The idea from Elisabeth from Jagsthausen:
Good morning! I want a spring outfit for my sofa cushions. For this I would like to have 4 square cushion covers and 2 rectangular ones. I'd like the zippered covers.
We can do that. Best regards Elisabeth Pfennig, Jagsthausen in sunny southern Germany.

Hallo Hannah,
The cases for the cushions are really beautiful, everything is okay. The parcel received this morning and due the general crises with corona I did not expect any delivery within next weeks. Therefore I am very thankful and lucky about the parcel.I hope you can still go on with your handcraft and that you have not to lock down your business.
You really met all the requests in perfect way and I am satisfied with your handcraft. It is not the last time, that I will order goods on that way. I wish you the best. Kind regards Elisabeth

Hello Elisabeth, I would like to offer my services.

Hello Elisabeth
I’d love to make an offer for your idea. For the spring theme you like, do you have any specific colours in mind. I’ve attached a sample photo of an orange cotton cover mixed with patches of Ankara fabric to make the cushions pop. Would you like something similar perhaps ? Also what are your preferred measurements for the covers ?

Good morning Hannah,
Many thanks for your reply. I am pleased that you will sew the requested pillow cases. I enclose a photo of Design which I like. I love circles, dots and something else and I ike also the colours green, yellow, white, and grey. Maybe you can find a cloth similar to these colours. Four pillow cases should have the following dimensions: 36 × 36cm each and two pillow cases should be 44 × 22cm, each! The four should have the same design and the smaller one should be all one colour, for example yellow. I am looking forward to your proposal and many greetings to Nairobi.
Elisabeth
P.S. I dont need the pillow filling!

Hello Hannah,
Sorry that I am a little late with my new answer. I enclose also a drawing, the small case is okay, the bigger one should be solid cloth, no patches on the case. Both cases should have a zipper. Is it correct that one case will cost €56,50?

I hope I am not to complicated. Sorry for that.
Many greetings
Hannah Njenga 13 Feb 2020 3:10 pm
Good evening Elisabeth, no need for apologies, the clarification is not complicated, it's welcome, thank you. No patch work just solid upholstery fabric, patterned for the small ones and plain colour for the big ones. All should also have zippers. I understand. Also €56.50 is the total cost for the whole job.
Have a good evening Lisa😊

Good evening Elisabeth, here is the fabric I got. The pictures aren't very clear but it's a nice yolk yellow for the big ones and lime green dots on the grey and white patterned fabric. Included are also images of the cut fabric and sewing process. I've finished one yellow and one patterned pillow case. The rest will be completed by Tomorrow evening ready for shipping
