another sewing project
2007 @ 7:57 am
Yes, i am still knitting, but it’s just a boring seed stitch scarf for the husband. If you really want to see it, I’ll post it sometime this week.
I whipped up this little (okay, it’s large) pillow one night last week. It’s also an Alexander Henry print. What is it with me and this dude lately? It’s a flange pillow using instructions from my Singer Complete Guide to Sewing. I got the pillow form at Ikea for a cool $7.50! All goose down.
Excuse Mr. Sassy… he is unconscious on the couch quite often and i just wanted to take the picture already.
I discovered during this project that I need a zipper font. I’ve got a wonky seam since I sewed the pillow form right into the thing. I just couldn’t get close enough to connect the line! I also learned how to blind hem stitch for this pillow, which is a neat little trick! Even so, I remember my mom having something called “invisible thread”. I’m gonna go out and get some of that stuff.

looks great! i love alexander henry. i have unknowingly bought lots of his fabric in the past 
Cute fabrics, here and on the burp cloth. I had a hard time passing AH up last week.
It’s gorgeous! Where has Alexander Henry been all my life? Clearly I’m going to need to find a source once I acquire a sewing machine…
It’s a french pillow! All french pillows are square, and the pillow cases have that little flat ruffle around the edge. Oh, I miss french pillows…
