Pimp my vest…
I found a small hole recently on one of our duvet covers. Superking pure cotton duvet covers aren’t cheap so I decided to repair it. As the duvet cover is a solid lilac colour I chose a scrap of a pretty purple floral fabric. Using the hearts die for my Accuquilt I applied bondaweb to the fabric before cutting the shapes out, ironed the shapes onto the duvet cover and then sewed around them with my sewing machine.

And just to demonstrate that there is also some knitting going on here’s a photo of my latest project just before it was finished. It’s currently blocking and I’ll share more details when it’s dry and photographed….

>The appliqued hearts are so pretty! they look lovely on the vests and are a great way to add some sparkle to a plain duvet cover – as well as a clever way to mend it
