How a Fringed Cushion became a Zenkidu

I discovered Zenkidu when I was making fringed cushions at an event at Dymocks. I was looking for an alternative project for the boys (or girls) who might not want to make a cushion…and I found it. Instead of sewing a heart or flower on the cushion the boys could sew on a big nose or funny eyes and instead of cutting fringes all around the cushion they would only fringe the top and cut out arms and legs …and so Zenki (which is what I like to call him) was born…and of course the Zenkidu family has grown.
