My sewing machine had been repaired! And i just cant wait to try and sew something as soon as we arrived home :)
This what i made last night.
My rattan couch cushion cover.
:: After ::
:: Before ::
This rattan couch is a very old couch, my hubby's family bought since 80's. The previous cushion is much more decrepit and we bought new cushion (which came together with the blue cover) for it last year. The quality of the blue cover is not very good, using a very light cotton fabric. And i dont really like the super-bright color and pattern. So, i changed it.

After some arguing and considerations between my hubby and I at the fabric store, we end up buying this dark blue-greyish stripe home deco fabric. We both like it :)
I draft the pattern and come out with a template.

This is how i sew the zipper ::
Conclusion: I'm planning to buy a new cool L-shape sofa in the future when our financial permitted. But for now... both hubby and I still love our new-look couch :)
