well, since the main intention of this blog is to showcase my works in progress i decided to finally post a few. 
at the moment, i am halfway finished with this sari bedspread…
sari bedspread
i recently redid our bedroom. it’s very small and was once a deep red color. we had so much clutter that i was beginning to feel like cave so we decided to go yellow! of course i had to keep in with the indian style and i bought this amazing book called ‘alter your space‘ and used that as a guide. i had such a hard time choosing a trim color. in fact i painted and repainted the trim about 5 times when finally i revisited the book and saw this beautiful turquoise adorning a wall. i knew it would be dramatic but i went for it.
i decided to also make my own matching sari duvet cover. it seemed like a simple enough project to execute, but it’s ALOT of fabric to deal with. seriously!
first i cut two sari’s and sewed them together and bought mid-weight fusible. just ironing on the fusible made me want to give up! when i spread it on our bed though, even in it’s unfinished wrinkled state, i was totally in love!
