Rustic Chair Pads

My kitchen chair pads needed new covers for a long time.
I took two orphans from my pattern testing blocks box and decided to give them life as tops for the new chair pad covers. A few pieces of red fabric and two zippers helped me to make two of the most cheerful reasons to like the time I spend in my kitchen.

No quilting, no batting. Only the good old patchwork.

And as the beauty is in the imperfection, it does not bother me that the red-white little squares of the gingham pieces of fabric do not match each other.

The name of the block I used is Country Home. Easy and quick to make.

How about you? Do you plan to sew something new for your home this year?

Heave a lot of beautiful sewing days, my dears!

A touch of rustic in my home

Do you remember these?
Well, I finished them.

I chose my kitchen wood chairs ( these ones for my over-the-pond-friends and these ones for my-fellow-citizens) and embellished them with only a few painted little flowers because I knew that I will always wear them in rustic clothes. Or at list, somewhere around this style.
 When I cut out the shirt for the apron I saved the shirt seams without having something in mind. Now it was good to have them on hand because I used them as strings to keep my pads in place.

I felt that there was no need to quilting them.

 

I like them just the way they are.

Have a beautiful day, my dears!
