This pretty and useful set by Jane Kharade is made from hand dyed wool in gorgeous autumnal hues. Embellished with appliquéd wool leaves, sequins and beads, the back of the coordinating hottie cover is also blanket stitched in a contrasting colour to create a great design feature.
Cushion & hottie cover
1 Cut wool fabric large enough for the cover front and two backs. Colour using Flamingo Pink hand dye, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once dry, cut out a 31cm square plus back pieces, 17cm x 31cm for the top and 20cm x 31cm for the bottom. Trim several large rectangles of wool for the leaves. Intermix Woodland and Terracotta Brown and Rosewood dyes to create several new shades.
