British Inspired Cushions :)

Below are a few images of the cushions I took to New Designers.  

I created 8 different cushions all based around the current British trend.  I wanted to look at different things which 'Make Britain Great'.  I focused on cockney rhyming slang with phrases such as 'Dog and Bone" and 'Rosie Lee' but also looked at iconic figures such as The Duke of Wellington and the Royal family.

Here are all 8 cushions just after being stitched together :) 

I enjoyed the whole process of designing and making this collection.  I loved working with the wooden stamp blocks, the illustration as well as finally sewing up the cushions.  I am really pleased with the final outcomes and think the colours work really well together.
