All Done #4 June

All of my Cath Kidston Provence Rose has gone. Every last scrap. I bought it when I was on maternity leave after having Little M, four years ago, it was expensive but we had just had a new kitchen extension and I looked everywhere for curtains that would finish it off. In the end I bought 7 metres of this - it felt expensive but I really liked it and knew it wouldn't go out of fashion.

 So what did I make with 7 metres...
 


  

     

I made two pairs of door curtains, one for the french doors and one for the utility side room. 1 simple blind, 2 seat covers (now worn out) 4 placemats with feature pieces, a pump bag motif and a patchwork shopper.

I am 'All done #4' with Provence Rose. 
Are you using new or leftovers in your crafting this weekend? Jo xx

Sorry folks, just realised I have missed off the girl's hat I was making today which inspired this post in the first place because it used up the very last bits! Honesty, that's the sort of week I am having.. and a hat.

    Im using new. I bought some new green yarn for a nice big comfy sweater that I'm knitting for myself. Can't wait to try it on. Your curtains look great, both pairs. Looks like you got really good use out of this fabric :)

    I'm using new, but small leftovers to make baby bibs for a craft fair to raise money for a local hospice. I love the fabric you used, I still have some leftover from another project. I really liked the idea of the placemats. Have a great weekend.

    Great hat! I love that fabric too - still have some leftovers in my stash from a cushion cover I made a few years ago. Love your curtains especially :-)
    Happy weekend,

    Love your crafting for the home. I've just bought 3 pairs of curtains from my local charity shop, will be turning them into something soon.

    Awesome Jo! Love the curtains, wish I could get my partner to like or just be neutral to pretty things but he'd definitely say 'nope!' The hat is brilliant though, is it your own design?

    I've been following your mantra of 'use it all'; I made a dress out of a tshirt (to be blogged) and a headband with the scraps :D

    Wow, you certainly made lots with your lovely fabric! I don't think that you could have made any nicer things or made any better use of the fabric. Great job! xx

    Well you made that piece of fabric stretch a really long way! It's one of the nicest patterns CK did, I think. Do yarn and fabric scraps really bother you? They do me, a bit. I like to keep them organised and labelled even if I don't use them up right away. I tend to buy fabric in small amounts and now have a drawer bursting with scraps. I'm thinking a hexie quilt will help use some up. Love the blind best of all - the bobble trim is great. x

    That hat is amazing, you are so clever and I love how you use every last piece! I really like the blinds too, and the curtains. Provence Rose is my favourite fabric by Cath Kidston, it is just so pretty. :)
