Rosette Pillow

This past weekend we took it easy and relaxed at home Friday & Saturday (except for church & Paul's golf excursions).  This meant that I had time to sew!  The project this time was another Pinterest find.  I knew exactly what fabric I wanted to use...but I was sure I had left it in storage back in NC.

When I got the fabric out the other day to make my dress I found the purple fabric I wanted to use for the flowers!  So, here is my latest project...

I used the same purple & green fabric that I used on the leaf pillow a couple years ago

I asked Paul what he thought when I was done, and his exact words "That looks great.  You know, it really pulls the room together."  He sure does know exactly what to say :)  And if you know him from high school at all, you'll know that bestowing the honor of "pulling a room together" is really quite hard to achieve.  I love that guy.


Last night I missed my fitness class so I got home a bit earlier than usual and pulled my sewing machine back out again :)  This time it wasn't quite as exciting though because I was mainly mending clothes that had tears or ripped seams.  But I did re-purpose an old pair of khaki pants into shorts, so I'm pretty excited about that.  Now I just need to find a sewing supply store in Abu Dhabi and I'll be overwhelmed with too many ideas/materials and not enough time!

I'm really wanting to make something with ruffles now...like this, this, this, or this.  We'll see!
