Little contest is over and there were 2 right answers – I was making a PILLOW CASE! Marija and Heidi guessed correctly. I wrote their names on two little papers, put Lola on couch with belly down and letted her chew one. Marija – you habe been chewed! Congratulations! Send me your mailing address on sandraperhaj@yahoo.com and you'll get some (well, few) things I made. Hope you'll like it. Now, though I ment to do this pillow case with lime/cream yarn and orange fabric backing … I changed my mind and turned to orange/cream yarn front and blue fabrick back – so it could match living room: Also decidedto go with Larksfoot stitches: When there are no kids on couch, and all toys are put in place...
...little Larksfoot pillow fits perfectly, don't you think! I was doubting between pillow and pillow case, actualy, but with three perky kids around it was much wiser to make pillow case since that way is easier to wash it. Back of p. case is overlaping one: And If there are anyone who would like to „walk-this-way" (Adore all of Mel Brooks movies) here is what I did. First cut two squares/rectangles (depending on shape of your crocheted front) for front and back of p. case (with seam allowance), and one rectangle (overlap) in fabric of backing: Lay the face of overlap fabric on face of main front fabric and machine sew it to get this: Then fold upper sides both of back fabric and overlap and make welts: Fold back the overlap on the face of front fabric and over that back fabric (front and back face with their interiors) like this: Sew starting from upper right corner, going down then to the left finishing up at the upper left corner! Turn your work inside out, hand sew Larksfoot square/rectangle: And your couch is happy! (at least till kids come down and start molesting it) So, if someone read those instructions and wonders why are written so clumsy – I have an perfect explanation – I always look at the pic when stumble upon some tut and rearly read instructions, so now I am paying the price of my neglect! Now I know what to do next time I find something interestiong to make – READ, READ, READ SANDRA!(damn, now I understand why hubby calls me Daffy) No matter about my half-literacy one last pic to show the most important fact about this p. case – Lola approved it!!!!!! |

| Sue October 12, 2009 12:51 AM PDT Wow Sandra your living room looks so spacious. How do you keep from having clutter everywhere in there. I always look at my house and there is stuff everywhere. Maybe I need to simplify my house too. I love the cushion and it suits the mushroom brown color scheme too. Lola is looking gorgeous as always. | ||
