FLORAL STEMS CUSHION

A plain cushion is transformed when it is embellished with delicate floral Suffolk puffs in a range of pastel shades. Sewn to a cushion cover with a contrasting top stitch, some also have a coloured central disc. Buttons or circles of fabric can be used for the centre of the flowers, but consideration should be given to the type of button, as this could cause discomfort when sitting against the cushion. Simple leaves of green felt are sewn and stems added by overstitching scraps of green yarn with a slightly darker shade of green thread. The stems can be straight or curved to give the impression of flowers swaying in the breeze.
