Sweet Seat

Finally, I finished my first seat cushion for my dining chairs. This one is the “proto-type, as I had to work out some of the design issues with my original design (kind of came together as I was playing with the fabric. I am in love with this fabric line.  I had a hard time deciding on which color-way to choose, as this design came in pink and a burgundy red.  I have of the red for some aprons and table linens…but the black goes with my dining area and would hide stains the best.

I have to confess, the polka dot bows are my favorite part!

Sewing Lesson!

Max wanted to make something and I really need new placemats for the table, so I thought that would be a good beginner project.  We had so much fun...now I need to make one for everyone else in the family!
He has been wanting to use the machine so he could "drive" the foot pedal!

Applique whale & shark for PJ flannel scraps!
