Lippy Lou Creations

As I mentioned in this post I was commissioned to make a set of eight 50cm x 50cm zippered cushion covers out of amy butler fabrics. Since I had never made any before I bought a 50cm insert and made one for myself out of the blue coriander - my customer, curious_girl, wanted the covers to be durable so I interlined each piece with some calico for sturdiness and thickness...its the most comfy cushion we have on the sofa and we fight over it :)

Here is my blue coriander version.


This is curious_gal's set of cushion covers.


This is one of the commissioned cushion covers with my insert in - just checking the fit - I think it looks quite nice on my blue sofa....hmmm what a shame I don't have enough of this fabric left to make another one :)

In anticipation of making more commissioned pieces plus gifts I had some fabric labels printed byPurpleHug on etsy which you may be able to see sewn into the side seams of the cushions. They say Lippy Lou Designs. I have since decided I like Lippy Lou Creations better (hence the title of this blog) but the labels will do for now. I also had some mini cards printed by Moo cards and they are just the best quality!!! I'm tempted to get a whole stack more printed with something because they are just too cute! And currently I am having a logo designed for me by a company called LogoBanana who sent me an advertisment via Myspace - hopefully they come up with a cute logo for Lippy Lou Creations :)
