A thank you cushion
I haven't done much sewing reccently, and I've missed it. I spent a couple of hours this afternoon cutting and piecing this cushion, and marvelled at how calming the whole process of sewing is for me. I am very methodical when I sew, and I enjoy that. I could do with being more methodical and less flighty in other things I do.

I don't sew calmly; I sew in a frenzy, as if in a race against time. Will I get this sleeve on before someone needs something?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cushion! Love your fabric choices. Is that some kaffe fassett I spy there? Those really are the best sort of friends. We're on the cusp of moving house and I'm rather apprehensive about leaving ours behind.Also agreed that Sewing really is a great way to find serenity. Laura xp
