Fringed Heart Cushion

Facebook0Tweet0Pin0

This  two-toned fringed heart cushion aims to be simple and elegant, and might just make the perfect gift for kids to make for mum this Mother’s Day.

Over the last year or so I’ve been giving quite a few family workshops. I’ve found that a lot of people who can’t sew  feel very intimidated at the thought of sewing something by themselves or with their kids. This has motivated me to design a variety of projects that require only two squares of felt. I’ve got to say it’s been a lot of fun and even I have been surprised at how much you can do with such a simple brief. This fringed heart cushion is one of these designs.
