Note: Read all the instructions
before starting the project.
Requirements are based on
fabric 107cm (42in) wide. Val
used a subtle forest print fabric
for her cushion. A^1 ⁄ 4 in seam
allowance is used throughout.
Use one thickness of the Perlé/
Pearl thread and machine-sewing
thread and two strands of
stranded cotton unless stated
otherwise. Use the crewel needle
for stranded and machine-sewing
cotton, the size 22 chenille
needle for the Perlé/pearl cottons
and the darner for the bullion and
cast-on loops. This design uses
some embroidery stitches that
might be new to you – we have
photo tutorials of all of them
on the blog on our website.
Instructions are provided for
using the printed Pattern Sheet
in the magazine, but you can
also download the digital
pattern from http://www.homespun.
