Lovely cushions!

I thought you might like to see the beautiful cushions that my attendees made on Weds night.  We used the Leaves, Fun Flowers and Butterflies dies and the amazing Big Shot!  Some used paper backed fusible web on their fabrics and bonded it to a plain backing material to strengthen it, others layered theirs with felt.

Come and have a look...

All so different and so gorgeous!  I was so impressed and inspired!  I'm having a catch up classes for all four weeks but have four people booked onto the cushion catch up already! If you would like to join them please let me know so that I can get the cushions here in time (date and time to be confirmed...)

Next week is a beautiful little cream lamp.  I still have three spaces left so please shout soon if you would like to come... paperworks@hotmail.co.uk

Bunting and Cushion Classes

I've been wanting to blog all week and the time has just been eaten up, but at last I can post the photos of the beautiful bunting my class attendees made last Wednesdays and give you a little peek of tomorrow's class...

Now I have a confession to make.  I have been so enraptured with my Big Shot, I have been looking to make use of it in all my crafting, so turned to it when I wanted to make some pretty bunting for my craft space.  So I hunted and hunted until I found a Sizzix bunting die and made this...



And on Wednesday night, my class attendees made these (very sorry for poor lighting, camera is still broken..)

Vicky's bunting...

 Carrie-Ann's close up (please excuse ironing board cover in the background!)

Sorry to Michelle who also made a beautiful bunting but I haven't got in on camera!

And a sneak peek of this week's class...





I used the Butterflies and Fun Flowers dies for my decorations and some Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon and Twill Tape.  If you're free come along and make one for yourself of your own chosen design.
