I bought some old 'Marie Claire Idées' magazines. It's a magazine with a lot of idees to decorate your home, to make handmade presents, to knit, to crochet........
I'll show you some.....
These colorful pillow covers are made from crocheted squares and triangles, sewed together and then there were sewed circles or flowers on it. I think even without pattern this is easy to make .
Do ou have an old tablecloth that you don't like anymore, sew some yo-yo's or crocheted flowers along the bottom .....
These decorations are easy to make, you could use all kinds of paper (I made some with origami paper) . You put several papers together as much as your sewing machine can handle , you draw the form you want and then sew in the middle , cut on the drawing lines and glue a thread in between and........finished. If your sewing machine cannot handle a lot of paper, you make two and glue them together.
Very nice in the christmastree or as an anniversary garland!
Hello Baukje, I am catching after being gone from blogging awhile. OH, how I love looking at your beautiful blog and all your lovely posts. Your Yoko Saito Bouquet blocks are all truly lovely as is the quilt. Your granny square pouch is very neat. Hugs Judy
