I have been wondering for 2 months what cushion to make for my new sofa. And it happens at once.
I have seen this shirt and liked the color (exactly the same as my lamp). I liked the embroidery very much, too. So decided to create 2 cushions in combination with orange - the sofa's color.
Thinking or how to closure the back, I know it is impossible to find zipper matching color, suddenly found I can use the buttonholes of the shirt.
First I added two little triangles to compensate the neckcurve.
The back of the shirt I have used for cushion's back.
Added thin batting and stitched - some lines by machine, some lines by hand. I have seen this in Nova Flitter's blog and likes it very much.
The front looks great, too.
I like the final result. What about you?
me too!
ReplyDeletesimple and elegant!
PS love the birdy background by the way :)
Totally agree with the above:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Rali (Domoshar). Your opinion is worth much for me.
ReplyDeleteKeti, thank you! I was wondering about binding - invisible thread of sewing by hand. By hand is the final decision.
ReplyDeletewow what a great idea, it looks really fancy. I love recycling too, and will definitely be looking out for some material to transform into a cushion like yours. Also love the fact thats its a one off, original. Well done
ReplyDeleteThank you! I appreciate your words, because you love recycling.
