Cushion Mania...

So I'm a bit hooked on sewing cushions lately since buying our new sewing machine.

I made those few smaller ones I showed you and now that I've got the hang of it I want to start remaking all our bigger cushions around the house.

I found this lovely cream embossed off cut piece at Spotlight for 99c. I wanted to make two cushions but it was only enough for one so this is my first attempt at a full sized cushion cover. I had just enough material left over to make a memory board for the office/sewing room and so this cushion is now for my sewing chair.

Then I used this cross stitch piece which I've shown you before. It used to be sewed loosely onto an existing cushion cover years ago before our children were born but I took it off to avoid damaging the stitching while they were babies....

.... and so now I've resewed it making it up into a cushion from scratch.

I used some ric rac on the sides.

... and some lovely old buttons from Oma's button collection and sewed it onto a taupe coloured off cut piece of corduroy fabric I also bought from Spotlight for $1.99. Love those off cuts for cushions. Guess who's going back to Spotlight ASAP to find some more!

This is my computer desk chair.
