These cute, coral seahorses are ideal for summer. Add this stylish pillow and complementary hanging decoration to your little one’s room for an instantlift. The cushion even has a removable cover for easy cleaning, so you don’t need to worry about it getting ruined. We’ve used the beautiful French Cottage fabric range from Gütermann, which is also available in other colourways if you prefer. This pair is quick and easy to make, and creating the cushion’s vent is a great opportunity to perfect your pattern matching.
Make a cushion
Download the templates, print and cut out. Trim two large seahorses from cream lining fabric. Pin the pieces together and machine stitch around the shape, leaving a 9cm gap at the stomach. Turn through the opening and press. Stuff the seahorse until nicely rounded, and hand sew up the gap.
Cut a 38cm square from Ornament fabric. Press a double 1cm hem at one edge, pin and machine stitch into place. Place the hemmed edge over the remaining fabric, matching up the pattern as you do so and making sure that it overlaps by 7cm. Create another double hem at the raw edge of the lower piece. Place the top hem over the bottom one, matching up the pattern, and pin.
Pin the seahorse template to the fabric, placing the break line as indicated on the pattern, and cut out the shape. Cut a reversed seahorse from Garden fabric, then cut one fin and one reversed fin from Toile
