Cushions

April 13, 2008 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 26 Comments

I have just completed a trio of cushions for my Living Room. This room is fairly simply furnished using predominantly natural earthy tones. I am going for a serene look, and we try and keep it uncluttered and ready to receive friends at a moments notice. I have been looking around for the perfect fabric and finally found it here.

I have used a variety of textures to add interest – the softest wool in mocha; natural linen; some chocolate coloured grosgrain ribbon with ecru detail; and the feature fabric, hand printed on a linen/cotton blend. I have backed the cushions with duckcloth and finished them off with some lovely buttons.

In today's reel, I'm transforming the Sugar Totes into a festive advent calendar using simple self-cover buttons and heat transfer vinyl numbers.

Here's how I made them:

 🎁 Cover 22mm metal self-cover buttons with natural linen
 🎁 Cut numbers from black heat transfer vinyl (Arial Rounded MT Bold, 42pt)
 🎁 Make the buttons first, then carefully apply the numbers using an iron on medium heat
 🎁 Attach the numbered buttons to the totes

The Sugar Totes are the perfect size for little treats, chocolates, notes, sewing goodies or other small surprises to open each day in the lead-up to Christmas.

Best of all, the Sugar Totes are included in the Christmas Cheer Bundle, packed full of festive sewing projects. Sugar Totes are exclusive to the bundle and not available elsewhere.

⏰ The bundle closes 10 November, so don't miss out!
