Gallery Fun!
Hi, it's me, Christine. I spent some time this afternoon purusing the MyCraftivity gallery, and i see that my friend Kristin is doing some home decor sewing (my current fascination, as well). Pillows, window treatments--what fun! Here are some pictures of what she's been up to.
These are pillows that she made from using placemats (two per pillow). I love the idea of using placemats because they can be slightly heavier in weight than quilting fabric (which can be nice for pillows) and the sizes are really manageable.
And she's been making curtains, too!
Thanks, Kristin, for sharing your projects in the gallery! Any member of our happy sewing group can post images directly to the sewing gallery. Just click on the large sewing icon at the top of the page, then click on Latest Gallery Post, then click Upload on the far right side of the screen. These images will be in the sewing gallery so that all the sewing fans will be sure to find them. And when you load the images, please put your user name in the caption, so we know who to oooh and aaah to!
Until next time,
Christine













The pillow placemat idea is great. There are so many beautiful ready-made placemats in a huge variety of colors and fabric designs. Another great way to use ready-made placemats can be found in Krause Publication's book, Low-Sew Boutique. Bags, totes and accessories are all made with existing placemats, rugs, pot holders and other household items. Check it out in Mycraftivity shop.
