Create perfect harmony in your living space with these feminine cushions. Made using printed cottons in serene greens, blues, pinks and purples, Corinne has created two coordinated styles; a 3-D pillow with a pretty pleated frill, plus a coordinating cushion with padded appliqué.
Sew a heartshaped cushion
Visit www.sewmag.co.uk and print the large heart template. Pin it to two floral fat quarters and cut out with a 5mm seam allowance. Measure the perimeter of the heart shape.
Cut six 6cm wide strips from striped fabric ensuring you cut across the pattern. Sew the pieces end to end to make one continuous length approximately 3m long. Fold in half lengthways, right side out, and press.
Stitch along the raw edge through both layers with a long, straight stitch. Do not fasten the ends of the threads, instead pull the top thread to gather up the folded fabric into a ruffle. Alternatively, sew running stitch by hand and gather up to the measurement of the heart perimeter, plus 5cm.
Fold in the ends of the gathered strip and slip stitch. Tack the ruffle to the edges of one heart, right side up, starting at the top indentation and easing it around the curves. Overlap the ends of the ruffle.
Cut enough 6cm strips of lilac fabric to measure the perimeter
