About this item
I made the front of this cushion with a random patchwork of cotton and poly/cotton fabrics in blues, greys and yellows. I backed it with two layers of fabric and then machine stitched with diagonal rows of stitching in light grey thread. The reverse is a navy blue cotton print with four small navy buttons fastening across the middle. This was originally the front of a man's shirt and I has been lined with cream cotton lining fabric. The inside seams have been overlocked for strength and neatness. Measures about 14 inches squares and comes complete with a new polyester filled cushion. This item is one of a kind and ready to ship. I usually send out next day using second class postal service in order to keep shipping costs as low as possible, so if you would prefer first class, please get in touch. Item will be wrapped in new tissue paper, while outer packaging may be recycled. I'll combine postage on multiple purchases if possible, so please see my other items and excellent reviews.

There is an upcycled element to this cushion, in that the back came from a man's nice quality shirt. I cut this shirt up because I needed fabric to make some men's face masks and my stash is rather pink and floral! Once lined, the front of the shirt made a very neat opening for the back of the cushion. I save all the fabric off cuts from my other projects and join them together to make a new unique and colourful item. Lengthy work, but very satisfying!
