Thanks to the end-of-the-year testing, there's not been much sewing going on after work. I don't want to get into my thoughts/feelings about end-of-grade testing... so I'll let it go at that and turn to a much more cheerful subject... a finish!
The Barrister Block pillow cover is complete and stuffed. It was hard getting the pillow form pushed into the corners but it will get better with use.
The edges are finished with regular old binding, just like a quilt. This way all the raw edges are covered so it can be washed at need.
I lined the back of the pillow cover to give it some body/strength... (three grandsons will be living with this pillow) ...as well as cover the raw edges around the zipper opening. Now, I just need to finish the other pillow cover.
You have been very thorough in the details. Nice job, Freda!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous.......a real boy- proof pillow.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous, Freda. I'm not sure any cushion is ever child-proof - or dog-proof, come to that - but you've certainly done all you can to make it that way! :o)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pillow. You did a wonderful job on both the design and construction!
ReplyDeleteLove the block. The pillow has such a fresh crisp look. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI bet it'll turn into a many toothed monster at some point. (With 3 grandboys around, maybe you should have used darker colors...LOL)
