FO: Burton’s bassinette set

On By wanderingcatyarns

By Sunday at noon, I had accomplished a good amount of work in the garden, so I decided to treat myself to an afternoon of sewing in the studio.

The first thing I needed to get out of the way was Burton’s bassinette mattress and pillow. I’d picked up a piece of foam from Walmart last week, so it was just a matter of cutting it to size, and sewing a casing for it and the little pillow.

This was fabric I’d ordered from Spoonflower with the intention to make pillows. I was a little disappointed with the quality of the printing, as it’s a little blurry – not crisp at all. But I didn’t think Burton would mind.

We’ve got the bassinette in the corner of the livingroom right now, and the fabric goes quite well with colours in there.

But of course, Burton is the true judge of the final project.

“It’s much squishier than it was before!!!”

“Ok. I like this!!!

“Okay…. yeah….this is goooood.”

Of course….. now Lemmy wants to know when he gets something cool from the thrift store…

Don’t feel too sorry for him – he’s mostly taken over the chaise.
