Patchwork cushion


Front


Back

All finished! That's another pressie crossed off my list.... just a few more to go. Next up is a cowl-neck scarf OR a headband, I can't decide.


Both patterns are free downloads, but the headband looks a bit more of a challenge! I have only ventured tentatively out of the scarf knitting box, and that was to make a little bag, which to be fair, was also square, so I'm hardly out of beginner needles yet. Still it's good to stretch yourself a little!

  1. The cushion looks gorgeous! I still cant believe how quickly youve got to grips with the sewing machine, you're amazing! The headband looks cool! What day you wanna come round? Thursday maybe? It turned out that I cant get anyone to watch jame and pick up mya so cant do the sewing thing after all :( I'll give her a ring anyway to find out about what she does. cheers bird x

  4. Thanks Karen! I wanted it to be comforting and tactile as it's for my sis who has been through a rough time lately.... all the fabric (apart from the peacock blue which was a coat) was scrap material from the local scrapstore, destined otherwise for landfill. That's why some of the birds are a bit mutilated on the front :(
