Such exciting times at the minute, my lovely and I are about to embark on renting our first home together, which is a beautiful apartment with gorgeous wood floors, a second bedroom all for me and my sewing, and floor to ceiling windows which will let in so much light! I am far too excited and everyone who knows me is probably sick of hearing me gush about it already, sorry! :)
But it does mean that I finally get to start creating beautiful things for our home, so much to do! I've started with some cushions for the lounge, I wanted grown up and sophisticated but colourful and I found all these scraps of stunning silk dupion for £1 each. £1! A panel of gold adds sophistication and I'm really loving the geometric blocks of colour.
The knitted cushion was originally destined to be a scarf but the colour matched so perfectly to the silk that I changed plans and stitched the rectangle to form an envelope. My knitting is never the neatest but I like to think it adds a charming, homespun quality :)
Lastly, I felt some element of pattern was needed and opted for a striking monochromatic chevron to tie in with the geometric theme, backed and piped with more of the silk for a pop of colour.
I love these cushions and can't wait to get them into our new home! :)
