This is the cushion. I made some changes from last weekend's attempts. My fabric ruler and rotary cutter had arrived from Amazon. I cut a square 40cm x 40cm and it was very square this time (unlike last weeks) I cut two pieces for the back 40cm x 30cm. The crochet square was backed by the square piece of fabric and the back pieces overlapped like last week. The slightly bigger pieces made for a much better overlap than on the last two cushions. I don't have a walking foot for the sewing machine yet, and I had the same problem as last week with the top layer of fabric moving as I sewed all the layers together.
On finishing the cushion I then made two button holes and attached two buttons to match the colours in the cushion cover. I like the effect of the crochet, it has a look of an argyle jumper, even though it is the crochet shell pattern. I would like to sell crochet cushions like this on the Internet for £15 per cushion. I feel this is a realistic price and it does offer some profit on the cost of making the cushion. What do you think of the cushion? Would you buy one? Would you pay £15 for it? Let me know what you think.
