A Finish

It seems quite a while since I had any finished items to show. But look!

Not one:

Not two:
But four!

Cushions for the caravan finished today.

They have zips in the back, covered by a flap:

That meant I could use zips of various colours that I had on hand, rather than having to buy new ones. I used the instructions on Chris's blog here. You can find her pdf file if you scroll down her page, to the section on the right-hand side called "Patterns". I tapered the corners, as shown on this site: How to Taper Corners, which makes the cushion corners plumper.


Some time in the future those bench seat cushions will be on the list for new covers. And the curtains could do with updating. But for now I am just happy to have got them done (even though it is 8 days since the birthday they were for.)

  1. These are perfect! and Jeanette is right, very professional. I'm ging to bookmark the links in case I make cushions. Don't you love using what you have and not buying new?

  2. Congratulations on your finishes. So nice with those zippers. And so perfect fabrics for caravan cushions. Now you need to make a pincushion for the caravan too. No zipper needed then.
