There are two new pillows on my sofa. One with a strong pattern is really a nice colourful spot in the living room. And another pillow is another story. In a nutshell it's a big failure. I was so excited to transfer a print onto the fabric... And I failed so much. And what's the worst I don't know what went wrong. I used an acetone and the cotton and a laser printer. And the picture became washed-out brown instead of light black! When I saw the result  I wanted immediately to use some fabric paint to make it better. But after some time the failure became quite interesting and I decided to use it and finish the pillow. Maybe one day I will use this fabric paint...

And finally I spent also some time on a new doll. I was inspired by my wonderful colleague, called in some circles (i.e. by me ) The Black Sheep. So this is my present for her - her alter ego :)

Despite the fact that I haven't really made any advanced project lately I have to say I've been a prolific sewer and blogger as well!
 

I had a plan to sew some maternity clothes. But luckily I skipped that idea :) In the last weeks of my pregnancy I didn't think about new clothes at all. It's the least important right now I guess. But I felt and still feel like doing something! As I moved to another country I left my sewing machine at my parents house. But my husband surprised me one day and brought his mother's sewing machine. Even tough it's a very basic model and consequently heavy-handed, I appreciate the gesture. And after all better that than nothing.

So here we are: new place, new furniture or its lack :) To make it more cosy I started to do some decorative stuff. First I made some bunting flags and pillow-cases to my son's room. Then pillow-cases to the living room. And my last project was my first tilda rabbit.

I didn't make any special work on the pillow-cases. I wanted the work to be simple and fast. The only requirement was a nice fabric (I used a zipper to close each of them to be sure they will keep a nice and firm shape). And I didn't make any clothes for my first doll because naked rabbit looks really good to me :) My son is not a fan of soft toys so I knew that it would be a decoration only. I would probably do more of them to give away as a present - it's quite a pleasant work.
