Drab to Fab

Hello!

Happy new year to you all! I'm hoping 2015 will be a healthy and happy year! With some crafty and home projects thrown in!

2014 finished off with one final sewing project using a beautiful piece of vintage floral fabric my sister had given me for Christmas. We have recently bought a new bed from Ikea, the plain headboard wasn't doing it for me. Then came the lightbulb moment! I'll make a headboard cover from the fab floral fabric. As usual I rushed into the project and completely forgot the measure twice cut once rule. I sewed the cover a little on the tight side but after a strength giving bowl of hot porridge and Nutella (try it! Honestly best breakfast ever!) I managed to squeeze the cover onto the headboard, here's how it's looking now, and how it'll be until I have to cut it off! In 2015 I must learn to slow down!

The fabulous floral fabric

In my book you can never have too many floral patterns, this gorgeous Marks and Spencer's bedspread was a charity shop find. 

Happy 2015!
