Matching chair cover and pillow

Yes, this is an IKEA chair (POÄNG, I believe) that we purchased a loooong time ago. The original fabric on it was looking tired, so I made a cover for it. 

I also wanted a little lumbar support pillow. Here is the matching pillow. 


 I wish I had bought more of this fabric. I've grown really fond of it.

Hats

This is a set of hats made based on a hat my friend really liked. She wore it for along time, and it was getting worn. So, she asked me to take it a part and make a sewing pattern for it. I did, and it turned out to be everyone's favourite hat now. 

A little decoration with different buttons. 

The pieces are ready to be sewn together. 



It is fun making hats. :)

Linen skirts

I really like wearing linen in the summer. Here are some linen skirts I made a while back. They have been modified a couple of times, but this is how they first looked like. 

The natural linen coloured fabric one is gathered at the waist and has a drawstring to further secure the skirt from falling down. I always put pockets in my skirts, and since I carry my phone, keys, etc., I need to keep the skirt up. 

The navy blue one has a waist band. Since I fluctuate in sizes in my waist, I since made a modification. It's now a split side skirt... 

And yes, both are made from linen curtain fabrics from IKEA. Cheap linen, but it's good for skirts or pants.
