March 2, 2013 By //  by Margarete Miller Leave a Comment

Last year I made some cool pillow cases for my nephews using 4 fat quarters of material. I forgot to take pictures, of course. I wanted to make a pillow case for their sister, my niece E, and a few weeks ago I found perfect coordinating material to do so. The idea comes from a …

Sewing project – Table placemats

March 2, 2013 By //  by Margarete Miller Leave a Comment

I loved this document fabric and originally wanted to use it for curtains in one of our rooms. One of the customer reviewers said they were going to use it for making table placemats and I liked that idea too. I had to think about what I wanted to do for the reverse and after …
