Well, I’ve decided what my first projects are going to be, and been out to buy the material for them.
First project is going to be a doorstop for my mother’s newly decorated living room – she has been looking for one for ages, but hasn’t been happy with any of the available options. The room is duck egg blue and oatmeal/biscuity colours, and I found this perfect Tanya Whelan fabric from John Lewis:
Next project on the cards is going to be a book support cushion for the several large and fragile Victorian reference books I frequently have to use, and for this, I am going to use the lovely Rosali blue fabric from Ikea:
I recommend Ikea for anyone looking for these sorts of fabrics: this was just £5 a metre, compared to the very similar fabric available at a well-known retailer which comes in at £15 a metre!
Will be starting both projects in the next few days, and will keep you posted on each step!
