Sorry about that, but I do bring apology gifts - TWO in fact!
Firstly, I have made two new cushion covers.
They aren't for me, in fact they are for my boyfriends lovely parents who asked me to make them some. They chose the fabric, all I had to do was make them with a zip closure. My god did that prove to be difficult. Since I don't have a zipper foot for my machine, I was having to maneuver the zip puller bit around to make sure I could actually sew it to the fabric properly. Lets just say that the second cushion went slightly smoother than the first. All in all, they're very cute!
Secondly, here's the second owl that I said I would make! He's been slightly simplified - there are no side panels: the front is just sewn to the back.
This does make him look slightly less fat and more elongated though, which im not sure if I like or not. Either way, this was another present for the man's parents! They had seen mine, commented on how cute he was and so I made them their own. You will notice that the wings, once again, slightly went a little bit wrong. In my defence, this time I did actually cut the fabric out correctly - it was just two sided fabric so I couldn't tell which side I had to put face down!!! OOOPPPSSS.
But I think it gives me a bit of a trademark when it comes to owls. Maybe I need to venture out into other animals now... I wonder what I can find in my book!
