I have been experimenting with pillowcases lately. I think they are such a simple way to jazz up a room.
For ages I have wanted to try a chevron pattern and after finding this tutorial decided to give it a go.
Yesterday I went to Bath (beautiful city by the way) and after a certain amount of searching on my mums part found a shop called The Makery.
My oh my, it is just beautiful. On entering I was greeted with a selection of the most beautiful fat quarters. What was a girl to do? If you are in the area stop by because it is like being in a sweety shop for crafters!
I finally picked one fat quarter and on getting it home made another pillow. This time long and thin to sit on my bed to protect my neck when reading.
Pretty pretty bunting.
What things have you been making recently?

Lovely sewing projects Abi. And I see from clicking on the link you have given that they have an ONLINE SHOP!!! Oh wow......
Great projects, would love a whole room pic as I am sure it looks glorious! Have already commented on a blog or two that I always lurk on :)
I found The Makery when I went to Bath for the Christmas market. Love the cushions....and I also really like how you've tied the bunting.
Oh, I saw an advert for the Makery yesterday and thought how much I would love a visit! Your bunting is beautiful - and so is the pillowcase. bang on trend too.
Hurray for Operation Speak Out! I think you should run it regularly
The Makery is one of my favourite shops in Bath!!! It's amazing :-). And I love everything you've made here......you are SO flipping creative Miss Beach and also so productive. Wow. Teach me?!
LOve the bird print. I"m busy commenting away today - such a great idea (since your blog is a good example of one I visit all the time but rarely leave a comment).

Great makes and I have been commenting lots today too. I think it was a great idea and can see that lots of people have followed your example. Tell Dad it was a great idea.
Hiya Abi just wanted to let you know I took your challenge seriously and have left about 60 comments on all the different blogs I have visited this evening! Phew I am tired now and really hate word verification lol!
Yes! The Makery is literally my favourite shop in Bath! I try and ration my visits though, otherwise I'd be broke!! <3
