What do you do when you have a nice summer. Blouse that does not fit you anymore! Why you . repurpose it of course! I hadn`t worn this as it was tight on my arms. So i thought of a way to reuse it . And came up with this lined cushion cover! I cut the main body as it had ruching stitching. And the buttons on the front act as the closure. At the front - so not messing about with a zip! So easy to do! O) Just cut to size of the cushion pad you. Have then sew all 4 sides up . Pillow case i didn`t use ;o).

I hope everyone had a good easter break! And my international friends got to watch the Royal Wedding . I finally feel like getting back to "normal " after 2 long weekends. Of visiting friends , having great weather and 3 BBQ`s ;o). This is a vintage tablecloth i found . It had worn holes. In parts , otherwise i would have kept it whole . So i`ve been coming up with things to reuse it in . I cut out 2 circle pieces and made a quick. Pomander filled with lavender . Vintage seam binding hanger. May 05, 2011.

MAGPIE-PIXIE: Vintage Elephant Cushion
http://magpie-pixie.blogspot.com/2013/03/vintage-elephant-cushion.html
I made this cushion from a children`s vintage sewing book of the 1970`s. I purchased in a secondhand book store.Approx 12 " and 9" wide. Using some vintage sheet material i had. The face / trunk / ears / tusks / eyes are felt. Along with the two small feet. He`s stuffed and sewn together , i will just have to wash him as is ,. As it`s not a removeable cover . I hope you like it :). I`d like to wish you all. A Happy Easter holidays. Xoxo ps Hows Jared? April 30, 2013. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

So with flowers still on my mind. I finished this altered postcard . Gesso paint then stamped while still wet . Thanks for popping by ;o).

And you get a complete bunting of other participants work . Sent back to you . I created 3 of these , varying the flower colour / button. Carolyn, great job! Flowers ....

Wear then store your art . A new idea i had to store part of a piece of. Artwork , which i don`t think i`ve seen before . I could be wrong ;o). For the " house " part . I used a cardboard inner. Left over from parcel tape! I couldn`t throw it as it was. A thick piece of card and i thought it would. Come in handy . one day . I lined the inner with vintage wallpaper then cut a circle. Of card for the back and stuck vintage ledger paper on . The size is 3 " diameter and 2" deep . Stand size is 3 x 2.5 ".
