Monthly make

Summerhouse seat cushion - pattern by Alicia Paulson
The family were out on Saturday so I had the afternoon to myself which was the perfect chance for some sewing.  I strayed from my to-do list and decided to make a cushion for Charlie's bedroom chair.  I had bought the pattern from here and I found it really easy to use.  I love this cushion although all the family said it wasn't padded enough!!? - as if that is important!  I used all the fabrics for Charlie's quilt so it was fun seeing a little snapshot of how they look together.  This is my Monthly Make for March with The Felt Fairy.
And my Henny Penny, it gives me so much pleasure to see her foraging around the garden, she is such a friendly happy chook, I love her so.  Wendy

  11. I thought I recognised that fabric! The chair cushion looks gorgeous. It's probably to the good that it's not too padded... less temptation to sit on it and spoil it! ;o)
    Henny Penny is one beautiful chick!
