Envelope Style Cushion

In this video I show how to make a simple envelope style cushion cover. My cushion cover has some appliqué detail on the front which was cut with the ScanNCut, I have covered how to cut and applique fabric in previous videos Here and Here

Todays video is just the basics of how I calculate the fabric size for my cushion and tips on how to put it together.

A section of my video at the end showing how I use my overlocker to tidy up the edges of my fabric didn’t record but I do explain in the video that you can use pinking shears, an overcasting or zig zag stitch to achieve this.

This is the finished cushion.

Decorated Pegs

I realise I am probably the last person to discover  Washi tape, Ive never really understood the obsession some people have with it.

However I came across some on offer recently and I thought that a couple of the rolls were a good match for the Stampin Up 2015-2017 In colours, so I bought some.

I have to say I like it, and have used it on a couple of projects and I know my daughter has her eye on it too!

The decorated pegs will be a project for my craft class, they could be used for fastening gift bags but Ive added magnetic strip on the back of mine, so I am sure they will look good on a notice board too.

I only have 5 rolls so far, but will probably buy some more.

These are my decorated pegs, what do you think?

Christmas Cushion

You may remember I posted a Father Christmas card on the 22nd July made from a cutting file from Paul Bailey, well Ive used the cutting file and made it bigger to cut the same design in felt with the ScanNCut.

This is what Ive made with it, Cute I think?

This is a simple envelope style cushion, Ive had a few request for more sewing projects/tutorials so for the new sewers out there I may make a video on how to make this style of cushion if anyone is interested.
