Saturday is for sewing

My routine for the past few weeks has been to work on a project while at the store on Saturday mornings. Sometimes E comes with me and we do something together. Or like today, I decide to finish a project I’ve put aside far too long.

chair 
This chair has been sitting in our basement for too many years. It is yet another inheritance from a neighbor that gave it to me when they moved. I loved the lines of the Windsor styling and it is actually pretty comfortable. It swivels and rocks!
My dad repaired a broken leg on it when he was here in April. Now all it needed was a fresh new cushion and perhaps a pillow.
I knew when the Amy Butler ‘Nigella’ fabric came in that I would use one of them for the cushion.

It needed a pillow so I took the leftovers of other Amy Butler fabrics from a couple other little store projects and made a simple pieced pillow.

Just to prove that even “experts” make mistakes…

The first time I sewed the pillow cover together, I goofed up and sewed it with one side wrong-side out. Doh! That’s why God invented the seam ripper.
