What happened to Bomull?

Which is the Ikea coverlet, as you all obviously know. As a cheap piece of fabric of immerse qualities it ended up as a bathrobe that we just needed in the family one day. Here it is:


And continuing in the Scandinavian manner, this little bag made out of the remaining fabric has been embroidered in this sort of folkish style dashed by Cilla Ramneck's designs for her book which (for me) has an incantation in the place of the title: Sticka Virka!

Great ideas once again!

One of my Ikea bed-covers combined with an old quilt once turned into chair cushions and a table cover for our garden furniture.

That is a great little bag...I love the embroidery on it.

I am glad you liked it, I started to feel little insecure about these two things, no comment for a few days... Ha, ha, I thought I just needed to put up things on blog to have them finished, but seems that any respond to it does good to me inevitably.
