I’m kind of the same, except in my case it’s fill a yard pieces from spoonflower. But now that you’ve drawn my attention to it. I think I’ll cut them into individual sections and see if the lovely prints inspire me.
@calluna I love that book, the trim is awesome and the button fab! I needed to use the smaller of the two strips on my photo above, but the bigger is unused. It’s about 6"*23" I can mail it to you if you would like. Pm me your address if you want it.
I’m using the good stuff! Bought this fabric made using a scanned and digitally altered gelli print masterboard of mine. It’s printed on a cotton canvas.
Chair cushion covers I wanted to make four but only bought enough fabric for three… oh well! It will be enough for the dining table chairs at least Here’s the first one
I used some clearance fabric for part of the undersides
This one is tough. I love this brocade, even if I don’t love sewing with it. But I’m making a velvet throw for a friend and it’s the best fabric I have for the reverse… And it’s stunning. And I’m about to use it all.
Well stilton makes the fabric, the thread, sewing machine and other inanimate objects carry on conversations with me lol so the sewing would go well until I sobered up! Its beautiful though I hope they really enjoy it!
It was so easy to make, a vintage velvet curtain and that delicious brocade, with a long fringe (from AliExpress) I don’t know if I’ve any more brocade, but I want one for me now. It’s so gorgeous to touch.
It looks amazing! I can see why you’ll be sad to part with it, the brocade is beautiful. But you are right that they go wonderfully together and it will be a wonderful gift!
