Another happy customer!

Happy customer!

I’m all for recycling, so when a close friend asked me to make some bunting from an old, tired cushion to brighten up her daughter’s bedroom, I was more than happy to. The cushion had originally been made from a lovely pink, spotty fabric left over from the curtains in the room. It was just a bit unloved and she wanted to add a touch of colour to the white walls.

The small, soft cushion and colourful bunting I made have really brightened up the room, pulled the scheme together and put a smile on a beautiful little girl’s face. It’s amazing what a bit of recycling can do!

Birds, owls, hearts and bunting…

Like I said yesterday, I’m nearly there now and even made some bunting today to go on my stall to make it look pretty. I used scraps from the other things I’ve made so it all ties in together and it was the easiest thing to do. Honest, if you like bunting (which I do) then there aren’t many easier things you can sew; all in less than an hour; so satisfying!

The birds, owls and hearts are all filled with lavender (took a while to do, thank you Caroline for donating the lavender!) Again, that was a bit of a family activity at the weekend as the boys enjoyed pulling the heads off the dried lavender plants in between painting their chalkboard signs and riding round the garden on their bikes!
