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.'

This is a new design I 've listed in my shop. I love the idea of mixing the designs and patterns with the monotone of the old photograph.

bug zoo! New cushions in my shop! I've taken AGES to make these because I wanted to add in some brighter colours, either in the backing or binding. I tried red binding on the beetle, which I thought would look stunning, but somehow just didn't work so I opted for the more neutral look.
The difference in the cotton and linen doesn't show up so well in the photos and maybe next time I need to use slightly more contrasting fabrics. Anyway, I enjoyed making them, especially the embroidery, simple as it may be, and the addition of a few beads!

Hedgerow

Proteas
I have used the 'delicious monster' design for a tea towel before and the 'hedgerow' as a multi colour cushion cover, but re coloured they look completely different. The 'protea' design was done a while ago but I didn't like the original colorway and it seemed a good idea to use this taupe, lime and turq colour combo!
