beautiful fabric

I bought some gorgeous fabric from a closing down sale last summer. The idea was to make a skirt for myself out of it... but the first thing that ended up being made was a cushion cover. I went to stay with my sister in Crediton for a few days and attended her sewing class with her. Here is the result.

I used wonder web to stick the applique hearts on before using zigzag stitch to secure them in place. I re-used an old red skirt for the back panel and the hearts.

And there was still enough fabric left over to make my skirt!
