Handmade Lavender Hearts and Pin Cushion

25 September 2011

Over the past few weeks I've enjoyed making little lavender heart cushions. I love working with felt, it's so versatile and easy to use, and I'm really loving the bright, bold colours. I really need to get more felt in my life!


The green and yellow cushion was a wedding gift to a friend. 
This was created by joining two cushions together. 'Two hearts become one!'
The floral fabric and gold threads, which I received in my Autumn Swap, adds an extra touch.
I really enjoyed making this cushion.

Shocking Pink Heart with Flower for a lovely friend 
who had given me a bouquet of lavender from her garden!

                                            Sparkly Beaded Spirals with lush velvet underneath!
This was given away as part of the 'Autumn Swap'


Bright Pink Heart with Initial for another lovely friend


Orange Spiral Pin Cushion.
Also given away as part of the swap.

Shopping list: 
Lots of Colourful Felt
Sparkly Embroidery Thread
Beaded Dressmaking Pins

My daughter, Jazmine, has made the shortlist for the cosmopolitan blog awards 2011
"A charity shop girl who likes the occasional Starbucks
and adores wandering around the Victoria and Albert Museum."
I am so proud of everything Jazmine has achieved!
 

I've watched her blog and confidence grow over the past eighteen months,  



from the shy girl taking outfit shots in her bedroom 


into the confident, beautiful young lady she has become posing for Vogue Italia.
  
If you would like to vote for Jazzabelle's Diary!  She can be found under 'Established Fashion blog'. 
Thanks loads xx
Hope you all have a fabulous week!
