New Cushion Designs in Vintage Fabrics

My house is bursting with cushions!!!!

Sold these two to my friend - yay for friends who buy your craft stuff.



Then I've made the first one from the green/blue 1950's curtains. Lucky my button and trimming hoard had just the right colour piping cord and vintage buttons.

Next starting on an embroidered and crochet cushion. There will be stitching on top of the crochet. Also got some lovely shabby chic flower fabric for the back.


Close up of the 1937 tray cloth centre, the outside was stained so I've cut the middle out. Been sitting stitching it now I'm off to bed.
