Ikea Inspiration

Niki and I went to Ikea today and mostly managed to stick to the shopping list, but did get tempted by this lidded mug


It was only after we got home that I wondered if I could replace the decoration with something else - wish now that I'd bought loads more!

I used the existing decoration as a template - folding it into 8ths to save having to do any maths for the angles

 

Then I transferred those marks onto stabiliser

 

And stitched fabrics on using the lines


Quilted and trimmed


And into the mug

 

Got to love Ikea!

    very good transformation like you I am an Ikea fan, so lucky to have one not too far away and easy to get to on the bus or should I say buses as it takes 2.

    Hmmm.....so how are you going to work out the angles for making ones personalised with embroidery?!? I guess that you could just stitch out along one of the lines that on this one you used for seams!
