My girls are attending Bday party tomorrow so I made the gifts.
These are intended for girls (sisters) so I made the cushions almost identical. We know how the siblings work. They want exactly the same thing :)
So duo is the best choice.
They are cute, soft and cuddly. My girls are telling me I have to make some more for them as well.
I ran out of this soft fabric though. I bought only half metre a long time ago. I'm happy I finally used it. It's cheaper version of minky. Some local no name type.
The back side is plain, hidden zipper. The size of insert cushion is 40x40cm.
I was kind of worried how the stretchy fabric is going to work so I put regular cotton fabric underneath it. I made it a little bigger and used the overlapping part to bind the inside.
It's not perfect as I didn't measure at all but it gave it clean finish. That soft fabric fray like crazy!
Adding the cotton layer also helped for the applique.
I finished on time so let's celebrate! Do you prefer handmade gifts or you rather buy (receive) something else? I'm curious to know :)
*Inspired by this tut.
Linking up with finish it up Friday and more:
