So after a mid morning doze and a couple of headache pills, I was feeling somewhat better, so decided I'd make the cushions for the arts and crafts chair. I'd had to stop last weekend when I realised I did not have a cord foot for my sewing machine ! A scan of ebay found me two possible ones that would fit my machine , so I ordered them then had to wait! They arrived in the week, so now I could begin.
So a couple of hours later I was finished.
Although I have made my own cord to use on furnishing's I had never used this style of cording and I think I'll make my own if I need to use any again. It was a bit of a nightmare to try and turn a nice straight corner and of course not knowing this I'd cut the bottom cushion to go round the front posts to have a nice finish. So had a triple corner in a very small length of fabric, which was a nightmare to manage, but I did if not as smartly as it should have been.
Which you can see in this photo, although I forgot to put it back a little to sit nicely before taking photo !
Although the pattern is quite big I think i suits the chair well.
So since Clara is not here, the teddies decided to try it out for size. First up was Flying Captain Freddie , he found it quite comfortable. Freddie is new to me but a vintage bear of many years
Next was Pebs, which is short for Paul Edward Bear ,who I've owned since Paul gave him to me forty six years ago, he is wearing a rugby style shirt worn by all my girls, making that a good thirty seven years old!
Well the rain started while I was sewing and it's not stopped and won't until early tomorrow morning but I feel I have at least had a productive day .
