My little niece Ellie turned 2 last week (where did that go!!) so i thought i'd make her a little cushion as she will soon be going into her own big bed. I did some simple hand embroidery and then thought i'd try a bit of freehand machine embroidery which i'd never really tried before - simple but really quick and effective.
All was finished and going well when i decided to press the cushion - and then i did something really really stupid - i put the hot iron straight on top of the ric rac and nylon ribbon !!!!!!!!! Yes i know what you're thinking - they'll melt - and yes they did. What on earth possessed me to put the iron straight on top i'll never know (could blame it on the pregnancy hormones i suppose!!) however luckily the said melted pieces were at the side of the cushion so i added some extra buttons to cover up my silly silly mistake (yet another minor disaster covered up with buttons). Hoping you never encounter this little crafting moment of panic - happy sewing x
great cushion and I love how you covered up the mishap:0)
Congrats on the pregnancy too!
