freshlyfound.com: More Cushions

Wednesday, May 02, 2012

I've put 2 more cushions into the store today. The first one is a real favourite of mine.

I loves the blues and greens of this house tapestry and I love the way the patchwork backing made from linen samples turned out.

The next cushion is made from a vintage jersey knit evening dress. It reminds me of the dresses my granny used to wear.

It is a lovely jade colour and the zip closure from the dress is used on the back of the cover.

Love you blog
