Colourful Cushions


The sewing machine has been working overtime lately, I've had a few orders through friends to make cushions. I'm brushing up on my piping making skills and sitting up late at night assembling these pretty things. What's not to love about these Marimekko fabrics? so nice to work with.






And this Designers Guild fabric, these were pieced using offcuts from blinds, sewing the strips together is a great way to use up the scraps, with soft denim for the backing makes for perfect playroom cushions.




I still have orders in the pipeline before I can tackle some for me but I'm getting there.

  2. I've never tried piping! It's one of those things that's just a little bit scary!

  6. The second set is my fave! You did a marvellous-yes marvellous- job! The piping is super, I agree with Mel, they look very professional-unlike the cushion I whipped up this morning.

  8. Wow, love these!! The piping looks fantastic - I wish I knew how to do that as it adds such a 'finished off' look to cushions :)
