The different processes of making a cushion

After deciding which fabrics I want to use, I start drawing, the different combinations
It’s easier to see it on paper, because once you cut the fabric, there’s no going back
So, I know it’s more time consuming, but it’s worth it, in the end



Once the pattern is chosen then I start the cutting



Et voilà …………….after a bit of sewing



A cushion is ready



And it now belongs to a Lovely Lady

Et voilá…….

One more cushion, and this time a Log Cabin Cushion.




I think I’ll blame Naná, for giving me the idea
This one reminds me of the dresses my Grandmother used to make me, there’s just one item missing for the collection to be complete, the lovely Broderie Anglaise…… there’s lots on that fabric box
Soon very soon, that will have to come out
Have a good Sunday and don’t forget….. to be Happy !!! x

Cushion finished

Well one more project finished
Very pleased with it

Top finished

And here she is, the top of my new cushion.
Haven’t decided how the rest is going to look, but at the moment the hardest bit is done
I’m sure it will look very nice in my sewing/spare/studio room
I am pleased with the way it turned out

And here she is........

E aqui está ela, nao nas melhores das luzes, mas nao deu para tirar as fotos mais cedo


And here she is, not the best of lights, but wasn't able to take the pictures earlier

Tomorrow is the day

Lembram-se deste e deste amanha é o primeiro dia do novo curso, e amanha vou fazer a almofada, e a escolhida foi a do meio

Perguntam voces se ja cortei tudo o que tinha a cortar, para amanha, só tive dois meses para me preparar? Claro que nao!! Nada como deixar tudo para a ultima noite ;-)

Estou tao ansiosa por amanha

Do you remember this and this tomorrow is the firstday of the new course, and tomorrow we'll be doing that cushion, and the chosen one was the middle one

You ask if I have allready cut all for tomorrow, I only had two months to get ready?

Of course not!! Nothing like leaving it all for the last minute ;-)

I'm so looking forward for tomorrow

Yet more decisions...

Na primeira aula de curso deste ano, vamos fazer uma almofada, 'log cabin' com dobras  mais uma técnica.

Mas entretanto foi-nos dado as instrucoes para cortar-mos os tecidos antes da aula, até aí tudo bem, o pior é mesmo escolher os tecidos, recomendaram-me para escolher 6.

Depois de muito ponderar, fiquei por estes.

Nao garanto serem os escolhidos, mas por hoje sao.

Decisoes..... decisoes.......

In our first lesson this year, we are going to do a Log Cabin Fold & Finish Cushion, one more technique.

We have our instructions to cut the material before we go, all fine up to that point, the worst is to choose the materials, was recommended to choose 6.

After a lot of thought, I chose these ones.

I won't guarantee they will be the ones, but for today they are.

Decisions..... decisions........
