rosette pillows ~

 Thank goodness for husbands with amazing technical abilities!  And patience.

I have not sewn for so long because my sewing machine was acting up.  Well, not really.  I just didn't know how to properly fill the bobbin with thread.  And I'm not patient enough to sit and read the instruction booklet.  Sad, but true!  I don't know, all those pictures in those manuals just make my eyes all buggy and my brain starts hurting almost instantly.  I think it's the creative side of my brain screaming for help.  At any rate, the husband offered to get me a new sewing machine for my birthday but instead I suggested that he just take a look at my current machine and see if he could get it working again.  It took him all of 10 minutes and she was buzzing along!

So, I pulled out my fabric stash and got busy making a few pillows and rosettes.

 



I finished three and will be running over to the shop this morning to drop them off.  Hopefully I'll be able to make some more this week!  I have another tub of vintage Christmas stuff to take over as well!

Hope you all have a good week ahead of you!
