Cushion from a scarf

Found this lovely scarf in our local thrift shop.. Actually I meant to use it as a scarf.. But somehow I got it wrapped around a cushion, and it was destiny.

Here is what I did:
Find a scarf you like and a cushion
Either measure the cushion and the fabric – or do it the lazy way as I did – fold the fabric beside the cushion

Sew the sides together either by hand or sewing machine.. Leaving a open hole to insert the cushion.IMG_0169.JPG

Stitch the hole together. This I did by hand along with making the final adjustments to it.

And here’s the final result

Refashion – knitted cushion

This Friday I got a knitted cardigan from my friend. I loved the fabric and colors – yet the style was all wrong for me.

So I got her permission to do whatever I wanted with it. I had been looking for new cushions to my bedroom cover – and this knitted fabric was perfect. Didn’t measure before sewing – just took it as it came – after all it’s a square piece.

I wanted to do two cushions – but then my creativity got the better of me -you’ll see that in the following post.
