Finishing one small project can really motivate you to start another! Not long after the pram blanket, I whipped up these two cushions for the reading corner in Annette’s room. I love the clouds fabric (from here), I think it’s just great for these cushions.
For the back I used some ribbed t-shirt fabric that I found in the bargain bin at Spotlight. I have lots to learn about sewing with this kind of fabric (hello Sew U Home Stretch

They look great, I love that fabric. I think the trick with stretch is the type of needle. Jade could tell you, I think it’s a ball point needle??
Pretty cushions! I love the pram quilt in your last post as well. Sounds like you are off on lots of new adventures with sewing. (Ball point needles are definitely the ones to use with stretch fabric, although it is still tricky to sew a stretch to a non-stretch fabric…..).
very cute cloud fabric! sewing is great for (almost) instant gratification projects.
The cloud cushions are so cute, and pink and brown always look good together.
Those cushions are fab, Claudine! I have that same fabric in the stash, too. And yes, ball-point needles are what I’d use for stretch material. In some places you can even get teflon needles, but maybe not to use when you’re sewing a stretch with a woven fabric.
very cute!
The cushions are so adorable.
They are lovely, you are super clever.
