Do you remember this Little Helpers and in particular the Cathedral Window cushion? I really liked the look of the Cathedral windows and also found the hand sewing really relaxing and enjoyable. I started another one shortly after finishing the first. Different fabrics a different shape and no button embellishment this time, the same principles of ironing and folding squares and then hours and hours of hand sewing. I am pleased with the result, but I do think a pair would be better!
I fancied doing something a little quicker - and found a tutorial for a gathered ruffle cushion. This one took a couple of hours to complete, once finished I felt it needed something to pull the 2 colours together, a bit of folding, glueing and rolling and the fabric flowers were born. The result is more pleasing with everything seeming to work more 'together'.
Finally - something for the boys! This a tooth pillow, the smiley bit of the face is a pocket and somewhere for a milk tooth to be left in the hope a little reward might appear - I hope the tooth fairy approves! I ran out of stuffing today so this is still unfinished. I better hurry up though as I understand from my little nephews that there are 3 wobbly teeth at the minute!
A happy trio of cushions - well they make me happy!!
