after this life changing event last November Miss M decided on her room makeover. Since Christmas we have been slowly working on it, first deciding and ordering fabrics, painting, artworks and final touches to come up with this..

(sorry its a small room and I don’t have a wide angled lens so its in bits)

only 4 paint sample pots, one pot for the walls and about 7 half metre cuts of fabric. We painted all of her furniture using the paint pots (colours chosen from the fabrics). First the main quilt was made and then leftovers were used for the stretched canvas’s, the window treatment and some cushions. Molly also used the paints to paint her very own original set of artworks..

The quilt was a very simple design, quick and simple to make – no precise patchwork skills required. We have written it up as a MissM pattern and called it ‘Born dotty’

Born Dotty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

now she just has to keep it looking perfect – how do you teach a teenager to have a clean room!!!!! any tips gratefully accepted.

Meeting Amy really seemed to be a pivoting point for Molly, she is suddenly aware of and inspired by art, colour, design, fashion and life around her. I don’t know that she will go on to do anything with sewing but I can be a proud mum for now, at least with the knowledge she should be able to sew a button on later in life.

back to my to do list now…. no rest for a market goer here

hugs

Helen

oh, head on over to Molly’s blog for a chance to win one of her Born Dotty patterns.
