This scrappy cushion workshop will show you how to make your own unique fabric from scraps. Then you will turn it into a lovely new cushion for your home. Your scrappy cushion will be completely unique and the envy of your friends.
This workshop is an offshoot from the popular ‘Rags to Riches’. It borrows one of the upcycling techniques used in that class to create a stunning, embroidered textile piece. Then you have the opportunity to make your gorgeous embellished panel into a cushion, using either the ‘envelope’ method, or to add a zip closure.
Who is this aimed at?
Anyone who’d like to use their sewing machine creatively. Perhaps you’re bored with dressmaking, or small craft items and are looking for new craft ideas? Anyone who want to avoid waste and re-use, re-make and recycle.
