I've been away for the last two weekends so I wanted to relax a bit at home this weekend. I moved into a shared flat about 6 weeks ago, but a lot of my things are still at my parents house, which is only about a mile away. I need to buy a desk and some shelves for my room so I can bring my sewing machine, yarn and fabric stashes and sewing and knitting books here. Today I spent the day at my parents' house making cushions for my bed. I am so happy with how these turned out! Both fabrics are Amy Butler upholstery weight: the smaller cushions in front are made from a fabric in the 'August Fields' collection (purchased a few months ago at Liberty) and the larger cushions are made from a fabric in the 'Love' collection (purchased this afternoon in John Lewis, Kingston).
I am really delighted with these! (Although you might note that, rather than making Meg's birthday skirt, I diverted back to the 'straight line' sewing of which I have grown so fond. I have still got two weeks before her birthday to sew a present, but I think it might become an adaptation of the 'Lazy Days Skirt', also by Liesl of 'Oliver and S'. Watch this space...)

gosh, you've been so busy since I last checked here! Those cushions look brilliant and really compliment your bedroom colour scheme. Wish I could enjoy a love of sewing straight on a sewing machine! I am all about the wonky hand sewing at the moment as am hand-quilting a new patchwork blanket....
