Topstitch plate basket

My new Janome Horizon sewing machine came with two stitch plate- straight and zigzag. One is in use, the other is set aside. I always thought their spot should be under acrylic table. So I made just right size basket.

I used already quilted and appliqued sample piece of fabric. I was learning applique in combination with free motion sketching. In the and I added some FMQ. The piece was waiting to be used. Together with Kaffe fabric it looks even better.

For one basket, you'll need one 7 1/2  x 6" quilted cotton rectangle sendvich and cotton fabric for exterior 7 1/2 x 6"

From each corner trim 1 1/4" square.

Sew corners with  right sides together with 1/4" seam allowance. Repaet all  with outer fabric.

With right sides together, place the exterior inside the interior. Match seams and pin in place.

 Stitch with 1/4" seam all around except about 1 1/2" wide opening. Turn the right side out from the opening.

Press the opening. Topstitch. Press corners.

Blazina za IVAR stol / Cushion for IVAR chair

Za 3 cm debelo peno, ki sem jo obrezala na velikost sedala stola sem naredila patcwork prevleko. Za to sem želela uporabiti tehniko flying geese - enpo izmed mojih najljubših gradnikov quiltov - s pomočjo mojega novega ravnila.


For 2 1/4 inch high foam I made the pillow cover. I used my favourite flying geese block made with my new Quilt in a Day flying geese ruler.

Na spodnji del sem prišila STOPPAR mrežo iz Ikeje, ki je prvotno namenjena za pod preprogo, da ne drsi po podlagi.
On the bottom I attached STOPPAR mesh from IKEA which primary function is for under rugs to prevent slippering.

Stol je sedaj  neprimerljivo udobnejši.
The chair is much confortable now.
