For months I’ve been groping this half metre of Liberty cotton. I love it, and true love waits… For an idea that is, and with my cushion obsession in full flow there was no fighting it. I came across some matt white grossgrain at which which there was plenty of and no-one would miss :) so I wanted to try my hand at piping. I’m pretty chuffed with the results, to be honest!

Considering this only cost £11 for the fabric and £1.60 for the piping cord I think it looks really swanky. There’s certainly no way my flat would have any liberty designed soft-furnishings in it if it wasn’t for my little bit of domestic sewing. Bit of advice for you kids – if you’re gonna go to uni at least learn a skill which will make living with student debt a bit easier!
