Trees 2

Trees 4

Trees 3

I've had this tree-silhouette fabric sitting on my shelf for a while now, and finally let myself cut into it. I love the natural tree print combined with rather fanciful colourings: pink, rust-red, blue and grey. I used it to make these cushion covers for my shop update this week. They have matching backings made from wool fabric. 

Is it too early to be thinking of Christmas presents? (Sorry for mentioning it, if it is!) I was thinking that I might try and find more of this tree-fabric to make pillow covers for friends. In addition, I'm hoping the children will design some more of these, so we can make finger-puppet families of animals for their cousins this Christmas. If I start now, it might happen…

    I love that fabric but had not seen it in those colours before. Ah! Beautiful. They will be snapped up in no time, I am sure.

    Even though it pains me to say it, I think that now is precisely the right time to start thinking of crafty Christmas presents, before the pressure of November and December.
    The fabric is lovely 🙂

    it’s much better to make a start now than in the rush of December, it’s what I tell myself every year. I love that fabric, looks great as cushions.
