A Liberty and Linen Wallflower cushion

I have a lot of presents to make in the next week as well as bee blocks to complete. I feel a little overwhelmed with my sewing schedule and shared this with Trudi, Moria and Tanya at our get together last night. The advice was a) don't panic and b) write a list. 

So armed with my list, and deciding what was going to be sewn today, I have spent the morning making a Liberty and Linen Wallflower cushion following this excellent tutorial.

This is number one on my list with a great big tick beside it.

The cushion is long and thin and was an absolute horror to insert the pillow into it. As this is a birthday present for a friend, it won't be my job to take the pillow insert out when the cover requires washing and for that I am truly grateful!!! 


It was not the most pressing item on my list however it was half completed and it feels good to have a finish today.

Now onto item two…

  1. for a non lover of liberty, it's a cute cushion lol... I've got to get on and finish my bed bolster, I'm planning on having my opening half way so that I can push half in and then force the other half in.... you got a finish and that's fab :)

  16. I agree wholly with the calming power of writing lists! Also I made a pillow cover for one of those maternity pillows (that are about 3 feet long) when I was pregnant. I completely didn't think through how awkward it would be to take the cover on and off!! Thanks for linking up this week.
