    Also bought the material for the conservatory cushions.
    So pleased with that.
    May take a while for them to be made but at least it is bought and bang on budget too :j :j

    Well done Beanie :). For a minute I thought you were building a wall one brick a day, then the penny dropped (sort of).

    inod~~I have bought the material & a friend is making the new covers.
    Not sure when though!
    & I had budgeted £20 for material & as I got it in a sale that was exactly what it cost :)

    Happy cushion making :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
