Patchwork blanket made from old sheets


A "New" Blanket


Finally completed the patchwork blanket made from old favorite bedsheets , pillow covers & bolster covers!! Took me almost 3 months, a project which I started in August. Fortunately I managed to complete in 2014! ;) 

I started with this old bedsheet. It was one of my favourite. 



I try to cut out as many prints in big squares ( 10" x 10" ) like below.


Then, arranged the prints to have a feel of the final product. 


Once I'm statisfied with the arrangement, I stitched them to form a big rectangular.

Likewise for the back piece made from bolter & pillow covers. They are easier as the pieces were bigger!! 


Stitched the 2 pieces together, I get "new" blanket!! 

Mission accomplished!!!

Baby booties

I started to get into sewing in July 2014. Made these booties to surprise a friend who just gave birth to a baby girl in a August 2014. These are the first few pairs of "shoes" to start with! They are on their way & I hope that they will reach you soon!!!


Mary Jane, with reversable prints.. To match with any clothing her mommy chooses. 


Colorful booties. 


Polka dots! This is my favourite pair!  One can never go wrong with black & red shoes.
