Some Sunshine

A while ago when the weather was rainy and grey I bought some sunny yellow fabric from John Lewis to cheer myself up, not really sure what I planned to do with it but there you go..



Well then a couple of evenings ago I was trying to find something other than work to do so decided this was exactly the right time to do something with my little bit of sunshine. As I only had a 1x1m piece I had left myself few options other than a cushion cover. Luckily enough I have plenty of cushions looking for clothing.

So firstly I measured my cushion and then measured that out on the fabric leaving a good 1cm extra at each edge.

I then marked and pined the line I needed to sew allowing for a zip to be added at one end. After pinning I then simply sewed along my markings removing pins as I went (commonly stabbing myself in the process).



After sewing the edges and adding the zip, which was a bit of a bugger (I think I should have added it earlier but hey ho) I then stood back and admired my work...


Aren't I all domestic? Now what else can I do other than write that article due in a week...
