STOP...RETHINK....general consensus is that a cushion without frills is like an iPod without tunes! A few prototypes later I've come up with THE solution: frilly sewing-machined edge with an open-able back - it works! Cushions are now available with or without frills and I still get to use my sewing machine! Eg's below:
Having reunited myself with my sewing machine, I've spent the last few weeks working on a new cushion style - I've decided to ditch the frilly edges and go for a much smarter machine-sewn finish with a back that can be opened...the cushions are still 30cm x 30cm, the designs and names still hand-sewn but I'm really pleased with how they look and I LOVE using my sewing machine. I also machine-sew the 'Alice & Charlotte' labels onto the back which looks great! Here are a few of my latest commissions, showing both the front and back...:
I love making things!! Over the past 10 years, my sister Charlotte and I have amassed a variety of creative endeavours from clothes accessorising to handbag making, children's bedroom painting to DIY. I'm currently working on a range of bespoke children's cushions - any name, any design!
Please email me at alice@aliceandcharlotte.co.uk if you would like to commission a cushion - £25 each.
