I learnt a lot, making the bedspreads. Not least, sewing from the right direction so that the bulky fabric was to the left of the machine and didn't have to be shoved through the arch of the sewing machine. Duh, I know.
Do you want to see the inside of the cover? The top consists of two layers, sandwiching the raw edges of the frill, which keeps it neat:
I like them just the way they are! A pretty throw folded at the bottom of the bed would give a splash of color, if that's what you're looking for.

Clever with words, clever with hands, clever with ideas!!! Phew, you are awesome 😍💗🌹💗
ReplyDeleteThey look wonderful!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, they make the beds look very neat and tidy. We are under down quilts so our beds look lumpy. You could add a lap quilt for a pop of color.
