Cushions

These cushion covers are made from op- shop fabric finds, except for the stripe which i bought new a few years ago to make a cover for a divan, this is its second time around so it counts as being recycled. The yellow floral i cant remember when i found it, but it has : "Batavia"....Cyrus Clark Co. Inc........Everglaze 1977 printed on the selvedge.
I wrapped & pinned hessian around the seat cushion of the "Miners Lounge". A temporary arrangement, i wanted to see if it was too scratchy before i went ahead & stitched it. The brown floral was a skirt, & the plain brown a piece of furnishing fabric. The blue one i posted earlier includes bits of an old white chenille bedspread given to me by Simonne a long time ago. I used it as a bedspread then a curtain.

For the stripey cushion i knitted strips of old fabric from clothes, on chunky needles, tied on some old buttons i found in the grandma button tin with brickies string.
