Wednesday Worries: What to sew?

I bought 2.5 yards of this lovely fabric yesterday.


For our Master Bedroom and Bath with shabby chic/cottage style decor.

*Note: Bassinet is about to go.

*Note: The chair was moved to our Living Room in July, so "that's out of the picture." But that leaves a big space for something!?



I could sew a few throw pillows of course. I already have curtains I like. Not sure I could manage a proper duvet from this small piece. I just want this fabric in this room, and not just laying over the chair!

So what else could I do with it!?
> Tell me, and if I like your idea I'll sew something special just for you too!

When I get a winning idea, I'll post a tribute to you and we'll talk about the prize! So be sure I get your email address or something to contact you with.

Giveaway: Girl's Dress Apron

Enter below before Aug 31, 2012!

Dress Apron: Fits ages 7-12 years old.

This apron is my sample/practice piece made to advertise one of my current sewing projects for sale. It's not the sewn perfection of those I will sell, but it is a very nice piece. I am sewing unique dress aprons for girls to wear over their first communion, flower girl or junior bridesmaid dresses before and after the ceremony. This is a perfect gift idea as they will use it often after the ceremony as they craft and bake.

The main purpose - keep those punch spills and frosted fingers off that expensive white dress!

Fabric is 100% Cotton in robins egg blue with pattern of children praying. Matching neck tie, and white sequined waist tie. Trimmed on top with a lovely white, cotton lace. Wash warm with like colors, tumble or hang dry. Iron as needed.
SAMPLES:
