I’d been meaning to make some nine-patch cushions for a while.
I got a bit “cushioned out” a while ago and couldn’t quite bring myself to make any cushions of any sort. I thought a bit of inspiration was called for. Which was where Pomme de Jour’s lovely charm squares came in handy.
They certainly did the trick – I had been itchin’ to stitch’em ever since I first set eyes on their myriad floral loveliness. And didn’t I have a lovely time trying out lots of nine-patch combinations!
However, as my stall at the April Fête was at a very family-orientated event and I’d sold out of tweeties, I thought I’d better get a few of those finished first.
But now my patchwork pretties are done.
Just got to get round to updating my shop now.
These two pretties will be making an appearance very soon… possibly even today, if I can get the washing done first 😉
✿ Update:
Well, I’ve got the washing done (it helps that both lad and his dad are away for a couple of days, so no new socks to add to the pile) and these two patchwork pretties are now on sale in my shop!
Gorgeous! I’m planning to cut some charm packs soon, I’ll let you know when I’m selling them! x
You temptress, you! x
Soooooo cheerful!!
They’re fabulous! i think I’m going to have a go – I’ve been amassing vintage fabrics for a while now. I haven’t got a clue what I’m doing sewing-wise, but you’ve got to start somewhere – right?!
Absolutely! Cut yourself some squares (adding a quarter inch all round your finished patch size for a seam allowance), play around with the arrangement of colours (the best bit!) and off you go!
