And has she at least got a bucket and spade?   :o
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

@Iminei yes it was me,  this is the thread https://thesewingplace.org.uk/index.php/topic,13695.0.html
I decide it was too Diane is back in the said box.   She says with dunce’s cap on

I am so sorry @Diane  it is supposed to read,’ I decided it was too difficult and it’s back in the box, she says with dunces cap on.” 

 Not too sure where my spell checker or whatever picked up your name and decided to play with it, serves me right for not reading before posting

 I must say it gave me a good laugh when I saw this though which I needed this afternoon.

Why not applique the scene ??

You have the fabrics; It would be easy to trace out the elements, adding a 'seam' allowance where needed to overlap  ... a lil heat'n'bond and a blanket, zigzag or straight stitch and you'd be on your way.

If I can take This and make This you can do that.

Its wonderfully absorbing.

I know it's been a while but i've finally finished my cushion  :dance: The piping that i had ordered off etsy arrived yesterday and it looked like it had been steam rollered  :S, said to myself after all the effort and work that's gone into this cushion, i wasn't using it. This morning i dug out some piping cord, found a long strip of purple binding and made my own flanged piping.....easy peasy  :laughing: should have done it earlier. I done an envelope back out of some vibrant batik and hey presto.....here it is, I will add two buttons on the back flap, need to order some first.

Thankyou @Silver Rose I enjoyed making it and it's lovely looking across at the chair and seeing a colourful cushion instead of a plain green one.

Wow @Diane that is stunning  :perfect10:

As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could,  I thought I could."
