I have been a little bit of a failure in updating this blog but I have been getting a little sewing done.
My Acacia star duvet cover has stalled at the complete top stage:
However I have been working hard on using my scraps to make some coordinating pillows. I have
made Half Square Triangles out of some of the Acacia prints then appliquéd them onto the existing
black pillows that came with the ikea duvet set I bought. I believe the technique I used is raw edge appliqué? At any rate I ironed them onto bondaweb, trimmed them to 2" square, ironed them onto the pillows then stitched around the edge. I ended up using my buttonhole stitch and going round twice to get the effect I wanted, I'm quite pleased with it in the end.
