I've been following Bunny Mummy's tutorial for sewing a fleece cover as I am not confident at sewing at all and her tutorial has lots of pictures and makes it all look very simple.
I have already discovered that the process is so much easier if you have proper pins and sharp scissors. My next discovery was that I can still do blanket stitch the way I was taught it at school when I was about 8. My technique has about the same finesse as then too!
As long as no one looks too closely it should be fine lol. And it is for the back of the cushion anyway ;-) It's quite nice doing something other than knitting or crochet. Aside from when I accidentally stabbed myself with the needle :-S
Please visit Tami's Amis for other WIP Wednesday posts :-)
Looking nice :)
ReplyDeleteNice! Have a nice day. Regula
ReplyDeleteThat is a great cushion cover, nice and cheerful!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely and colourful! Well done.
ReplyDeleteCute cover!
ReplyDeleteLove the vibrant colors and thanks for the link to the tutorial.
ReplyDeletethank you :-) I love Bunny Mummy's blog, lots of inspiring patterns and colours
DeleteI, too, fear sewing things to my crocheted/knit projects, so I admire your bravery. Your stitching looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt can be daunting can't it :-S I've done the edging now but I'm putting off doing the next sewing bit :-S
DeleteLooks great! I have a bit of sewing phobia ... goes back to my school days, there was a "finger meet the sewing machine needle" incident that scared me for life, lol
ReplyDeleteOooo OUCH! That sounds like a very sensible reason for sewing phobia!
DeleteMy sewing skills are not super advanced, so I super admire you for trying this!!! It'll look awesome when finished!
ReplyDeleteMine aren't great either. Hopefully the worst of it will be hidden inside the cover or on the back of the cushion :-S
DeleteLovely cushion, I must make some too but the sewing bit puts me off - too lazy to get my machine out! Love your blanket stitch it will look great when finished I bet.
ReplyDeleteThank you :-) I got rid of the sewing machine I was given years ago as I didn't think I'd ever use it. Wishing I hadn't now lol
DeleteLovely- so bright and cheery! Blanket stitch is my favorite part of sewing- I find it tons of fun for reasons I cannot explain!

Thank you :) I like it too, I don't worry I'm doing it wrong all the time like I do with other stitches lo
DeleteIt's great how you're using a bold, contrast color to the fleece. I love fleece. You don't have to worry about fraying and it's so soft and warm. The ripples are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHehe that's why I'm using it, if I had to worry about edging a fabric I'd never get this cushion finished!
