Handmade Thursday - Note to self; button sewing is tedious


I have made myself some bed cushions.
I finished the front one today, having decided it would be nice to embellish it with a nice heart motif.


I'd forgotten how I'm not a big fan of hand sewing - especially not button sewing!
Still, it's done now, and I quite like it.
(Husband not so pleased, pointless, flowery cushions are not a man thing.)

  8. Must be a button day today... I got my basket out and sorted through to see if I had enough buttons to make some jewellery with but sadly wasn't inspired. Do love your cushions tho', my OH would think the same, he complains each time he makes the bed about the cushions that adorn it...unless something has a practical use he doesn't see any point in having it! And looking pretty does not equally a practical use.
