Weekend project: new cushions

This weekend I've been meaning to do some spring cleaning and freshen up the decoration. I thought about lightening up the colours a bit to match the weather that's getting milder every day. I always think that by simply changing the sofa cushions one can transform the living room. So, this is what I always do. I have winter cushion covers and spring/summer ones and put them on accordingly. However, as they're so easy to make, I often add new covers to my collection, when I come up with interesting fabric. This is what happened last weekend in Athens. I found some great fabrics to make two or three cushions, so today I sewed the first one. I lovely floral one! 



I'm quite happy about it, as it matches both the sofa and my armchair as well as the cushions I've already had. Instant tranformation! What do you think? I'm hoping within the week I'll make the rest.
Any weekend craft projects of your own?

  2. Lovely fabric. As it's supposed to rain, we'll be having a quiet day at home with probably some crafting and reading, and housework if I really have to. x

  3. Lovely fabric on the cushion. I have some cutains I need to make but I keep putting the job off as I have to be careful in matching up the pattern!
