The true colour is more like this second pic
The velvet called for a heavy backing, so I used this flowery upholstery fabric which, I hope, will match their mink coloured curtains. If it does, I'll make one using just that, as that was the end of the velvet.
I'm posting this over at Handmade Harbour http://handmadeharbour.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/handmade-monday-100.html, so hope to catch up with most of you over there.
Tomorrow will see me starting to tackle clearing and decorating my craft room. I'll post pics of the finished article, but too ashamed to show you any 'before' photos!!
Bye for now xx
oooh pretty cushion! looooooove that purple velvet :) x
ReplyDeleteLovely colours, phew, just finished in time :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the craft room decorating, it's often a monumental task for most crafters.

Lovely cushions - velvet always looks (and feels) cuddly and luxurious. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cushion- the backing is lovely too. And the velvet looks gorgeously strokable!
ReplyDeleteI agree that it looks very strokeable indeed. Good luck with your organising - you will feel so great when it is done!
ReplyDeleteThat velvet looks really sumptuous! Good luck with the craft room decorating. It eats into precious crafting time I think that's why a lot of us don't get around to it :)
ReplyDeleteLovely cushion. Yep, I understand how embarrassing "before" pics can be when you're talking tidying craft rooms - I have a studio and sewing room which both need a good sort and tidy... I may be some time!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics in your cushion, the back is just as nice as the front!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabrics. Good luck with the tidying. I always despair when I get half way through.
