New Cushion Covers

I love all things roses and couldn't resist this gorgeous Paris fabric in Spotlight last week I thought it would be nice to replace the dark cushion covers in the lounge room with something more summery but I wanted a quick fix this time. Instead of the usual buttons on the back I wondered if a simple over-lapping cover would work and it does! I cut 1.5 metres of fabric into 4 wide sections, hemmed each end and then sewed up the sides with a 3-4 inch over-lap...



I don't have an over-locker so I zig-zagged the edges to prevent them from fraying


and my beautiful Peace rose keeps on flowering


Have a great weekend where-ever you are,
Sue

  2. Sue, that's a very pretty fabric and a gorgeous rose. We have the State Rose Garden a couple of blocks away from us and there are 1,500 roses planted there. I must pay it a visit and take some photos one of these days.

  3. Wow, that fabric is gorgeous. Will add it to my wish list. Was it in curtains or general fabrics?
