Creating




A tea towel,

one very attractive thrifted vinyl pouffe for $2







and a linen tablecloth...

A bit of pinning and sewing later, and there you have it, a Tasmanian souvenir themed addition to the lounge room.

I'm working on making a bit of a dent in the tea towel collection, with over 30 suitable for making into cushions I have no excuses, so expect to see a few more creations showing up here.

  1. You are a busy one! I found the the towels have 'dried up' a bit in the op shops lately. They must be at your place! Sew on, Macbeth!
