pillow pillow pillow

quilted pillow case 20"

I am in pillow mood right now. I finished up two quilted pillow case this week.
After I received my sewing machine back from maintenance, it works very well!
So I have no problem when I quilted. 　

メンテナンス後のミシンは非常に調子よく、調子がいい今こそキルト、キルトと２つのクッションカバーを仕上げました。

This is warm color combination.　Amy Butler and Joel Dewberry fabric.

こちらは暖色系のコンビです。あずま袋のハギレで仕上げました。デザイナーがちがう布の組み合わせでしたが、うまくまとまったと思っています。

This one is also made from Amy Butler and Joel Dewberry.

こちらはさわやか系。同じくあずま袋の残りの生地の組み合わせ。
あずま袋を作るとき、長方形に布を裁断するので、残りもきれいに残ります。それを上手く利用すればハギレ処理にも・・・とは思っているものの、増えていくばかりの布山を見ていると現実には上手くいきませんね。とほほ。

back side

I used small piece of scrap to add accent for back side.

後ろはHome decor weightのアイボリーの生地。アクセントに表生地と同じハギレを縫い付けています。
暖色系とさわやか系、ぜんぜん違うタイプのようですが　一緒に並べてもマッチするように、同じパターンの布を１種類使っています。どれか分かりますか？暖色系のベージュとさわやか系の紺の布のパターンが同じなんですよ。Joel Dewberryの生地です。ちょっと和柄っぽいデザインですよね。
私なりのちょっとしたこだわりでした～。(これを英語で表現できたらいいのですが・・）

Here is another one! Made from Japanese fabric.
The fabric is medium weight and perfect for accent pillow.

made from Japanese fabric

size 22"

最後に、２２インチのLargeサイズのクッションカバーです。この布は春の里帰りの際、５０ｃｍで買いました。当初はバックにでも・・・と考えていましたが、外で使うとすぐに汚れそうなのでクッションカバーにしました。北欧系？のプリントかな。部屋が明るくなりますね♪

You can find them in my shop.
Thank you for visiting. Have a wonderful day!

I have just added new shoulder bag for toddler in my shop.
I bought fabric and strap adjuster when I visited to my parents in Japan.
I choose simple combination of fabric, black and white for boys.

This bag is recommended for age 3+.  You can adjust strap size as you need.
My son started to use this bag when he was 4.

I love this red fabric. It looks like polka dots, but actually it is tiny heart dots!!

Little red riding hood.

This one is for more younger age, 1 to 3 years old.
Some of this type is one sale in my shop now.

kitchen wall

Hello everyone, how are you doing?

My sewing machine started to make funny noise last week, so I had to take it to the shop to fix.
It took a week to fix it.
Fortunately the machsine was not broken, just needed to maintenance.
I got phone call from shop yesterday and now I am glad to get it back.
I finished up to make four make up rolls this afternoon. I will take pictures to upload to my shop tomorrow.

While fixing the sewing machine, I started to remove the wallpaper in my kitchen.
The wallpaper is from previous owner.
It is not dirty. But it is not my taste and I wanted to change it all the time after I moved in this house.
I thought it was good time to do it.Because I can't sewing.
There are two wallpapers. One of them is top of the cabinet.
Other one is dining area.
It is my first time to remove the wallpaper, so I decided to try to do on the cabinet.

original wallpaper

I really needed a patient....  It took time to remove.
My kitchen is not big, but I spent two days to remove it.

After removing the wallpaper, I found the wall texture is different from ceiling and other walls.
Next my job was adding wall texture from spray can. That was messy job.
Then I painted primer.
 
Finally I painted the color on the wall.
Painting was fun. But I do not like the part of removing wallpaper and adding texture.

Here is my new kitchen wall. ;)

 

The color called "mother earth " from Benjamin Moore.

I purchased it at Osh. The color looks yellow/brown.

I like how it turn out.

Oh, you can see second wallpaper in the dinning area.
I think I had to change it, but I need little break to start it.
I hate removing the wall paper.. ..
