I have beautiful material which I got from my sister-in-law.
It's actually original "Amish" material from America, which is so lovely and soft - its quite difficult to describe it correctly but is almost of a very rich soft pile velvety feel :confused
I have no idea what to make with it apart from the usual cushion covers or throws, of which, between myself and my mother-in-law I have more than plenty of !
The colours are just so rich (deep greens and reds and very pale beige, with different "house" designs on some parts) that I would really love to make something a wee bit different and unusual. I also sew by hand, as I don't have a sewing machine.
Any ideas would be welcome ??
