A New Craft for me.

I have took delivery of the most sumptuous material, ever since I first got married I've wanted something for my home but have never been able to find the right size or the right look.

I found the material at Terry's Fabrics and new it was just what I needed, I need to find some trim for it and I will be giving my sewing machine a whirl.

I'm not making curtains, I'm not making cushions but I am making something that my Nanna (Grandmother) used to have.

Can you guess what I'm making?

I'm dying to get started.

    I guess it's not a pin cushion as there seems to be too much material lol. Is it a table runner?

    I would guess a fringed table cloth, my Nana used to have one, I can just see it now in my mind's eye. Ahhh.... childhood memories.

    I would think maybe a complete cover for an ottoman, as I remember my grandmother had one exactly this color with a trim down the bottom, which she threw over the ottoman, when they expected guest in the house, as my granddad always laid on this sofa for his lunchnap every day , and she was always soo mad, it didn´t look fine enough, when guests popped in, so she made this cover for it, and it looks exactly like this.
