An old friend

I've had this lovely Klippan fabric that we bought in Sweden tucked over a cushion, masquerading as a cover, ever since we moved in (November last year).

Finally I dusted off the old Janome and, using a very basic pattern saved from an Ink & Spindle kit, I whipped up a little cover. Even found some sweet spotty fabric for the underside. Think I've got my sewing mojo back.

Ordered some of this beautiful fabric which arrived in the mail last week...Another cushion and perhaps something sweet for a friend's little girl, due end of August? Will suit a Spring baby, no?

    Love it (and the chair and bag, too)! And that Japanese fabric would be beautiful for a spring arrival :) x

    Look at you Mrs crafty Mama to be- love the fabric and the polka dot combo. Thanks for your email re Calm Birth. I am so happy you enjoyed it and it boosted your confidence. That is exactly what it did for us. To be able to take that attitude into the birthing room is such a plus. I didn't necessarily 'do' everything but took bits that felt right to me and ran with them! i.e. a music playlist was a real saviour. xxx
