The staff room at work (well, it's more of a space really) is having an overhaul and when the officer manager mentioned she'd run out of budget for cushions I offered to make some.
The office is white but has splashes of colour from vinyl wall decals, so I thought this Ikea fabric I had would work well, along with some denim.
I need to stock up on large buttons now! And my sewing machine has a crises half way through so I finished up on Lily's mini John Lewis machine, which coped fine.
I'm please to say that they have gone down very well. Need to find some more projects now (once the machine is fixed) and get the WIPs finished!

They look great....so bright and colourful.
I loved the programme as well...and you couldn't fault Ann's sewing skills.
They all look great Fay x
Really bright & cheerful :)
absolutely gorgeous, perfect for a largely white room
They are so lovely. I loved the program and hoped that Lauren would win but as you say, Anns skills were incredible!
These are stunning on that white background! I watched it on I player and was sad for Sandra and Lauren but so pleased for Ann. A worthy recognition of her skills and how wonderful at 81!
your completed cushions are fab and will definitely brighten up your staff room.... I would want to take them home tho!
I was NEVER into sewing so can't get back into it but I do envy people like you who create wonderful things :)
Well done :D
You'll be taking more commissions in no time!
They really add a pop of colour. I. Am I wanting to start something because of the sewing bee. Found you through Alison etc :0)
