I have been planning these cushions for at least 2 years but life got in the way. I was determined to weave them this year and now they are finally finished. I am extremely happy with how they have turned out.
I put on enough warp for 6 of them. I knew from my last cushions that the 5/2 cotton i have been using shrinks by about 3 inches after hot washing and running the fabric through the dryer, so I added about 2 more inches to my warp calculations .
The pattern that I picked is from somewhere on Pinterest and looked very busy on Paper but I put it into the iWeaveIt app and played around with the colours that i would be using and it ended up looking really nice. I chose Black and brown with a black weft.
Once again i used woven interfacing on the back of my fabric and finished with an invisible zip .
Here is my lovely new cushions.
