Scraps of fabric. Everyone has some around. If you don't then head down to your local haberdashery and grab some remnants. You can turn them into cushions covers like I did here.
- Keep it simple. I used a very basic "slip" design. No zips!
- For the fabric on the back of the cushions I used and old sheet.
- Make different sizes. Use different fabrics. Mismatched is great.
Exciting things are happening at Beach Vintage this week. I will let you know some details next week. Have a smile packed weekend all my lovelies. Simone xx

you are truly inspiring me to rev up the sewing machine again!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful, Simone! I love, love, love the yellow. So cheery.
ReplyDeleteLovely - love the colours in the middle one!
ReplyDeleteI love these cushions. I can't believe I've never thought to make some of these wonderful projects I see everywhere. Probably because I still haven't had my own home.
ReplyDeleteHi Simone,
ReplyDeleteI love the mixing of patterns. Can't wait to hear your exciting news.
Happy Weekend,
Marjorie
Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou always find the most beautiful fabrics and you always create something wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'm not at all handy with a needle and thread so I really appreciate that talent in others.
Very pretty post!
Have a great weekend!
All the best,

Leave us in suspense why don't you! I love the cushion covers. Have no idea of what a 'slip' design is basic or otherwise but I'll give anything a try! Enjoy your weekend. xx

Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteWonderful colours-I do try and seek out nice material/patterns like this but I never seem to have any luck! :( xxx
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love these! They're beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAha, no-zip cushions! Bags and tablecloths are the extent of my abilities now, but surely I could handle these. They look so cheerful!
ReplyDeleteThese are great..love the florals...so fresh!!!
