More cushion covers

Ikea cushions covered in lime cotton canvas, recycled from an old Ikea sofa cover.

Cushion cover using Spoonflower print

Marion bought this fabric online from Spoonflower. The cover has a very neat invisible zip and Marion has the instructions for the method she used.

Group patchwork project

At the last sewing session we talked more about some  workshops over the summer, in felting and lino printing (more on this later) and also started a group patchwork project.

Patchwork project
Any group member, current or past, who wants to join in can make one or more squares which we can sew together when there is a critical mass. Let’s aim at February deadline.
There are some rules so that the squares have an element of consistency.
Use shirt-weight fabrics.
Use 30 by 30 cm base such as calico.
Cut scraps and applique them onto base, overlapping them, with raw edges.
Use machine or handsewing stitching.
Use a few of my scraps, mixed with your own, so there is a consistency between squares.
NB I  can supply base cloth, fabric scraps and hand embroidery threads at the sewing session or can mail to anyone who wants to join in but who cannot come to sessions.
I have done a sample, still in progress, to give you an idea. Let me know you want to do a square or if you need supplies. Barb
