No sew fluffy cushion
Easy peasy
I made this cushion for my first born over a decade ago.
It has fared pretty well.
The beauty is -
It required no sewing
For the little letter embellishment I did use a basic blanket stitch, but you can omit it or use fabric glue.
That's the beauty of felt
It doesn't require hemming.
Flash forward 10 years.
My second born is jealous.
Luckily we are hoarders and I still had the left over fabric.
Start by laying out both pieces
Cut out both pieces together in a circle
Or any shape you choose
If you are adding embellishment or patch, do it at this stage.
Cut the edge in a fringe about 2 to 3cms.
About an inch for those of you yet to embrace the metric system.
But don't worry too much.
Continue all the way around
About 5cm in length
Tie the corresponding pieces together
In double knots
Do this almost all the way around
When you are nearly finished
Fill it with cushion stuffing
Then finish tying up the last of the fringe
And there you have it!
Better than the original I think
Crafting made easy
Try it with the kiddies
They can do it themselves it is so simple
