Today Munchkin is a whole two years old. She doesn't quite understand the concept of it all, but she has got the hang of presents and cards and cake :)
I was all set to make her a squillion presents, but I thought about it for a while, and I figured I was probably doing it for me rather than her and I didn't have the time anyway. So I thought about what she would really like, and made that instead. I bought this fabric about a month ago, not knowing what I was going to do with it but at the same time knowing that it would definitely be used and not just sit in my stash. When I brought it home Munchkin took it out of the carrier bag and lay on it, looking at all the different countries, so the obvious choice was to make a floor cushion out of it.
There is a guy down the road from us who makes cushions and curtains and has a shop where he sells upholstery fabric on the cheap. He made the inner for me for £4.50! I told him he should be charging more, I was expecting to pay at least a tenner :)
Munchkin loves it, and I'm hoping it'll be a favourite lounging spot for years to come.
I love it! I'm furiously sewing a felt tea set for Rylee's upcoming 2nd - June 4th! Almost the same as Munchkin.
ReplyDeleteI love that fabric, what is it?! Might need me some for a quilt... Lovely pillow and happy birthday to the Munchkin BTW!
ReplyDeleteHappy 2nd Birthday to your little Munchkin.
ReplyDeleteI love the World Map fabric for the floor cushion. It looks great.
Thanks peeps. KC - the fabric was from the Magic Fabric shop, £2.00 a metre. There's no writing on the selvedge saying who it's by, so I'm guessing it's seconds? Although I can't find anything wrong with it. It's a bit heavy duty for a quilt cover, more like sturdy curtain material. I can go and see if there's any left and post it if you want me to :)
ReplyDeleteAw! Happy birthday to your little one! What a lovely present, that fabric is perfect for a big girl of a whole two years old! :)
