Going Postal

I'm very partial to postage ephemera and I've started quite a collection for my paper-craft.  Imagine then, how excited I was to find some 'just arrived' decorator weight postage fabric at my local Spotlight.

I diss Spotlight most of the time in favour of Potter Textiles as they have up-to-the-minute stuff that local designers are using whereas Spotlight rarely has anything that I'm particularly looking for.  And I'm always looking for something in particular!  But...this time Spotlight came through with some good buys!

So, back to the postal fabric.  I immediately thought a bit of striped flat piping would go well and luckily had exactly the right colour.  I whipped some up and made a quick and easy zipped cushion.  I hope to sell this one and others like it for about 30-40AUD at some local markets

I'm not a piping superhero either but didn't do too badly with this project.  Practice makes perfect!
