As much as the sight of Moo snuggled into the sofa cushions is one of life’s simple pleasures, it does mean said cushions have a very limited lifespan. Even though she doesn’t chew the corners off and eat the stuffing anymore (phew!), the combination of black puppy fur, mud and anything else she’s rolled in at the puppy park does up the rate of normal wear and tear considerably!
So, I thought new cushions for a new year.
I bought the batik fabric in Singapore last year, and have been really looking forward to making something with it.
I wanted three cushions that matched, without being exactly the same. They were meant to have zips, but do you think I could find them when the time came???
PS I know, I haven’t mentioned the “new resolve” yet. It was just something lame about actually finishing off some projects that’ve been WIPs for over two years now. Sigh.

Nice cushions! I love the combo of the batik with the stripes.
Thankyou! It was a bit of a fluke – the local fabric shop had the stripe on special really cheap, and it ended up matching really well 🙂
Gosh those are gorgeous! I wish I could sew, I’d love to have pillows like those. Beautiful work.
Thanks Kathryn! I used to sew lots years ago, and have only just started again… I think 20 years was a long enough gap to get over being sick of it!
I like them with the buttons. They fit and suit them beautifully. And your photographs are wonderful! 😀 Happy new year.
Thanks Julia, and happy new year to you too! Yes, I’m actually much better at doing buttons and button holes than zips, so it actually worked out perfectly 😀
These cushions are beautiful-they would not look out of place in a trendy boutique.
Thankyou, what a lovely comment! 😀
Your cushions are gorgeous!! Love love love the fabric!!!
Thanks Lisa – I’ve always loved Batik. I guess this is no longer the “traditional” batik, but I still love it!
I heart that batik fabric, what rich colours. The cushions are beautiful.
Thanks very much Felicity xxx

Beautiful…just the thing I need to brighten up my dull boring old family room. And I have lots of buttons I could use.
Thanks for the lovely comment Nicola! Yes, I have lots of buttons too – I love having a collection of them, so there’s always just the one that you need 😀
I love the contrasting velvet bias edges – gorgeous! And I’m sure Moo will find them very comfy too 😀 xxx
Thanks Suse! Yes, they’re already looking a little squished into Moo’s shape.
