Cushion Covers

Quite a long gap between this and my last blog but I haven't been idle....been learning how to make cushion covers!
The covers are patchwork and my theme is mostly romantic....heart,floral etc....but I'm also making lots with a seaside or holiday theme which i'm hoping to sell at a summer stall.
One thing i've learnt is that if you have a stall booked it's no good thinking about what you're going to put on it just about a month ahead...so I've started making NOW ready for August.
Somebody showed me how to do this type of "instant patchwork" and it really works well...the thing to remember is that accurate measuring is all!! No cutting corners as attention to detail pays off at the end.
I'm going to have a go at putting some photos on here and then tomorrow I'll add the instructions for making them.
