I was looking through my fabric stash the other day wondering what I could make next - don't worry, there are a million and one projects that I *plan* to make, it really just depends on the order!
So I find a preloved denim skirt to upcycle. Then I spotted a red shirt with the dinkiest little daisies all over it. Hmmm. It's looking rather British to me. So I add a preloved tablecloth and the idea is beginning to form.
I have enough denim to make a cushion cover, thinks I, and I haven't appliqued anything in a while.
Yes, I will make a cushion cover with the Union Jack on it.
It was great fun seeing it all come together, even though the tablecloth fabric did begin to look like an octopus before I had appliqued it to the denim - there were 'arms' everywhere!
The back was made with a tuck-in design. I did consider adding Velcro (not quite the look I was after) and/or a button, but thought that that might be a bit uncomfortable in the middle of the back!
And this is the skirt that the main fabric came from. Just so you know!
I do love a fun project!!

Cute! I do love a good Union Jack. (Probably all the UK in my ancestry.)
