Sweet Owl Cushions

After Claire posted a picture on Facebook about a "Pirate" cushion she had made, we had orders from our customers so out came the sewing machine and this is the result.  I made 5 but 2 sold straight away before I could take a picture.  I am really pleased with these and had so much fun choosing the fabrics.  Lots more will be made but are available from our shop inside Leicester Indoor Market.

Fabric Hearts - more sewing treats made this week

Really busy day today with orders to get out, a trip to the gym and a determination to get my sewing machine out again.  Just loving these easy to make heart bookmarks at the minute and have made over 8 now in all different colours and patterns - will load some pics shortly.

What has made these so much easier is my new Sizzix Heart Nesties - lots of different size hearts which when used on the Bigshot also cuts fabric :-) - so much easier and not reliant upon by drawing skills - just perfect.

Better get cracking, my son has asked for an Alien Cushion so need to cut out the pieces and finish the last few hearts before school finishes.

Inspired Owl Pillow - Sewing Fun!!!

Sorry for not posting for a while - it has been really busy at Inspire Creationz recently - lots of new stock, craft classes and getting our new Market Stall at Leicester's Indoor Market (C12) up and running.  But I finally found an hour or two and really wanted to get my sewing machine out that I bought in July but was gathering dust on the floor.

I had seen lots of owl cushions for sale at craft fairs locally and really wanted one for my daughter so I thought I would have a go.  All I can say is daughter is over the moon and has not let go yet!  Once I got going, I got to grips with the sewing machine without too much hassle and I am now coveting fabric like I do with papers.  Cardmaking will always be my first love but sewing is fast becoming a new hobby of mine.  My son is now after an Alien Cushion so will keep you posted on how I get on

Thanks for popping by xxxxx
