Framing my favourite fabric …a diy idea

This week I have been busy decluttering  and streamlining my sewing room.

So this weekend, with lots of help from the talented other half…(toh)

We  added some finishing touches…

Firstly I have been deciding on what colours to have my old frames sprayed.

Secondly I have been deciding on what fabrics to put in the frames that will be displayed on the walls of my freshly de-cluttered sewing room.

As you  can see, for my part of this project I contributed an awful lot of decisions

First, the colours: I wanted fresh, bright retro and nursery nostalgia! all together….

My toh came home with frames painted in exactly the right shades.

Next I chose the fabrics to contrast or match with the frames.

Finally I needed a framer…

Not because I can’t do it oh no …. its because I am a ‘slap dash, rush around chatterer’ 

he on the other hand 

is a ‘calm as a rock, perfectionist’

I pointed a lot then cut a few out, the toh did everything else…

Together we make a team

Retro…

….and nursery nostalgia…

Lamb chop and Noddy…

Here is a very tiny peep at a group shot.

I think you get the idea?

It was sunshine sunshine the whole weekend….even the dog helped, 

he rounded up his toys and fell asleep under the table……

I will do a sewing room post very soon…promise!

…just a few more bits to do…

bestest wishes to you all from sunny Dorset!
