    Make a cushion

    1. Locate, download and print out the templates. Measure a 41cm square of calico, cut and put aside. Iron fusible webbing onto the back of a piece of red felt, ensuring it is big enough to accommodate the motifs. Cut the female figure and ‘MRS’ motifs out using the templates as a guide.

    2. Draw or stick the motifs onto the backing paper of the fusible webbing using glue stick, making sure that you reverse the text. Using small embroidery scissors, carefully cut out the shapes. Peel off the backing paper and arrange the felt figure centrally over the calico square. L
