Little Missy finally has her second duvet cover, a polka dot cover with butterflies to flutter around as she sleeps.
I appliqued different fabrics scraps (some Liberty) on with some free machine embroidery, they are all a little different in their design and I really loved doing this.
Missy Big sat with me whilst I was making this, she had her sewing project out and we spent a lovely afternoon chatting and stitching - perfect.

Little Missy trying it out.
This is the first one I did, the linen and cotton flowers are appliqued, with a few swirly stitches to add some texture.

I plan to get some clothes made for the girls this summer and this has really spurred me on.
It's been too long since I made any clothes and I'm itching to get back to it.
Life seems to be settling down a bit as the girls get bigger and I seem to have a bit more energy.
happy sewing x
What pretty stitching! I love those butterflies...such lovely fabric and the freehand embroidery works really well, love it!
ReplyDeleteLittle Missy is a very lucky wee girl!!
Can't wait to see what you make for them next!

Wow colette, these are so beautiful! Wish I had a mama like you to make me pretty things...
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to make bed covers for my two munchkins, maybe I will give this method a go... not butterflies tho. Robots or elephants... now theres an idea.
