pillow

over the last few weeks i went to a class taught by judith from just jude. i have to say it was soo fun, it was an applique class and i learnt so many new techniques, like needle-turn applique, satin stitching and naive sewing.

with all our new learned techniques, we made a cushion, with mitred corners (boy! that was difficult)

i choose to the naive sewing cause i just love the sketchy look it creates. judith had three patterns to choose from but i went with my own of teacups and saucers so it matched my border fabric.

i think every teacup needs an elephant on it, there was a space at the top so i embroidered a teapot on. i thought the writing would be really hard but it was surprisingly easy, i will definitely be using this technique again, thank you judith!!

another photo for good luck, i've already stared on my second and third cushion, yay!!
