Recovered sewing stool

While I was in Hilton Head this summer, my husband and I went thrifting and that is when I bought the Necci sewing machine. We also bought an all wood sewing table that will need a little refinishing. It has a cute stool that you can store items in, but the vinyl on it was dry rotted. I recovered it Saturday and added new foam to the seat as well. I think it turned out pretty cute.

Tile Quilt Pillow

Happy Monday morning to you! Although my weekend was a bit busy, I managed to get my Vogue blouse sewn up. The shoulders are too wide, but I am going to try to fix that this week. It was an incredibly quick sew. I used my twin needle for the first time to do the hem. Love it! I'll post some pictures later today. This morning though as I was eating & drinking my tea, I came across Adventures in Dressmaking and the post she had on home decor from Anthropologie. This quilted pillow caught my eye because I own a book, Tile Quilt Revival, that has many patterns for things like this. It is basically quilting that leaves a background border around each piece. It is all lovely. Maybe I need to take this pillow project with me on my retreat!
