day giggling at the wonky windows! I think it all adds to the homemade charm of it...

UFOs tackled today by me.......

This rooster cross stitch has been hanging around for far too long, I wasn't sure what to do with it. Then I saw an idea online where cross stitch hoops had been used as frames! So I thought now there's a great idea....and so I can now cross this off the list!

 This piece of fabric, I picked up at and Op Shop, became a throw, I love the colours. The trim was bought for another project but I had other plans for that, so it was used here instead...

 

This was tapestry style cushion cover, again found ages ago and I got the handles for next to nothing from an Op Shop. I knew that they would become a bag eventually and today it finally happened..

I kept it real simple, sewed across the corners to make a gusset....

....even lined it........

The handles had a bar that slipped through an added fold of fabric sewn in the seam between the front and lining....I'm rather pleased with this as it turned out exactly as I imagined it would...

I had to make a cushion too, I didn't want to miss out on all the fun, but I made this last night, I even put a zip in! Had to lie down after all that excitement I tell ya!

The trim I used above was originally meant for this lovely fabric, it was to be a throw. But I changed my mind and turned it into a curtain for the back door downstairs. It has a fleece lining on the back and I will need to recycle some curtain rufflette before I finish this properly!

So another productive day and I can see the bottom of my UFO box!!

ta ra for now chucks!
