Winning weave

I enjoy entering the craft category of our local agricultural show. Upon re-reading my old copies of LandScape for ideas, I was inspired by the home projects article, ‘Something new from something old’ in the Nov/ Dec 2017 issue describing how to re-cover a chair seat using old ties. A chair would have been too large, so I decided to make a cushion. At the suggestion of our daughter-in-law, I used the front of a man’s shirt for the cushion back, with a bright handkerchief to emphasise the pocket. At the Cartmel Show, I came 3rd and won £2, which was used to buy an ice cream. Elizabeth Pursell, Cumbria
