Remember the bark cloth curtains I picked up from a charity shop? Well here they are again just to remind you of their gorgeousness:
They have been transformed by little old moi into............two cushion covers.
 |
| One on its lonesome |
 |
| Snuggling with the other cushions on the sofa (most of which are made by my good self) |
Now, I know that I made cushion covers for my February and January makes. But before you say to yourselves, "Can't that woman make anything other than cushion covers?" The answer is, dear readers, YES I CAN! Get a load of my barkcloth scarf.
I've backed it with a black woollen scarf that I've never worn and which still had its tags on.
Here's one of me modelling it:
Somebody, somewhere in Blogland had such a scarf (sorry, dunno who; if it was you, do let me know) and when I saw it I knew I had to shamelessly copy.
Just imagine, I can now sit on the sofa, luxuriating with my barkcloth cushions and wearing a matching barkcloth scarf. How fabulous is that!
What a shame*/luckily* (*delete as appropriate) no-one is around to take a photo of me luxuriating. Instead, I'll leave you with a pic of my scarf draped seductively on the sofa. Enjoy!!!!!
Hey Loo
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those cushions! And I think they would go very nicely with the orange/yellow/brown crocheted cushion in your bedroom x
Wow!! those cushions are fab. The scarfe is just pure genius! xxxx
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the barkcloth! I shall be cutting up more of mine this weekend. It's a crime to leave it festering in the fabric pile, it needs to be stroked and admired. xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat makes :) x
ReplyDelete;-))) Bless you, you can never have enough cushions ;-)) Great scarf to i love the fabric, enjoy them dee x
ReplyDeleteLovely cushions ~ can't believe you have completed your March Makes already. Well done x
ReplyDeleteOoh I love the last photo! And I'm well impressed with cushion covers - it's more than I've ever attempted!
ReplyDeleteNot to be all doomladen or anything but making clothes from patterns terrifies me :( I don't have the sort of brain that understands how these things work and I just get so frustrated and give up. Hope you have better luck than I do!
great cushions

Yep, you definately can't ever have too many cushions, especially glorious ones like these - that barkcloth fabric looks great against your red sofa too.
ReplyDeleteWell done on finishing your March make, very nice Linda x
ReplyDeleteFantastic! you can't beat barkcloth, it's such a great design.

Cushions look great, but truly love that red sofa, it's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOoh look at all your cushions! I could just dive on that sofa! xx
ReplyDeleteWell done those cushions are terrific. The colours go perfectly with your sofa. x
ReplyDeleteYour couch looks like mine, more cushions than seating area! It's fab though and I love that you made them. You are the only woman I know with a matching scarf/cushion combo, I bet you won't see that in a giftset this Christmas! Love it!

When I saw your scarf I originally thought it was one of those camera strap covers that some bloggers have made. A scarf if more useable I would think. Great pillows too. I love barkcloth!
ReplyDeleteHi lovely Loo,
ReplyDeleteThere's not much in the world that's nicer than a sofa filled with lovely cushions. Perfect to sink down into after a hard day's work with a magazine and a hot chocolate. Aaaaaaahh.
All the better if your scarf matches your cushions!!

I have several curtains that have damage to them-- I should cut them up and make cushions too! OR a scarf, I love the idea of matching a scarf to your cushions, amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou could have started something scarves to luxuriate in.
ReplyDeleteMust get to grips and make some cushions I just seem to hoard fabric :)

You got a blog award from me - check my blog :o) Scarlett x
ReplyDeleteYou're so clever! Damn, I'd forgotten about the monthly make malarky. Having time traumas...how does everyone do everything?!
ReplyDeleteThe scarf and cushions look fantastic! What a great use of an old pair of curtains! :) x
ReplyDeleteFabulous - and I see you're a cushion fiend, just like me! My husband's always like 'Where are we going to sit?!' But I adore cushions and pillows - these ones you've made are just gorgeous, and the scarf too!
