Good morning and welcome to my workdesk. The paper crafting has been pushed to one side for a while to make way for some sewing I have been doing. I am making monogrammed cushion covers.
Please pop over to What’s on your Workdesk Wednesday and have a peak at some more workdesks – it’s great fun!

Fantastic idea Sue - I'm sure these kits would sell very well. Hope Sophia is better soon xx
I think they're absolutely gorgeous and must contain a king's ransom's worth of buttons! Poor Sophia, am sure she will be very cheered with a lovely cushion gift.
The cover is gorgeous and I'm sure they would sell well:)
First of all I love the new look of the blog, The chevron and the blue and orange are just fab :D
The covers look great and just the thing to brighten a room up, I think they would do well on Etsy. xxx
I have to say I really like your WOYWW posts, I might just join in one day! xxx
love the cushion and love buttons even more I think selling them would be a great idea I would purchase one as like may people dont have the skills to make it myself have a wonderful week Andrea x
Oh wow, Sue, your cushion covers are fabulous! What a great idea!
I suck at fabric crafts so am in awe of anyone who can create stuff like this. :lol:

Love the cushion cover with all those scrumptious buttons. Happy WOYWW BJ#52.
Wow - that's gorgeous. I LOVE the buttons xx
Gorgeous is what I think! That is one huge number of pink buttons...!! Helen 7
Wow to the cushion cover, we've never looked at etsy but your kit idea sounds fab. Smiley pot looks very pleased with your work! ;)

Wow! I made button hearts a couple of years ago and that did my fingers in, or do you glue them on?
I've also made cards with button hearts or Christmas trees on.
They certainly would sell but I doubt you'd make much profit as buttons can be so expensive to buy, also you can never charge enough to cover your time. However, if you sold them as a kit then the person buying it would be spending their time!
Good luck

Good luck
What a great idea, I really do think they will sell well. Good for you! and I am sure this will cheer Sophia up no end, chicken pox is so horribly itchy, it makes them really miserable, doesn't it?Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #73 xx
I wish i had the patience to learn how to use a sewing machine.....
That's a lot of buttons but very pretty colours. Good luck with selling the kits if that's what you decide to do.
Love that pillow - I have SO MANY buttons LOL! If I could make the whole background from ribbons I might make a dent! LOVE that layout too, very cool. Must mentally file it away for the next crop.
Happy WOYWW

Great cushion. Good luck with Etsy - daughter M hasn't been very successful - I guess you need to promote your wares more than she does. x Jo #49

I love this cushion & am sure Sophia will adore it. Hope shes soon better, poor itchy thing. I enjoyed doing my button union jack for my diamond jubilee bag. Is this blog different, it looks nice if it is. Don't make Jan a cushion, all those buttons!!

That is so gorgoeus with all those wonderful buttons. Thanks for sharing. Caro #46
Chicken pox are horrible. Poor thing.

So pretty Sue x
Clapping furiously here - well of course I'd be in love with this!!! Hugs, Jenny (Buttons) #35
beautiful cushion. great idea to make them as kits!
Wow, you must have patience to spare sewing all those buttons on!! I've never seen so many but the effect is gorgeous, very decadent and girly! I'm sure Sophia will adore it, hope she feels better very soon :)
Hugs, LLJ 38 xxx
love your use of buttons. A kit sounds like a good idea but won't they be very expensive with all those buttons. Have you seen the new pack from Design objectives... a big bag in pretty pastel colours 100's in a bag for £2,99
good luck

That cushion cover is gorgeous. I think that the kits would sell well, or you could make some as finished products.
Love your woodland walk page from the previous post too. It is nice to see more LOs.
thanks for popping by earlier

I think kits would be amazing, great for people who want to craft but feel insecure or don't know where to start. Or who want to try something new. This you so much for visiting, I really appreciate it,
Cheers,
Rachel
I think selling the covers will be a hit. Hope she gets better soon, chicken pox is really not nice.
Happy belated WOYWW!

Gorgeous cushion, Sophie will love it I'm sure.
Making others to sell in your etsy store is a great idea.
Beautiful cushions, and I am sure they would sell well. I also love what you have done with that photo in your previous post. Thank you for your encouraging visit this week. xx Maggie #32
What a gorgeous cushion cover! Love all the buttons, must have taken ages! Would definitely work as a kit I you supplied buttons - mine all seem to be boring colours!
Happy WOYWW & thanks for stopping by

What a great idea to do a monogram. I have all these buttons that I inherited from my wife's grandmother, but I don't think I'd have the patience to sew that many. Blessings!
great cushion cover with all those bright buttons...love it! Sorry I am so late getting around but life definitely reared its head and got in my way! Hope your week has gone well and you have been able to do some crafting. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. Vickie #31
Live the cushion cover my daughter would love it ! Sorry I'm late visiting I sat in bed and done all my visits this morning only to discover they were last weeks !!!
