Sewing is supposed to be relaxing and stress free, isn't it?!


I've been lucky enough to meet and become friends with Emily from CoQuelicot Designs. I have to admit I've got a couple (plus a couple more!) pieces of furniture that she's created! All of her furniture is preloved and then with Emily's guidance it's turned into something gorgeous and new. Emily has entrusted me with a very important job of sewing the cushions that her customers purchase to go with their awesome new chairs. Normally I find sewing quite enjoyable, relaxing and stress free. I have to admit that I might have best not knowing how much the above blue fabric cost per yard. I often baulk at paying $20+ per metre for fabric. This one surpassed that by miles!! 

This was definitely one of those ones that I needed to measure 300000000 times before cutting into it. Emily had given me about 2" more than what was needed to make this gorgeous cushion! 

It's been great to have deadlines (sort of!) and a reason to get into my sewing without me having to get organised and unpack my sewing room!!! 

How much was the most expensive fabric per yard that you've cut into? Did it scare you too? 
(This one was $250 p/yard!!!)
