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!
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.
