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.

OK, let's go!


So, it was Saturday night & I was trawling my growing list of unread blogs (as you do). I came across a post on Daydream Lily introducing Bam Bam Creative's beautiful handmade homewares and it's owner Jess. So of course I checked it out for myself, and it's gorgeous, very well worth a good look around! While there I came upon Jess' cute as a button pin cushion tutorial.

So, there being no time like the present, after a quick scrounge in the cupboard I found the necessary ingredients and knocked up my own very gorgeous cushion for pins!

So, pleased with myself for being so crafty and productive on a Saturday night! And so pleased to be now following Jess at Bam Bam! Thanks Jess :)

Now, on a celebratory note: today is Tomas' birthday!! Tomas, of Tomas & Jones fame! Could there be a more auspicious time to start this blog going? So here's to Tomas & Jones...& especially here's to Tomas! Looking forward to taking this ride with you...& wishing you the best year of your life!!

Night all!

Jones :)
