Custom Upholstery Project

So I've never upholstered anything before but got a call asking me if I could make a window seat cushion for a client. Sure I thought. Probably like a pillowcase and pretty easy. Boy was I wrong. It's a HUGE trapezoid size, and needed 2 layers of custom cording and an upholstery zipper. It was crazy hard, my machine hated going through all the thick layers but we made it!! I also did a dog bed and 3 coordinating pillows. Kinda crazy few days getting this done. The foam piece took up most of my living room floor! But I think it turned out good. Who knew I could upholster :-)
The finished product! 4 in thick window seat cushion and 3 coordinating pillows!
I had to make the cording in matching fabric. Then did a double layer, top and bottom. These pointed corners where tough.
The zipper on the side of the matching dog bed. I'm so proud of my zippers :-)

New Tote Bag

I never make my self things, but in helping my sister out this week, we decided to make tote bags together! My mom, the amazing seamstress, taught us all the correct techniques for finishing the bag so it looks completely professional and flawless! I love my new summer bag!
We made them out of heavy canvas material and lined with a coordinating fabric. We also added pockets and reinforced the handles.

My First Diaper Cake

These diaper cakes are so cute but so expensive to buy. I just knew I could figure out how to put it together. It was so much fun and I think turned out quite cute!

Red Blanket

I made this for a friends baby shower last week and LOVED how it turned out! It's for a little girl who is going to be sharing a room with her brother, so the mom chose red as the theme for the room. I don't get too many requests for red blankets so this was fun!
