Completed Box Cushions

Another completed project.  This is the stack of the three box cushions that I just completed for the interior decorator.

The fabric was a lovely textured stripe - some of the blue stripes were a little like velour - very soft!

It was an upholstery weight, so the multiple layers were interesting to work with (ok, difficult), mainly where the welt ends overlapped.

Really, the hardest part of making this kind of cushion is getting the padded foam in correctly.

If box cushions are something you are interested in, feel free to contact me.

More "Special" Projects

Not that I really needed new valances in our bedroom, but hey, I got the fabric 50% off original price, then an additional 20% off that - so why not?

Not that I have fabric to make new valances and sheers for the dining room windows that I've had for something like 10 years (actually I think it's more like 6), and I still just have it - not completed valances and sheers.

But I do think they turned out pretty cute!

The color in the photo is a little off - the walls are a sage green.  The valance is purple flowers on a tannish background with green leaves.  It's an upholstery weight fabric, and I dug in my trim box and found a matchiing purple and tan cording.

Of course, now I need a new dust ruffle....
