About this pattern

This sweet stencilled cushion would look good in any interior. As the motif has been stencilled on using fabric paints, the colour scheme can be easily changed. Pink and white or lime and white would also work well. Add a designer touch by adding chic pearl buttons instead of a zip.

    Make a stencilled cushion

    1. Wash, dry and press cotton fabric, then cut a 36cm x 41cm rectangle from it. You will need to do the stencilling in stages. Pour a little red fabric paint onto a wad of tissue and dry stencil the bird motif onto the left side of the cushion. Then do the branch so that he is perching on it, and the longer branch underneath.

    2. When stencilling the bottom section of birds and berries, start with the birds first. When you’ve done one, clean the stencil, flip it over and do the other one, as the second bird is a reversed image. Draw around the birds on a piece of paper and carefully cut them out
