Nothing Got Done....

 

 But Cushions.... And Slippers...

I Can hardly believe it, Dear Readers, but I had a visit with my Sister for the first time in over a year! We have both been vaccinated now, and she was visiting her grandchildren who only live a couple of hours from here, so I borrowed her for a weekend overnight visit! Needless to say no minis got "worked on" but a whole lot of visiting happened and a fair amount of reviewing the mini worlds! And since Birgit has received her little cushions, I can show you the two I kept. Above is the whole project just finished with the stitching. I wanted to use as much of the silk gauze as I could manage, so I tucked the cushions into the corners, and filled the gaps with tiny slippers.  I have shown you one of the pairs of slippers already, and now I have also started to assemble another pair.

Here you can see one of them part way done. 

The lining has been added and the heel stitched together. 

Now the sole gets sewn on.

The sole is cut from an artificial suede cloth

 which you can see there in the bottom corner. 

(These are upholstery fabric samples I was given years ago.)

You will have to wait to see the pair....

They are not all finished.

But I had assembled the cushions a week or two ago....

Here is one of them with the pom-pom trim attached

 but the cushion not stuffed yet.

And the other one, before the pom-pom edging is attached.

I might have shown pictures of stitching this one a while ago.

Here they are both finished.

Here it is in The Cloud Palace...

And testing the look in Sally May's living room chair....

(I don't know where these belong yet!)

So you see, Dear Readers,

 there really is nothing new to show...

But partly finished Slippers

 and Pom-pom trimmed Cushions.
