Yay! I managed to put together the sixth Maribel Made Twit Finds. Things are a bit hectic over here because I’m moving. Country moves are epic, but it’s a good thing our flat came furnished. You might see a bit of a change in my blogging in the next month or so until things get a bit settled, but I’m going to try very hard to keep you all up to date on what’s going on. For now, I hope you enjoy my Twit Finds. :)

Simple chair cushions

March 18, 2008 in craft, sewing | No comments

Making cushions was the easiest thing I’ve ever sewn! This would definitely make a great starter project for anyone learning to sew or anyone who’d like to complete something fairly quick and small. Plus making your own cushions, as opposed to buying them, will save you a fortune. It’s super simple too…

Cut two exact square pieces of cloth (or whatever flat shape you’d like). Sew them right side facing at half inch from the edge, leaving a small opening the size of your hand on one side, then turn the piece inside out and fill. Once done filling to desired volume, pin the openning and sew with machine or by hand.

In the UK, I buy polyester fill from Christie Bears, but in the US you can purchase Poly-Fill at any department type craft store like JoAnn. Where does one get haberdashery in London anyway? See 2nd link below.
