23 cushions

 

My latest cushion using my newest most favourite fabric line!!!!....2wenty Thr3e by Eric and Julie Comstock of Cosmo Cricket for Moda. I bought a jelly roll as meterage wasn't available yet and I couldn't wait! I got a little bit of the whole fabric line this way with so many to choose from. There are some very beautiful fabrics with collage numbers, retro tickets, cameras and patterns. This cushion has been quilted on the top . I also made another set using these fabrics but they are going to stay on my couch!! These ones are available in my made it shop

Shop Contemporary Handmade giveaway

It's been very busy lately with Easter and School holidays...making and creating slowed down a bit but the end of April and all of May are going to be very busy with a couple of showcases and competitions I'm involved with coming up. I need to make lots of new items for these but gets me being creative again!
 You can win this Blue Chevron Sleepy bird along with a whole lot of other prizes worth over $600 in a competition/giveaway I'm involved in at Shop Contemporary Handmade.

It's the SCH 2nd Birthday Mega Handmade Giveaway. Over 2 weeks they will be giving away over $1300 worth of prizes. To enter go to the website here. (It is a facebook competition) . I'm also taking part in their Make it Work Challenge where the public can vote on Australian designer's work.

Bunnies for the boys

Amongst all the other bunnies I made , I also made these for my boys for Easter. I was going to give them some of my other ones but they were all gone! These ones are a bit more boyish! The orange one was made with a free down load pattern by Sleepy King who makes very cute softies. I previously made a green version and then made a bigger one to match!
 Have a lovely Easter.

Umbrella girl cushion

 Continuing with my rainy umbrella theme here is my latest cushion featuring a little girl with an umbrella! Created with free machine embroidery.

Boy Sleepy bird and chocolate bribery

 My latest boy Sleepy bird using the rather boy oriented fabric I recently purchased! My model was rewarded/bribed by a piece of chocolate! I had made another attempt to get some model poses from my 4 year old with no reward involved which resulted in not one photo! As soon as chocolate was mentioned this time he was great for all of the photos!

Not the usual fabric

Just when I thought I'd gone all pink and girly again I got this fabric! I always love herringbone fabric and the blue stuff here looks a bit like that. Now what to make.....

 

 

Raindrops

 My new little zip purses. Perfect for all those little things that go in your bag... phone, makeup, kids pencils and paper. This raindrop fabric is my newest favourite fabric!  It's from Anthology fabric and the line is called Raining Rainbows. These purses were made for a showcase I'm in in March with the title/theme of Autumn Leaves. So being from Melbourne I have gone with a rainy raindrops Autumn theme  for my pieces! My other pieces, a cushion and a bird soft toy, use different raindrops fabric.... I'm very into raindrops at the moment!
 I've got lots of ideas on different fabric combinations for these purses so there will be more! They are available in my Etsy shop and Made it shop.
