The clothing of the cushions meant the sewing machine again... and once again it was trial, error and procrastination over the many winter months. Today I had an 'ah ha' moment. "The cushions are going to be used outside so they don't have to be perfect!"
Voila! 2 messy patchwork cushion covers were created!
And in crocheting crafts this week... behold the granny square made in to a tea pot cosy, the ultimate in kitsch :-)
