How I made the Tapestry Cushion Covers:
I used a yellow and white dishcloth as a backing for the lemon tapestry. It matched the colours well and was easy to work with. I inserted a zip in the dishcloth backing and then stitched the 4 sides of the cover together.
With the pink canvas rose one, there was enough canvas to make the back of the cover too. I had to do a bit of patchwork to make it fit – cutting some canvas from the sides, and adding it to the top and the bottom pieces. I then folded the canvas and inserted a zip in the join at the back, before stitching the side seams.
This is not the first time I’ve done this. I have reclaimed many tapestries and handwork pieces as cushion covers and bags too.

contrasts with the smooth sophistication
