Bye bye January! Hello February! After a very long month of weekends in and no vino passing my lips, tonight I am coming out of my hermit hole and having all my friends round to the flat for drinks and some good ol' party tunes. Seating is always a problem at house parties, especially when you have a little 1 bedroom flat, and so last weekend I managed to rope my boyfriend in to helping me make some cute and very comfy seat covers for our kitchen seats (I made white chocolate and raspberry blondies in return!).
We found some brand new, thick thick cream cotton seat covers in a charity shop recently and I thought it would be the perfect little project to spruce them up for the kitchen. After a trip to the material shop in town to pick up a couple of scraps of kitchen-y fabric (red checks and green checks, one for each seat), a good few hours of sewing and stuffed with a couple of squishy feather cushions, we now have some cheerier looking (and less bum numbing) kitchen seats!

I'm thinking about buying a sewing machine but have no idea where to start. Anyone have any recommendations? Obviously all I want is a vintage Singer sewing machine but maybe that would be better for decoration!
Happy Saturday...!
