Tutorial for a baby/toddler bolster..


I am happy to say that i have finally completed a tutorial for this little bolster to share with fellow friends.Special features are a piping and a zipper closure.



You will need these fabrics:





You can  start affixing the zip :                                                                 



Next,prepare the cording/piping .

      There is a nice video on how to sew with piping here



You can now attach borders on both sides.






You now need to prepare the small cirle fabrics to attach on both end sides of the boster..In my case i have used the stripe blue fabric.




The fabric circle measures 4.5 inch diameter.You need to draw an inner circle of 2.5 inch diameter.Then attach
 the border at this marked  line,like the pic below..






Voila!....you have successfully completed the baby bolster..



ALHAMDULLILAH...do try this again and again till perfection..all the best..!!!

Its a GOLD week...

This order comes from a lady who is marrying off her daughter in early december..The color scheme is gold.My whole week has been taken up working on this gold lace and satin.The bed skirt is finally done and ready..





This set consist of a bed skirt in king size,4 pillow covers,one bed runner and 3 scatter cusions....Amount of materials utilized is 20 meters..

And coincidently,another customer unrelated to the above also ordered a light gold curtain material for her table top.The ready table cover measures 7 ft x 3.5 ft.The top is quilted ,with box pleat frills and the ready set weights as heavy as a queen comforter..Phew.....









Any idea how to fold this heavyweight like a tonne table cover without leaving creases on the fold...???

Have a well rested weekend friends and thanx for dropping by...
