Easy Sewing - Creating a cushion using a sewing kit.

It seems every other person I know has re-discovered the needle and thread or removed the dust cover from their sewing machine, and I am no exception. Have you been hooked by the Great British Sewing Bee?  But feel you are lacking the confidence or the skills. Then a sewing project kit is a good place to start.

Benefits of creating a Sewing Project using a Kit

• ·      Gives you your sewing confidence backs.

• ·      Fabric pieces already measured and cut out.

• ·      Majority of materials will be included.

• ·      Assembly instructions with easy to follow diagrams.  

My Caroline Alice patchwork cushion sewing project

Included : fabric pieces, needle, full instructions including diagrams. Not included pins, thread and a needle.

I followed the simple instructions and used a sewing machine, but you could easily sew by hand.

Stage 1 Pin and sew the separate patchwork squares in rows of three.

Stage 2 Pin and sew the three rows of patchwork together to form the front of the cushion

Stage 3 Pin and sew the two rear panels of fabric to the front

Stage 4 Insert you cushion through the overlapping fabric to create a pretty no zip patchwork cushion.

Ta-dah! All finished and just waiting for a cushion. You have to agree the liberty print on this fabric is rather gorgeous and what a vibrant colour  This kit has given me the confidence and template to now create my own cushions measuring and cutting out my own fabric.
