Box cushions and frustration!

Beyond cross with myself. I have just finished a clients order only to realise I have to unpick 2 cushions as the zips are in the wrong place!! Pipped box cushions for a leather sofa!! The cushions are now in tweed. The 2 in question are shaped in one corner. For some reason that I don't understand , call it brain freeze, I "assumed" the rounded corners were going at the front. Just checked the original covers and yes the rounded corners are at the back. Now I get to find out how well I stitched them. Unfortunately too well. shouldn't have done them 3 times around I guess. Rant over thanks for listening.

:-( I sympathize, I hate unpicking. I think I have sewed every seam in a shirt I am making at least twice.

Done , phew they ripped out more quickly than I had hoped. Let that be a lesson to me.

I felt your pain and frustration but glad the unpicking went quickly.

Client came and took them away today and she didn't notice anything about them Horray. She dropped me another three!

I will be glad when this is done as I have a lot of stock to do for my big Spring Flower Market at the end of April. I have a list on the wall of the items I need/ wish to have for this stall, but only 2 items are crossed off as fully completed; Flower bibs and Tutus.

2 items on the list have yet to be cut out ( Rompers & Tie shoulder dresses) and I still have a part box of reversible dresses and a part box of aprons to sew up. 3 weeks to go. Stressed me????

Update. The next lot of cushions are under starters orders but not as nice as the last one which were done in a new tweed fabric. These are to be done from two old sofa throws which despite being washed still have a strange smell. washing hands between work bursts!! Yuk.

When next they're at a stage where they can stand washing, consider adding some borax, sodium borate dodecahydrate, to the wash. It's my go-to laundry destinker, suitable for gym clothes, cat accidents, eau de wet dog, and other strange smells.

****** And I also like to put a cup of vinegar in the rinse water. The vinegar smell goes away once the cloth is dry. This works for me. Barbara
