My cushion

[debih]

Have had a fab time at the beginners quilting workshop and will definitely be going to another class - probably a bag making workshop in May.

This has been a great grounding as I have learnt loads and now feel perfectly capable of making my cushion covers for the dining room seats.

However I first want to buy a rotary cutter, mst and ruler - so much easier than scissors!

Here is what I made. I love the floral fabric and wished I had gone for reds rather than green but I'm really pleased with it. We practised on bits and pieces in the morning and made the cushion in 3 hours. The only thing I didn't do was cut the fabric for the back, but every thing else was me - a complete novice.

Brilliant debih! I love patchwork and quilting. A rotary cutter and mat is a must

The second cushion is the back of the first cushion.

I want to make 6 cushions to go on my dining chairs (brown suede) and I think I might use the floral fabric for the .

I want to buy a rotary cutter, mat and ruler first though to make cutting straight lines easier.

Well done Debih, it's brilliant!

Making cushion covers is lovely, you can find material so easily and get an instant update for your furniture
Look in charity shops for duvet covers, or curtains Some do have pieces of material too.
I've made one for a dining chair, the one kept in 'my' little room, it was pretty easy
The cutter and mat do make a huge difference, I really struggled with straight lines

Those workshops sound really good

I would fancy a workshop I think it would be good fun.

That is lovely Deb, I wish I was handy or should that be crafty?
