30 minute mash up

From a shirt to a cushion in 30 minutes.

You will need:
 - Paper
 - Pencil
 - Ruler
 - Cushion filler (I bought mine from Wilkinson for £1.35)
 - An old shirt large enough to cover the cushion
 - Scissors
 - Sewing machine

Instructions:

Make the pattern - Measure the width of the cushion, draw a square of the same size onto paper, add 1cm seam allowance around all four sides. Cut out.
You should have something that looks like this....

Make the cushion cover - Pin the pattern onto the shirt, lining up the centre with the middle of the buttons. Cut out. Un-fasten the buttons and pin along the button wrap to keep it lined up when sewing. Pin the two squares of fabric right sides together and sew 1cm from the edge. Remove the pins from the button wrap and pull the material through the hole so that the right sides are facing out. You should have something that looks like this....

Finally, put the cushion filler in and fasten the buttons!
