New cushions in my shop.I really enjoyed making these and think I 've got the hang of the zip in the back opening. It's amazing how sometimes the zips go in like a dream and other times they WILL NOT lie flat! I think it really is a case of 'practice makes perfect.'
My four year old daughter, Moa, has been on holiday, and discovered the Audrey pillow this morning. She got so excited about it, that she ran into my bedroom and said: "Who has made this lovely pillow?" Me, still not really awake: "Uh, eh, it's a woman in Africa." Moa: "It's so very, very, very, very, one million, very lovely!"
Well done on the zips. They can be a real killer. My first bag design did not (and still does not) have a zip for closure becuase I didnt know how to sew it in at the time. (Hand stitching magnets inside the fabric top were my answer but I do not think that this will work so well for cushion). :)
I am a textile designer,beader and crafter. I live in the beautiful seaside villiage of Hermanus with my husband, two boys(who are both working away from home now) and a ginger cat. I love creating things and have always worked with beads,fabrics,design, colours and yarns. My 'proper" job is working as a Literacy & Numeracy facilitator for a local NGO.It is also creative, but in a completely diferent way and most rewarding.
