Silk Cushion

I made this cushion as a gift for a friend - it's made from a lovely silk off-cut!

I embroidered the hearts on my sewing maching and then hand-sewed the sequins and beads on!

It's dual sided so hopefully if one side doesn't appeal the other will!!!

Finally I wrapped it up...aiming for a vintage look with brown paper, ribbon and hearts!

Am hoping my friend likes her gift!!

Alternative 60th Birthday Card!

I sewed this heart by hand as an alternative to a 60th birthday card and presented it to the recipient in a box!  I just stuffed it with stuffing but a nice alternative idea may have been to stuff with lavendar or even aroma beads scented with her favourite perfume!...maybe next time!
