Our irresistible retro-style pillow would make a great accessory for a space-themed bedroom. The cylindrical shape has been created using a bolster cushion pad with a removable cover for easy cleaning. It’s made from soft printed cottons and corduroy fabrics with an added touch of sparkly silver to enchant any budding spaceman.
Stitch a rocket cushion
Cut corduroy fabric to 12.5cm x 50cm, spotted fabric to 13.5cm x 50cm and striped cotton to 13cm x 50cm. Pin the corduroy to the spotted material and machine stitch across the longest edges. Next, pin the spotted fabric to the striped piece and sew. Pin red ribbon across the colour changes and machine stitch into place.
Iron fusible webbing onto the back of navy felt and cut out four 8.5cm diameter circles. Attach fusible webbing to the back of silver lame fabric and cut four 4.5cm diameter circles. Peel the backing from the lame and iron under a handkerchief to the centre of the navy circles.
Peel the backing paper from a navy circle and position it 3.5cm in from the raw edge of the spotted piece, iron under a handkerchief to fix in place. Attach another circle on the opposite side in the same way. Measure 17cm from the raw edge and iron on a third circle. Attach the forth in the same way.
