Children's cushion

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Children

Style: Whimsical


Materials

Variety of quilting quarters and odd bit and pieces left over from other projects

What was your inspiration?

My son (pictured) wanted a cushion made for his bedroom. He loves LEGO so we designed it around one of his favourite LEGO men 'Sam Sinister'. I enlarged the LEGO man by 7 times to make it the right size for the project and then carefully built up the layers to create the final picture.

It is all appliqued except the camels; I got inspiration for them from a Google picture. I loved doing this project and it was extra special as it was made for my youngest boy.

What are you most proud of?

Strangely, the bit I love the most is the camels, they look so effective and really bring the whole picture together.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Have fun! There was no set pattern, just an idea in my head which was added to by my son.

Thank you, it was great fun to make and remarkably robust, it's been sat on and twisted and goodness knows what else but it still pops back into place.

I had thought of selling them but then I thought I'd be in breach of copyright stuff.
