Coffee Sacks

If I can't be sewing this week then I can at
least be dreaming about it...Ha Ha...
These are my awesome printed coffee sacks that I have
 managed to source from one of the local coffee shops, I am
going to cut them up and construct them into some exterior
soft furnishings for my back patio/pergola area....
This vintage cot was a thrifty find and is going to be a
daybed/seat eventually and I plan to make up some
unique cushions for it...
I am on the hunt for an old cot mattress at the moment to use
 for the seating cushion, I did price some foam from the foam
 shop but may have to take out a second mortgage on the
house to afford it so I will have to be thrifty in my search
for something a tad cheaper....
I couldn't resist this cute cushion when I saw it in my
 local Kmart the other day, perfect for a dreamer like me.....
Until next time, Happy Stitching Dreaming

Hello Kate,

Our children all slept in a cot like that, got it from a family friend and repainted it several times according to the child. Look up some of the baby swap sites on the net, you will most likely find a mattress for the cot.
Have fun with the cushion making.

Happy days.
Bev.
