Liberty Print Elf Christmas Stockings & Giveaway

Liberty Print Elf Christmas Stockings

From the Liberty Print Fabric Bundle I received

I chose four out of the five fabrics to feature in my Elf Christmas Stockings.

Each stocking uses all four fabrics

Tatum F Tana Lawn, Liberty Art 

Poppy and Daisy F Tana Lawn

Red Dorothy Cotton Craft Fabric

Claire-Aude L Tana Lawn

Each stocking has a stuffed toe and real jingle bell

A patchwork heel and freehand quilting

At first I didn't know if my clashing mix would work, 

but as with all Liberty print fabrics I had nothing to fear!

I will be uploading a tutorial and pattern 

on these Tuesday, with a side bar link

Skull & Crossbones cushion

SUERYDER UPCYCLE COMPETITION

My Entry into the Sue Ryder Upcycle Competition

And this is how I got there.....

Take one pile of fabrics & an old zip from a charity shop......

Sew the strips of denim together for the cushion cover

Cut out the skull shapes

I was quite amused at with the mouth made with the fabric pattern!

The back sewn together..........

The front & sides sewn together.........

The Hidden Zip......

The Words..........

10" Hand cut out skull 'n' crossbones over stitched to cushion front.

Psychedelic Ab Fab Skull!

For this I used denim jean legs cut up into strips as the cushion cover on both sides, the jeans came from The Salvation Army, an old 70's tablecloth / or curtain fabric was used for the eyes and bones and another super soft 70's curtain fabric as the skull, these 2 fabrics came from the Salvation army furniture store which near me sells 'remnants' of old fabrics, the opening at the bottom has a recycled bottle green and metal zip, with the word 'lightening' on the pull! this zip came from an old holdall of mine. It is machine embroidered around the skull and bones.

If you love this cushion please add it to your favourite items. So I have a chance of winning the competition
