A tale of two cushions

Jones & I have both made a cushion each for the comfort of the couch & a little personal touch.  We both love Melbourne and have both at different times lived in London - both of these places are dear to our hearts & we wanted to reflect this in some way.  

Jones is a whiz with the sewing machine, but this is fairly new to me however in the words of handmade crafterneers everywhere, perfection is in the imperfection.


Jones used a beautiful linen bus roll panel for the front which poses a striking silhouette against the pale chair don't you think?


A clever little secret on the back: I love the stitched tram details!


& striped piping!


The Union Jack, a nervous venture for me, but I love to experiment with detail in the texture as opposed to colour.



Perhaps a sneaky mobile phone could fit into this pocket while cuddling up with a nice book?


A match made in linen wouldn't you say?

Special mention to Patchwork on Central Park where we get many lovely linens and materials.

Sew you like Organisation?

Here's a great way to organise your cotton reels - and it makes for an unusual, yet crafty art display for your studio.


To get this look just...
  1. use your ruler and mark where you want your nails to go first.  
  2. then lightly hammer your nails into your wooden clipboard at about a 75 degree angle.  
  3. slip your favourite cotton reels onto the nails.
  4. hang or display
