Forget splashing out on a lavish home revamp and instead add character with handmade soft furnishings created using your favourite fabrics. We’ve taken nine fabrics squares and added a handful of stitchy extras to form items that we’re sure you’ll be itching to create yourself.
Create a large cushion
Cut each fabric print into four 6.3cm squares and place into four groups of nine square blocks, ensuring no two pieces of the same pattern touch. Stitch the fabrics together with a 5mm seam allowance and press flat. On the reverse, divide each patchwork block into quarters with a pencil and cut.
Lay the pieces out, right sides up, and arrange them in a symmetrical pattern – again ensuring that no two prints are positioned together. Pin and stitch the pieces into one large 32cm square block before pressing the seams flat.
Cut two 25cm x 32cmpieces of plain backing fabric and hem a long edge of each piece. Lay the rectangles on top of the right side of the patchwork, so the hemmed edges overlap. Stitch around the edges and turn right sides out to create an envelope back.
