A Skirt and a Tea-Towel...


While shopping for my little grand-daughter I found this 
frilly skirt.
Soft white cotton with layers and layers of frills.
It was on sale, so I bought more than one...


At the sale in Pottery Barn last month I found these tea-towels,
I love the print and some letters are embroidered.


This is why I bought more than one skirt,
I made a cushion out of it.
 I would like to meet the person 
that has so much patience to gather layers upon layers of cotton.
I would instantly hire her and sit her on a cushion, 
have her sew a fine seam,
and feed her strawberries, sugar and cream.


I cut of the top band of the skirt 
and stitched in the lace and circle.


I filled it up a bit too much...


The tea-towel wasn't spared..
I made a cushion out of it too.
The cushion insert was a bit bigger than the towel,
so I had to add a bit of material to the sides.








I hope you have a wonderful week.
Hugs.
