Crafters Companion- September Project- Half yard kids cushion

I still can't believe its September, where has the year gone? Its been great making all these lovely projects as part of the Crafters Companion Inspirers Design Team. 

Anyway heres another projects for September where I could make a project of my choice. I sat and had a thought and a flick through some books and decided on making the kids Pillow pal cushion from Debbie Shore's Half yard kids book. 

Heres my result! Obviously it does take a while to make because of all the different pieces required to make your character but wouldn't this make a fab gift for a child for Christmas or Birthday.

I would rate this as an intermediate project purely because of time and the different pieces. 

I chose pink and blues as the fat quarter pack I chose to use had these colour in them. 

As usual I will post pictures and links to the products I've used. I have also used extras from my stash such as felt, toy filling, buttons and trims.

Crafters Companion- July- Extra Project- Wine Bottle Holder

Because I love sewing! I decided I was going to make a few extra projects for July. I decided to make a project out of sew inspire issue 4. There is so many projects in there and it was hard to chooses which one I wanted to make. I decided to go with the wine bottle holder and make it very summery.

I used fabric I had left over from The cotton craft co pastel patchwork pink fat quarters and some wadding I had lying around. 

I also Used my Debbie Shore heart frame die to put some appliqué on the bottom.

This project was quick and easy, I would say the hardest part was the binding around the top.

I love how it turned out and love that the fabrics I used give it a lovely summery theme!

Crafters Companion June Projects - Owl Bunting using Debbie Shore appliqué die

So a couple of months ago now I applied to be a part of Crafters Companion new design team called the Inspirers and a few weeks ago I found out I had been accepted! I am so excited about this wonderful opportunity. This means I will be doing lots of blogging showing you the projects I make using the fabulous Crafters Companion products and showing you step by step tutorials too.

For my first Project for June ( I know it's now July) I was asked to make a project of my choice. I decided to go with Owl Bunting using one of Debbie Shores appliqué dies.

I had the idea in my head for it to be bright and colourful and it to be displayed in a child's room, so I Decided to use the bright felt pack of the website, I am so pleased with how they turned out!

I then came across some of this Burlap ribbon in Hobby Craft and thought this would be great to use for the string but you could use any type of ribbon.

I would like to that Crafters Companion for this brilliant opportunity.
So watch this space for lots more projects and tutorials !
