Over the years I have collected velvet curtains in different colours - the larger pairs I have left intact but some of the smaller curtains I have used to back needlepoint panels for cushion covers. I have gone for pinks, greens and creams and they all seem to blend in very well. If you do not have room for the wingbacks (which I hope you do) there are a lot of tutorials for making patchwork style pouffes from scratch to create colourful extra seating. My Nan also made me smocked velvet cushions - I have the grid but no instructions on how to use it, but Debbie Shore (from Create and Craft has got to grips with this and has been doing features on what is now known as Canadian Smocking). I intend to do some of these as well to mix and match in with my needlepoint cushions to add a touch more luxury and comfort because they really are comfy. Take care.

My mum when she got rid of her original moquette cottage sweet bought new as a bride after 17 years gave it to my Nan - there was still a lot of wear left in it. Bought linen rose patterned fabric and completely made covers for the two armchairs and the settee. It looked lovely. Look forward to see how this progresses. I too like Sarah Moores ideas and have her books on the bookshelf. It looks lovely and is frugal to do whereas if you buy new they charge you an arm and a leg for the same vision whereas doing it your way has so much more charm. Keep up the good work.<br /><br />Pattypan<br /><br />xPattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825061743534929555.post-34144786956027995952016-02-05T08:52:07.836-08:002016-02-05T08:52:07.836-08:00Now you have impressed me, I can't wait to see...Now you have impressed me, I can't wait to see how you get on.mamasmercantilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011278973985658118noreply@blogger.com
