Well, a bit later than planned, here are the first of my cushion covers made from old fabrics.
I plan to use at least 50% vintage /recycled fabrics and embroideries on these cushions.
I am offering the option of covers only on etsy to keep postage costs down, but I can supply them with pads for an extra fee!
For more details, see our etsy shop top right.
I currently have stock for cushion covers in a heavy indigo and natural linen ticking stripe, pink on natural linen with mid grey, white linen with pale blue edging and a very old ( indeed antique) natural canvas with the wear and tear of at least a century!
Many will feature these surface mounted gorgeous dentelle zips with aged brass tags sourced here in France. Plus I have two very special needlepoint panels to make up with medieval style “The Lady and the Unicorn” fine detail embroidery; these are based on the tapestries at the-
Musée de Cluny — Musée national du Moyen Âge

I have a deep turquoise kimono fabric to make up also.
Gorge cushions, love what you’ve done there. I wish I was as accurate with a sewing machine – mine would be wonky!! x

I think she just did! That or the testimonial of everyone’s dreams. Seriously, this is beautiful stuff. It is so smart of you to transform these fabrics into things that are beautiful, usable and right for today’s homes. I have been thinking you are tempting me to invest in a sewing machine but I would never do this stuff so well. If you work on commission, if you do curtains, I’ll start shopping for vintage fabric right now.

No worries. I’ll go back to Plan A: a visit to Caravane. Long curtains are a hassle and life is short.
