The one where she sews

I was tired of looking at so many lovely cushions for sale in Australia and then being mortified by the horrific price tags.  Sew So, what did I do, I decided to make my own!

Now, they are not fabulously hand-crafted masterpieces, and I haven't added buttons to the bottoms to hold them together yet, but they are made with love and the fabrics are perfect.  Even better, my girls ADORE them!

I can't wait to place them in their bedrooms on top of the gorgeous white quilt covers I'm planning to buy.  Now, for your viewing pleasure...

For Little Girl's Room

For Tween Girl's Room

The cushion at the back in this pic is the reverse side of the one above. 
Here's a free tip for you - I didn't have enough fabric to make the pink cushion at the back in the two lower photos, so I used fabric that I had leftover and made a double-side cushion.  That way, if the Tween Girl gets bored with one, she can just flip it!!

Oh, and a disclaimer, the brown, blue, red and pink cushion was purchased, not handmade.  Just in case you weren't sure!!!!

For now, Tween Girl has taken over the sewing machine, so I'm on a break until my next creative urge hits.

Have a great week, everyone.
