Project Destash #1 | Cushion Cover {quilting}

Wednesday, 25 June 2014

I saw this cushion from Depeapa, and knew I had to make one. The cushion is not expensive, but I am embarking on a massive destash project (more on that later on the blog) and had enough fabric to make (a lot of) similar cushions either in this colour scheme or another one - at a fraction of the price. 


As you can see on the left-hand side I tried to match the fabrics I have with the actual colour scheme of the Depeapa cushion. However I know that this cushion will not go with anything in my house, even though I like it as a stand-alone item. 


I tried to go for another mix of fabrics that he will better suited to Baby MiH's room -  where I actually need more pillows - and I am quite pleased with it. But it does not say summer as much as the other colour scheme does. 


I actually got a feeling I will be spending more time trying to work out the colour scheme than the actual sewing of the pillow. But I cannot wait to have this cushion in my house!

  2. The orange works with the blues and looks summery/nautical to me. Great idea to use their design.

  4. Looks like a great design. It's always nice to know us quilters can make things at a fraction of the price we could buy them for!
