I finished the cushion this afternoon. Apart from toing and froing to the garage for the car to have its MOT, and a bit of shopping in Lidl, I've spent most of the day stitching, by hand, and with the machine . I altered 3 pairs of trousers aswell as doing the cushion.
I reused the piping that was around the duvet cover I used to make the curtains in our caravan bedroom, which saved me the job of making my own. Everything else is thrifted... old wool blanket, felt and embroidery thread.
I'm happy with how it looks, and even happier that it's finished. I'll take it to the caravan this weekend...
Over 12 years on since I made the green one, I now have a cream one... I like how they look together, even if the cream one does have an extra flower!
You do such a lovely thing with decorating using your various skills.
ReplyDeleteThanks SAM. I hadn't done anything creative for such a long time, so really enjoyed it. There's now a bathroom makeover in the offing.
DeleteA beautiful cushion!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I haven't made anything for ages so was quite rusty
DeleteThe cushions are really lovely, Scarlet. You're very talented. Xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Jules. I think my sewing 'O' level has been the most useful one I took!
DeleteA beautiful cushion - you are so talented!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joan. As I stitched I remembered embroidering lazy daisies aged 9 or 10 at school in Winchester. Happy memories of my favourite school
