Having got myself in a cushion-making mood following Geri's birthday, I decided to make a cover for a floor cushion I bought in Ikea a little while ago. The fabric is also all Ikea (I'm not a huge fan of the shop but I do have a weakness for the textiles department!) and because it is thick upholstery material I didn't get issues with it sliding all over the place as I have done before when using silk. So it was quick and easy to make (I think I got it all done in an afternoon), including making buttonholes and adding an appliquéd bird from one my offcuts.
This is now my favourite cushion for leaning against when I'm sitting on my bed skyping my boyfriend in London :-)
