workshop update

29 August 2013



Not a lot to show you yet, but I have been doing a bit of sewing for our workshop project. I made a cushion cover, quilt cover, curtains and I covered two lampshades (not shown, as I forgot to take pics!).
After work one day, we took a trip over to Notting Hill to go to our favourite fabric shop, but it was closed! So I ended up buying some Liberty print fabric on Ebay instead to cut the cost a bit and some lovely white fine lawn cotton for the bed clothes, which I'm really pleased with. Ebay really is coming up trumps these days!

I'm also loving that blue floral Liberty print fabric, so I'm thinking to keep that one for our home and make another one for the workshop! What am I like, eh?
Anyways, the curtains are to hang on the side of our old shelf unit that used to be covered in muck from jewellery polishing and oxidising. Nao has sanded in down and re-painted the top. We have all our kitcheny bits on it (mini fridge, microwave and tiny washing machine!) so the curtain will hide all that.

A bit confusing I know, but it will all make sense when I show you later, honest!

  3. Really nice work! I also like the blue one...

    What's your favorite fabric shop in Notting Hill? I'm about to move to London, so I'm looking for everything related to fabrics...
    Have you already made a post about fabric shops in London?

    1. Hello, Its called The Cloth Shop. They do mostly upholstery fabric and linens.
      I usually buy fabrics online to be honest (Ebay), or go to Liberty's if I'm feeling flush. x

  5. I have just bought that Liberty fabric from the cushion and bottom photo to make pocket squares and bow ties for the boys at our wedding. Also from ebay! I'm even happier with my choice now!
