daily cushion challenge:: one

first up, inspired by this flamenco shower curtain from anthropologie and following a tutorial from a little lovely..


i upcycled one of daniel's old work shirts and made this.


 in a cosy spot of sun...
p.s. i really needed a bite of that toast right in the middle of this photoshoot! hah!

buttons closure at the back of the cushion...


ruffles ruffles galore! :) 

this one will be a great piece to lounge on. its truly as fluffy and comfy as it looks!!

  1. you made that pillow case???? faaar out. it looks soooo amazing!!!!! i saw an expensive 'Sheridan' europe pillow cover that was knitted like a jumper.

    winter in Oz....... i thought it would be hella cool (or warm in this case) to have the pillows and sheets feel like a snuggly, comfy warm jumper. re-using an old shirt is genius!! (sustainable too)

    you need 2 shirts though right? :P

  2. nice!

    haha... did D know you were converting one of his shirt into a cushion cover?

    In fact that looked really nice. You should convert more shirts into cushions!

    hmmm a cosy knit pillow in winter is pure bliss! :)

    wow! you're pretty switched on! i used one shirt only but for the ruffles it was a combination of the arms and scraps! :)
