Blog IS•LY | I Still Love you | Art, Sewing, Design, Bookbinding, Photography, Crafts Pink and Gray Nursery Art for Baby Girl Large Flower by Amborela Mildly Crafty: Cushion cover tutorial ETA: I made some more of these and revised a couple of things here. I made these cushion covers and liked em so much I wrote down the steps in case anyone else is interested. Some of the photos have "notes" on them in Flickr so click on them to see the notes. Start by cutting out your fabric. Overlock (serger) the edges. Put your front and back pieces right sides together. Draw a line 2cm from the bottom edge of your cover (the zip will go in this edge). Put a mark 8cm from each edge. Now we're going to sew along this line and then unpick part of it after we've put the zip in. Using your normal stitch length sew from the edge to the first mark 8cm along. Stitch backwards for 3 or 4 stitches and then forwards to the mark again. Change your stitch length to the longest you have and continue sewing to the next mark 8cm from the other edge. Change your stitch length back to your usual setting and sew forwards 3 or 4 stitches then back to the marker and then forwards again to the end of the fabric.

When you see another woman madly in love and being adored by her partner, does your heart squeeze painfully as you hide your own desperate need to be met? How many more unfulfilling and uninspiring dates will you need to go on before you finally ‘strike gold’? May be you have found someone you really enjoy, but have no clue how to ‘keep them interested’? Whatever your relationship issues are, there is one fundamental flaw in how most women approach partnership: We behave like drive-thru. The following is a story told by the Wintu Tribal Elders of California: How The Female Eagle Chooses Her Mate When it comes time for the female Eagle to choose her mate, she prepares herself for many suitors. She looks them over quite well and then picks one to fly with for awhile. If she likes the way he flies she finds a small stick, picks it up and flies high with it. Why do we do this?
