Hurray! Emily's cushions are complete! All 10 cushions have been recovered and I am soooo ready to move on to new projects! Emily took the cushions home, but I'll get some pictures of them "in place" as soon as I get over to her house. I still have the kitchen curtains to finish, but they don't feel as urgent (she doesn't need them to enjoy watching TV!)
With the completion of the cushions I decided to totally do something for myself.
I purchased this pattern awhile back (when they were on sale.) As soon as I saw the pattern I had an idea of what I wanted to do.
The red fabric was left over from another project. There was just enough of it to cut the blouse pieces. I also knew I wanted to use this small embroidered tablecloth. It's one of those pieces I bought, despite the fact it is in bad shape in the middle of the cloth. There are a few small holes and some really bad stains that just won't come out, but I still love all the embroidery.
I cut the good edges of the tablecloth that were usable and sewed it in as the yoke of the blouse.
I still have the placket to complete. I want to put decorative snaps down the front instead of buttons ...so that will require a trip to the store!
I'm working on lots of new ideas...so till tomorrow...

That is just adorable! I love old embroidery, too, but you really put this one to good use! And in time for the 4th!
Can you make another?!?!? I want one!!! ;)
Very cute! Good idea, using the tablecloth.
