hello old friend

In a desperate bid to distract myself I have sought great comfort in my old sewing machine. Having sat untouched in the studio since it moved in there oh so many months ago, yesterday I indulged in the wonderful world of AbakanFabrics.
Treating myself to lots of vintage florals, and lace trims, pastel buttons and gingham ribbons, I then spent a lovely evening re-acquainting myself with textile techniques and rattling off a couple of beautiful little cushion covers.

[these are terrible photographs but will suffice for now]

needless to say ive woken up buzzing with more ideas and now just need to search every possible hidey hole for more cushion fillings!!
