Project cushions

After Luna had an accident on some of the scatter cushions on our bed, I had to take off the covers to be able to wash them only to discover that the inside covers have all but disintegrated. 😲

 

After digging in my stash, I decided on a fabric and started stitching new covers.  It was the first time I used the Janome My Lock 644D I inherited from my mother.  What an absolute lovely machine. 


What a difference a new piece of fabric makes


and in no time at all three were looking brand new. 
 
I will however have to make new covers for all, so this project will be ongoing for some time.  

I then made a bed for Britney, our Chow/Boerboel mix, by stitching four pillowcases together, stuffing the pillows inside and stitching the openings closed.


I then used an old duvet cover to stitch a cover and just like that this project was done as well.


I then continued making more dog beds for our local SPCA using old pillows.  Before I could finish covering them also with the old duvet, our little Yorkshire Terrier, Luna, decided it looks too inviting and caught a nap.😀
