Celebration Cushion

We were thrilled to be invited to a friend's wedding this weekend, we struggled to decide what to buy the happy couple, so decided a handmade gift was the way forward. In the end we decided on a personalised cosy cushion ans spent a very happy afternoon in the conservatory, just letting the piece develop by itself. Oh and the wedding was truly wonderful..........
I chose a fabric which I felt reflected the personality of the Bride, colourful and bubbly!

I did not attach the felt panel (made from a washing machine shrunk cardigan!) but simply overstitched it in multiple  different sewing machine stitches.

The colours of the machine embroidery were picked out from the vibrant colours of the cushion fabric

I personalised the cushion with the names of our friends and the wedding date
