Sewing Project #5, 6, 7

January 2, 2009

Using the fabric that I sewed the kitchen blinds with, I made a few other little things for the kitchen.

Wall Art - I bought frames from IKEA and painted them white. Using contrasting patterns from the set, I sewed a little bird and leaves onto the background.





Chair Cushion - For my little high chair, I sewed a little cushion for the seat. I used a different pattern for each side of the cushion, so if I get bored with one side, I can flip it over. I sewed small ties to tie to the chair and I plan to add buttons to complete the look.





Pot Holders - I love this idea! It was the most time consuming, but I love the results. I sewed fabric on each side and stitched over the padding in a criss cross pattern. For the rounded one, I added a pocket where you can slide your hand into. I also sewed a little bird onto the pocket. Then I sewed binding around it which looks horrid, but it was the best I could do. So for the next one, I decided to sew a square one which was easier. The band across the middle allows you to slide your hand into.

Isn't it great to be able to create things for yourself rather than buy them? And they all look beautiful ... well done!
