I was mad keen sewing all weekend. Look at all the pillow covers I made. All done quickly, seams not entirely straight, no zippers just ribbon ties and lots of little mistakes all round. I used bits and pieces, scraps of fabric, vintage tablecloths...whatever! All makes for perfect sewing [my style]. Hope you all had a great weekend. Will show you a picture of my car Wednesday.
love the fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous Simone, the fabrics are stunning. Looking pretty perfect to me!! Can't wait to see a pic of your car:) Have a wonderful week, lovely ~ Tina xx
ReplyDeleteOh my, you got your car! Love the pillow cases. I tried to sew a table runner the other day and made so many mistakes I was kind of sick of the whole affair.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
I'm liking your style! Just the way we do things in our house! xx
ReplyDeleteSince I started last week with my third try (in a sewing class) to tackle a sewing machine, I have to say I admire people who do this for fun... Hopefully I will be like you in a couple of weeks, happy and proud!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea of bits of leftover fabrics and tablecloths, thanks for the idea!

You are just way too clever with that sewing machine Simone! :) x
ReplyDeleteVery cool collection of cushions!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your new ride :)
ReplyDeleteOh my your car & your cushions are wonderful! I love the colour of the station wagon and can just see a few vintage cushions in there!
ReplyDeleteYour cross stitch cushion on the top reminds me of those vanity table runners!
You've been sewing up a storm! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
some fabulous fabrics, great colours
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw this blog title I thought...Busy weekend, this is Simone it should read Busy Life ha. You never stop. But I think that is the best way to be. The cushions look fab, xx Katherine
ReplyDeleteHi Simone, stunning pillows, they look gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWell that looks like one big stack of FUN!
ReplyDeletem ^..^
Love that white cushion with embrodiery. Just beautiful. I haven't attempted to learn how to sew yet so the ribbon ties are right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteLove them all! And yes by that stack you were one busy lady!
ReplyDeleteSuch a busy beaver... they look great, can't wait to see the car. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat pillows!!!
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely.
Melinda

ReplyDeleteHi Simone...You have been ONE VERY busy crafting lady this past weekend!!
ReplyDeletethey look terrific...
I saw somewhere in a mag the other week where someone was making aprons?? out of vintage pillows??

WHATEVER!!~~

(my hubby has a 1954? holden station wagon...being done up over time at the minute)..

Those two on top would look amazing tossed onto the back seat of your pale blue car!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. I tell you, you are gently nudging me to use colour in ways I never knew! My lamps stop my heart every time I lay eyes on them. Did you get my reversal thingy? They gave up on me and totally suspended everything... as I am a money launderer you know... part of the Brisbane 'Underbelly" squad. A-M xx
ReplyDeleteWell just gorgeous Simone made with TLC so dosn't matter!!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward in seeing the car :)
ooooh, these are just adoreble! i simply love the first one and the last - toile de jouy like! you are such an artist!
ReplyDeletehave a sweet day,

Would you please do a how-to pillow post? Those cases are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLoving your pillows, they are so amazing!brought 18 vintage tablecloths last week, but may be a bit boring and use them for big celebrations instead of sewing.
ReplyDeletebecca
I had a day making cushions yesterday (I can do a basic straight line on the machine)they are for all of my vintage fairs in April. I love all of the more professionally finished ones that I see but perhaps a wonky seam here and there can be just as appealing to customers?! (I hope so). ;0)
ReplyDeleteT x
I really love your sewing style.... those pillows covers are just perfect! I adore the colours and the vintage fabrics! Have a wonderful week! X
ReplyDeleteLove the covers such wonderful colours! I had a sewing weekend too (well overdue!) which has wondered into Tuesday but I'm very proud to show off my Babushka Bean Bag! Now I need to pack up all the sewing gear. Love Vintage Fabrics and your wonderful blog!
ReplyDeleteThey look so pretty Simone. I need to get sewing too. I've been mad planting around here. We're having such perfect weather around here now.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
Blessings,
Marcia
absolutely gorgeous cushions - I'm in love with toile fabric, very hard to find though.
ReplyDeleteSusie
You have inspired me! I have cushion sewing planned all weekend!
