Oh Mairi,
That does look lovely! :P I bet he/she was thrilled. You've used the tartan really neatly and evenly. I wonder if the clients will dress the bed as well as you or maybe you're expected to go on a daily basis?
I'm so glad you posted a picture. It 's good to see the end result when you feel you've been involved in the job.
Well done you!

Re: Bed Sash & Scatter Cushions

Thanks guys...I'll need to brush up on my photography...didn't notice the cream bed linen under the pillows until I down- loaded the pics...never mind u can't win them all

I've also got a circular table cloth to make..Any ideas of price for something which seems so simple but I know will be horrible to do...I'm even considering binding it rather than hemming... feedback will be really appreciated on this...

Hi Mairi
Well done on a lovely set of cushions and bed sash. You have lined the tartan up really well.

I lined the last circular table cloth that I made out of necessity (the fabric would have caught and run on the chip board table!). Basically I machine hemmed the two pieces together right sides together, and turned it through a small opening which I then hand stitched up. A quick press with the iron and the edges were lovely and neat. I found this so much easier than hemming all the way round. I had to put two side seams in the cloth, and made some discreet stab stitches in this area to hold the pieces together. The result was very pleasing - the circular shape was retained well all around the cloth. I would most likely do this again as it was nice and quick.
