Cushion making workshop

Cushions with zips made be a group of friends who are all learning to sew or improve their skills, just a few here, I did not manage to get photos of them all which is a shame, but have a peak at these ones.

Cut work Cushions

A little while ago I made these cushions as a present for someone who doesn't really like any colour in a room, their request was black and white. I have used layers of fabrics from sample books and then covered in black and cut through the various layers after stitching to give a textured effect.Of course the cat has to get in on the act...
