Some Cushion Zhushing

As far as I am concerned - there is no such thing as TOO many cushions.  A single cushion can completely change the whole look of a room and in no time turn it from bland to grand!   

I know some people find them an absolute nuisance -  but not me.  I come from a long line of 

Over-Cushioners!

Mum was an Over-Cushioner.  Her cushioning style was rather random and somewhat  uncoordinated.  Multiple colours and styles - whatever took her fancy really.   She had a thing for anything with either a cat or dog motif and over the years collected some rather interesting(?) examples.

Nan was also an Over-Cushioner and being the fantastic seamstress she was - used to create the most gorgeous hand smocked  round satin creations with large covered buttons in the centre.  She would use a huge darning needle to pierce the cushion and attach the buttons to each side.    Her cushions were a work of art. 

Which leads me to today......

Now,  I'm not entirely sure what lead me to my crazy cushion making frenzy this afternoon!

One minute I was sorting through my fabric stash....... 

And the next, I was cutting out layers and layers of yellow and blue co-ordinated fabric and sewing up a storm!

Buttons, bobble trim, zig-zag - pins flying everywhere......

I was like a woman possessed.



So here we have it.

A whole bunch of cute little blue and yellow creations - perfect for some Spring time cushion zhushing! 

Super easy to make and cost me hardly anything (apart from the inserts)

If anyone is interested - I would be happy to post a little tutorial.

Only problem now........

Where to put them all!
