My lovely sisters's lovely friend is having a baby (due on Valentines Day) and has decorated her nursery in greys and yellows. Thinking how lovely some bunting and a matching cushion might be in the same colours she popped a sewing request into me and I came up with this....
I must say that I am loving my crafty self over it! I had seen a lovely cushion on pinterest of course with mini bunting spread across it and it looked terribly fancy and clever so I came up with this version. It is just a simple envelope style cushion cover since I am yet to attempt that whole zip situation.
I made the mini bunting on the front of the cushion as you would normal size bunting. I pinned the flags into the stripey binding and then pinned that straight onto the pillow so I only had one stitch line tthrough the whole thing. The bunting flags hang loose. The cushion cover is just calico.
A perfect match I think!

ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the cushion. I recently conquered my fear of zips in cushion covers, it wasn't that bad - really!
