New couch!... almost

    I made a cover for my couch and it feels like new!

This is my IKEA sofa bed for the guest room.

Before, in it's original cover.

We got it in white, because it came much more expensive in the colourful covers.

When I saw the price I thought, hey I can make it for less!

It took me a while, but here it is!

And matching cushions.

The square pillow is reversible!

My original intention was not making a cover with different fabrics,

but since I was given these scraps, 

which turned out to be huge, I couldn't resist the challenge.

It only took some brainstorming!

I made pipping my self too.

See you around

New big pillow cover

No more alterations for me! 

I've had enough with them!

Thankfully it is still pretty warm and summery here,

so I can still wear all the summer clothes I altered.

To be totally honest with you ...

I left one dress unaltered!

Next year...

Here is my new creation.

This huge pillow needed a new cover.

I found this cute upholstery fabric in my stash.

I used both sides of it.

I also added a zip and pipping.

I have to admit that working with so many heavy layers and the pipping 

was not easy.

I've added pipping to projects a dozen times before,

but this time it took a lot out of me.

I guess I was having a bad day...

considering that I forgot I had no more thread in my bobbin 

and I kept sewing... with no thread! Ha ha silly me!

See you around
