I've used a recycled woollen grey blanket, which I originally brought to make a peasant dress up from the op shop. It is a little thin in places and the patched pillow has some particularly thin bits.
All the pillows are zippered with recycled zippers also from the op shop
The grey really complements the naturally berry dyed cotton, don't you think?
And the sheet of pomegranate stamped pink material finally got used to make a super large tote. I couldn't bring myself to chop the material to a smaller size. This is lined with orange pin stripped material, also a bargain find at the op shop.
(I must spend a lot of time wandering in and out of op shops, but usually its just a quick visit in passing)
After my little sewing stint I headed off to Southport for some super boogie board riding, the waves were fantastic. Lots of people obviously had the same idea we did but there was plenty of fun to be had by all.
My sister lost her board on one wave and ended up on the back of another board rider and caught a wave in with him. He was pretty good natured about it and his mates got a great giggle out of it!
The mushroom cushions look great.
ReplyDeleteUsing woollen blankets is a great idea. A wonderful contrast in textures.
