During our summer vacation last year I made a lot of these little cushions. All I needed was some fabric, old monograms, buttons, a scissor, needle and thread and than I can do a lot! If I have made something that I like, I want to make more. First I have cut the fabric in the right size and than started looking for a nice combination for the cushion. I have used a lot of vintage fabric. I sewed the cushions by hand, because I think that gives a better result. So I made that vacation more than 40 of these cushions. My friends had a lot of fun on this number. What to do with so much of these cushions? Well, now Gonnie and I are verry happy with them and hopely the customers of our litte shop Atelier Steekjes & Kruisjes too!
