Ta daaaaa ....... my very first cushion cover!

Well, I havn't made an awful lot of progress on my to-do list, but I did finish my cushion cover, and here it is............................

Excuse the photo - it's not the best.
I really love it, and it was so easy to make.
Measuring and cutting out the patches was the hardest part (I find it very hard to cut fabric in a straight line - any tips much appreciated!).
I did an envelope back which was simple - no buttons or zips (the thought of which  scare me to death!) and I just want to make more now!

To-do list

I have a never-ending list in my mind of all the things I want to make, and very few of them actually get made. So, I thought I would write down my list here (a realistic version) - might help if it is in black and white.
I've got half term next week and although I've got two energetic boys to keep me busy I am determined to set aside some crafting time.
So here's my list:

Tutu for my niece's 4th birthday in March - better get a move on then!
I'm using this fab tutorial and have all the materials ready and waiting - just need to make a start.

Patchwork cushion cover for large floor cushion that desperately needs re-covering. I've just ordered this and this - never made a cushion cover before so should be interesting. And quite exciting!

A granny square blanket for the sofa - just ordered some wool for this, this will be an ongoing project I think.

A photo/collage frame for my brother and sister-in-law to be's wedding in May. Can't say more in case they read this.................

Grey linen trousers for my boys to wear to the above wedding.

I'm aiming to get two of those things done next week (tutu and cushion cover), and will keep you posted ...........................
