I had a good mail day last week, some pretty cath kidston fabric off ebay, which I plan to use for cushions, as well as the Autumn Cath Kidston catalogue.
As you can see I ‘heart’ quite a few things! So I made a deal, it’s called incentivised savings: I scrupulously save for the month of September and once my goal is reached only then I can put an order in. I think it might work such is the lure of all those pretty things! In the meantime I need to learn how to put in zips for my cushions…

Cool idea Catherine, I love your savings plan! As for zips, trust me, I had major zip fear for a long time but it was so much easier than you expect. I'll see if I can dig out the link I used, it's somewhere on my blog. Course you could always use a cute button fastening! :)
Oh those heart tabs are sweet!
I've been avoiding zips in sewing my bags and cushions. For me, i think it's the unpicking that's daunting the bit because i'm bound to stuff it up several times before i ever get it right.
Can't wait to see your cushions when they're finish - maybe on your lovely white couch?
Your savings plan sounds great :)
Zippers...i struggled with that for so long and then took a class and now I practically do it with my eyes shut. I wish we were closer and I could show you how.
Hello! The fabric is lovely Catherine...looking forward to seeing the finished cushions!
Good idea. If I had that catalogue it would be jam-packed with hearts as well :)
How is shipping to Aus?
I am happy to show you how to put zippers in. Once I even managed to get pipping AND a zipper in neatly!!
Ahhhh...I love your idea...So much fun looking through her new catalogue and dreaming...good luck with your saving...just think of all those lovely things!
Ooo, your savings plan is quite courageous! I'd be sure to fail within a week. It seems like a fair trade though, since in the end you'll treat yourself to some lovely Cath goodies!
Hope your saving goes well! :)
