This is the second attempt at the post as Blogger deleted the first! We had lovely weather this weekend and decided to spend time enjoying it, but mummy also had to play surgeon with Pandora the Panda who needed magic star anaesthetic and some repairs!!
I also had a go at the Tula Pink campervan appliqué pattern that I found and fell in love with. Mummy has agreed (maybe crazily) to redecorate Maddi's room if she is a good girl but I have said I would make as much as I can!!
So here is cushion number one for story corner with the proud owner.....
Here is the back.....
Maddi chose the button almost all hearts!
The front was fairly easy, the trickiest bit is the amount of little circles you have to cut, but after that it came together quickly. I machine quilted the zigzags with every third one being purple, the started off very even and ended up a little wiggly! I also decided not to put on some of the really small bits because I don't have a satin stitch on my machine. I also left some edges to fray for a funky look.
I was a little upset I couldn't take away the chalk marks, I tried brushing and washing it but they are still there disappointingly.
I have never made a cushion so I had to make the back up and borders as I went along but I am pleased with how it came out. I didn't want to put a zip in which is why I didn't follow the pattern. But overall it's coming out really well.
Thanks for stopping by.
