Every craft space needs some
cushions. Cushions equal comfort. If
people are comfortable and cosy then they will relax and craft easier.
So, it was time to make some mini
cushions for my mini shed.
I started by taking some calico
fabric and hand-drawing some shapes for flowers and leaves. When I say ‘shapes’,
it is a lot easier than that, simply a couple of circles and a kind of leafy
shape effort. Luckily, for me, you don’t
need to be an artist to do this bit 😊
Once the rough outlines were drawn,
(using a heat sensitive pen that would disappear when ironed) I started to fill
in the shapes with thread.
Then I ironed away all the ink
marks to be left with a cute little flower image.
Then I had to cut out some backs
for the cushions - I measured these to
the scale of 1:6 that I am using.
… and sewed them together using the
sewing machine, before stuffing them and hand sewing them closed.
Two
nice little plump embroidered cushions.
These took around an hour and a half each to make, so time spent on this
project so far is now 48 hours.
Love these!!!
