Pillows

I was waiting for 5 minutes of free time since Spring to fix my husband's pillow. He is using a long pillow, and it was quite used, and low on feather, so he got a new one. The old one was sitting in a corner of the wardrobe to be fixed as a couch pillow. After several months I took the 5 minutes and cut it to a smaller sized cover and created a perfectly stuffed little pillow. I need only a new sheet to use it!

When I ordered a fabric for my sister-in-law I also ordered a stuffing material. I chosed a big one (5kg) of siliconed puff, and it came in a huge packet. I sewed up 3 pillowcases and stuffed them (~650g each). They still look a little bit bumpy, but I will smoothen them out soon.

The original huge bag

The remaining stuffing material - still a lot!

A bag for my sister-in-law

My sister-in-law is a physiotherapist, and when needed, she also takes her folding therapy bed for visits. The cover was kind of falling apart, and she asked me whether I can make a replacement. This was my first time with waterproof material, but I said I will give a try - and I did. 

I found online a good place to buy durable fabric (hektor extra 400D, 325 g/m at k-elme, could be even stronger). It turned out quite easy to sew, the most difficult part was the measuring of the original (90x75cm)! I took the original zipp and main strap, for the smaller handstrap I made a new one. I added a sidepocket with covers as well. I also realised that my velcro had adhesive on the back and it killed 2 of my strongest needles, so I skipped it.

Cherry

The last arch is ready!!! Cherry on the cake, no more confetti tree background, all the arches are done!

Pomarium - Apple

Last week I have finished the apple tree in the last but one arch, there is only the cherry remained. The confetti flowers took quite a while to stitch, but putting it on the blog was even more time consuming :)
