space ~ le challenge ~ Levi's 2.0
It's time for the le challenge link again and this month's theme was space.
I have to admit to just not being able to make any of the things I had thought about for this month. Winter illness has swept through the household and it's been exhausting.
There were things that needed to be made though and I have a stack of WIPs that I want to get to, so I decided to literally make space. Instead of starting something new I pulled a project from the pile that's amassed on my desk!
I made this cushion for my sister to give to my brother in law. She gave me his old Levi's t-shirt that had a great monochrome pattern on, which happened to match beautifully with Doe by Carolyn Friedlander (you can still find some here and here).
I cut out the panel from the front of the t-shirt (I use pinking shears) then ironed some fusible interfacing on the back.
I kept it really simple, just adding some pieces either side of the t-shirt and then strips above and below.
I used a piece of wadding and a plain piece of cotton for the backing then quilted the strips using quilt as you go so it came together really quickly. The fabric is fairly busy so I didn't want to add too much with the quilting. I sort of echoed the curved shape of the Levi's logo in the strip of fabric underneath the t-shirt panel and did the same on the top strip . I used grey/white variegated perle thread.
For the backing I used a grey/mustard Intersections, Doe print and made a covered zip closure.
I hope he likes it!
