Toadstool Cushion Tutorial

A free pattern, just for you lovelies. Â I am more than happy for you to use this pattern at your discretion. Â However, I would appreciate if you publish this pattern in any shape or form, please link back to here. Thank you, Jacinta x

This is a great project where kids can join in the fun of crafting by helping you stuff the cushions.

Note: I used an overlocker to sew my cushions, so didn’t use a seem allowance as I sewed the edges directly. Â If using a sewing machine add a 0.5cm seam allowance. Â For extra security, use an overlocking stitch or zigzag stitch on edges remembering to leave a gap for stuffing.

Requirements to make up to 8 cushions:

110cm x 150cm wide red spotted polar fleece or fabric of choice
110cm 150cm wide plain red or white polar fleece or fabric of choice
1kg synthetic stuffing
Contrasting thread
Sharp scissors
Sewing machine or overlocker
Taylors chalk or fabric pencil/pen for tracing
Pins

Using a dinner plate or something round with an approximate diameter of 30cm (30.5cm if using sewing machine) trace eight circles on both the spotted fleece and plain fleece. Â Cut out circles. Â With right sides of circles facing, pin one piece of spotted fleece to one piece of plain fleece.
