New Lines: Bunting

Bunting is something that can be used for any occasion, whether it be to decorate a childs room, Birthday party, garden party or wedding.  It's becoming increasingly popular and the best thing is it can be made using my left over scraps!


This starts at $3 per flag.

Slack

Well I have been slack, infact down right lazy not updating my Blog, I mean how am I suppose to get regular readers if I'm not writing anything???  I have to admit the balance between my business, my 3 yr old and running a house had been a little off keel and with hubby working longer hours and 6 days a week with his new job I sort of had to concentrate on our beautiful boy a little more, but I don't care he's my pride and joy and I would do anything for him.


Anyway what has LiL Moo & Mee been upto??  We have introduced a couple of new lines into the business, I've had to close off custom orders for a few weeks to catch up and I'm also planning on what I want to bring into the business next year.....so stay tuned!!

Theory Collection

Well as promised here is some pictures of the cushions I have made out of the fabrics I posted earlier.

 

I have to say I do love the colours especially the blue/green and lime, has a real fresh look to it....Spring/Summer. They are available for sale on my Facebook page and more than one.

I Finished the other cushion

I finally finished the other cushion to go with the first one.  I am so happy with the end result especially with it being my first attempt. Making sure each line and row matched up wasn't the easiest and when I sewed it together, I had to hope that the fabric hadn't moved and thrown it out of alignment. 
It's been posted off to it's new how...twin little girls and I hope they like them as much as I did making them.

My First Panel Cushion

I have to admit because I am only still learning different ways to sew cushions, when a friend asked me to make her 2 cushions with 4 panels on each side out of the Darla Range of fabrics I really thought it was going to be a shamozal.
It took me nearly a week to plan each panel out on paper then when I thought it was ok, I wondered if it looked right because the fabric was so not my taste, I always saw it as very old fashioned. After passing a few designs past a couple of my friends in The Sewing Sisterhood I found out that alot of the fabric is discontinued. So it took me half a week to try and hunt down the fabric.

Well here is one of the cushions I completed today and there is another one on the way!

I have to say I am so happy with it and it looks brilliant! The colours really compliment each other and now I have to urge to do more, So now I just need people to order them lol.

I actually have some plans this week for some cushions that have 3 straight panels in it. This is one of the combinations:

And this is the other:

So stay tuned for the end results!

I got a New Book

I just bought this book and I love it. It's not really for the experienced sewer as they would probably find it as a "I know all that" book.

There some future projects I can see happening with this book and I can't wait to give them ago.
