Dog cushion
A work of art for your sofa!
This is a cushion cover featuring a picture of a dog. It's appliqued using a variety of recycled fabrics.
The pieces of fabric which make up the dog have been cut out and finished either by turning the edges under (for lightweight fabrics) or by machining round with a zigzag stitch (for heavier fabrics). They have then been hand-stitched onto the front of the cushion. The cushion front and backs have been sewn together by machine and finished neatly inside using an overlocker.
The background on the front of this cushion is made from a recycled vintage curtain. It's a Collier Campbell design called "Sakkara Trellis", sold through Habitat in the 1980s. The back of the cushion is a plain red loose weave cotton, and has a central opening fastened with 3 mismatched vintage buttons. Because of the mixture of fabrics used, it's not washable and should be gently spot-cleaned if necessary.
It measures 45cm x 45cm (18" x 18"). Please note that this listing is for the cushion cover only. Posting cushion pads increases the postage costs considerably, so it's best if you source your own cushion pad locally- 45cm x 45cm is a standard size.
All of my cushion covers are unique - I use the same design, but vary the fabrics each time.
Go on - treat yourself!
