Pincushion Sweatshop

Not posted in AGES. It’s a bit too sunburnie outside for me today, so I broke the sewing machine out in preparation for the embgraphics studio’s new sofa arriving on Wednesday 🎉, it will be needing a couple of cushions. And I love how they’ve turned out.

I managed to get a recycled coffee bean bag from Glen Lyon Coffee a while back, add to that a few bits of left over & recycled denim, pieced together for the reverse. The only real costs were a couple of 26.5” duck down cushions from Dunelm at £10 each and voilà…

EDIT: finished 😁👍

Not posted anything for a loooong time. Making a Merchant & Mills The Victor Apron. Never sewn with Oil cloth before and I’m really enjoying it. Should get it finished tomorrow. I”ll be wearing it when I’m getting messy in embgraphics shed.
