When I was a wee child I was basically told that I could not knit nor sew so I simply didn't bother. Now, after a prolonged and enforced period of inactivity, I've decided to prove that teacher wrong. Here's my first sewing effort - no sniggering please. A huge thanks has to go to my Mum, again, who patiently saw me through the (painful) process.Yes, you've guessed it, it's a cushion. I popped to the fabric shop with my Mum and chose these as the colours looked good and I wanted something for my red chair. The stripy material is linen, whilst the rest is cotton - not the best of combination but it didn't prove too big a problem. I even managed to saw in a zip, which was not as complicated as I thought it might be. So not bad for a first attempt even if it was only squares.
I've since moved onto a blanket, which will keep me warm hopefully when I'm admiring the views from my new flat, and I'm knitting a scarf, too. I hate to admit it but I enjoy it.
