Sew Pretty

There's been a lot of sewing and making in the Lynn household lately! I have an Etsy site.   FloraLilly is the name;  an amalgam of my two grandmothers' names; Florence and Lillian.  http://FloraLilly.com  is being built!
The cushion, above, is what I call a Memory cushion cover.  You know when you have lovely, favourite and pretty dresses / blouses / shirts hanging in your wardrobe you can't, for some reason or other, wear again, but still love them so much? Well, that.  I made the top part of this dress into a cushion cover!  Careful to sew it so it retained the character of the dress, I am so pleased I now see it every day in my sitting room instead of it being hidden away from site, useless.  My children used to love me wearing this, so it has lovely memories.  You can send me your favourite garments and for £20 I'll make one for you!  Get in touch.  Follow me on Twitter !

I saw on Dive's blog that you have a post. I didn't realize you were still blogging (or blogging again)! Very nice, I know you, you have to be creative, you have to be making something.

What do you think of this new blogger interface? I'm having trouble getting used to it!

I saw some of your lovely things when you posted them on FB. This is an attractive layout for your blog, altho it's not quite as straightforward on how to comment.

It is very weird isn't it?! Yes I pop in now and again, not nearly as oft as I should! You are right, always like to create something or other. Lovely to see you here Petrea x
