Cushions

Since I started doing market stalls people

are always asking 

" Do you make Cushions?"

I have always said 

NO

Cushions to me have been something

I just did not want to do.

Also finding big enough pieces of blanket with no marks or stains is not always easy.

Earlier this year I made Master O a cushion.....................

 and much to

my surprise I enjoyed doing it.

So I ordered a load of books from the library on cushion making.

Studied up and here are some of my first efforts.

I did large Hydrangeas in different shades on recycled

cream blanket. 

The leaves are all sewing machined on.

The petals are all hand sewn on.

I have hand dyed all the felt myself.

With these cushions I did not do a zip opening.

They are decorative cushions and not designed to be washed.

They would really need to be sponged clean should they get

any marks on them.

I am now working on another range of cushions and these have zip openings.

I found this tutorial to be the absolute best for teaching me how to do a

perfect zip opening.

These cushions are now in my Felt store.
