Tiki Cushion

This is the same picture as before, but photo shopped. It has given me something to think about, I think that the cushion in colour would be visually more exciting.

The background is done, I have positioned the pattern pieces onto the newly made fabric, I like what i see. I will be making the individual pieces onto Vliesofix ironing them on and then stitching it on.

Tilli and Meg helping.
Preparing the fabric for the cushion. I have used batting off cuts for this available from The Pillow Factory in bags full, Cheap stuff. It is on some cotton fabric which will not show because it will be the insides of the pillow.
Sandwiched and pinned with some lovely brown 100% wool suiting fabric i bought from Spotlight last year.
Randomly textured the fabric. This is great fun.
