Hi Sewing friends! Today I get to be a part of the Crafty Little Things to Sew Blog Hop. I get to give you a peek into it today and show you my reversible chair cushions that I made. Have you seen this book yet? It's the newest book by Caroline Critchfield-Fairbanks and the bloggers of SewCanShe.
This book is full of cute little projects you can sew up in an afternoon. I love a quick sew, don't you?!
Projects from 'Crafty Little Things to Sew'
There are a few projects that I'm just itching to make. Like this Quilty First Aid Kit! I think my daughter needs this to keep all her meds, skin creams and ointments organized as she heads out to college next year.
The Two-in-one Lunch Tote and Placemat and the Spacious Spa Caddy look handy and super cute.
The project I designed for the book
I designed a project for the book too. It's called the Casual Coupon Pouch. I'm a little bit of a lazy couponer. I love a good deal but I don't have time to go to the extremes and find ALL the good deals.
So I thought it would be nice to have a pretty little pouch that I could throw in my bag to store coupons and receipts so they don't clutter up my wallet, which is usually what happens. It looks like an ordinary pouch but there are dividers inside to help keep things nice and tidy.
Reversible Chair Cushions
Okay one more thing if you are still with me. I was lucky enough to get a chance to sew up a project from the book TODAY! I made reversible chair cushions for my kitchen chairs using the Reversible Barstool Cushion pattern.
I was so excited to see this pattern because I've been wanting to make chair cushions for my new little table in my dining nook.
I made this table using a tutorial by Delia's Hairpin Coffee Table Tutorial.
Houndstooth decorator fabric from Amazon
While the pattern makes a reversible chair cushion that is so cute for mixing prints I decided to just use one fabric for the top, bottom, and piping. This little cushion is taking me one step closer to realizing my dreams of decorating my home in Joanna Gaines' style (LOL!). I think I need one with fun prints for my sewing seat though.
Since I didn't have a button cover kit on hand I just tacked the center down in 4 places to quilt it a little. I just love how they turned out. I wasn't sure how the piping would go but I just followed the instructions and it came out perfectly. Love!
I hope you'll check out this Crafty Little Things to Sew book. If you make something let me know! I'd love to see it.
I love both your cushions and your coupon holder. I definitely need to check out this book!
I like both of your projects. I have made cushions before, and they were not as easy as I thought they'd be, so I'd love to see how to do it. Thanks for a great giveaway.
both projects look great!
I love your table and cushions (the houndstooth is awesome), thank you so much for sharing. Have a great day! dawnm1993(at)gmail(dot)com
Totally one step closer to you Joanna Gaines style house 😉 Love the print on the cushion! Love the 'Save' on the front of the coupon pouch. Looks like a fun book!
I ❤️ The projects in your book! I definitely need to make the first aid kit and lunch bag. Too cute!
I followed you on Instagram and commented. @Mistyfuji check out mine, too. 😊
I love how your seat cushions turned out! And I love the material you used.
