I'm looking for cushion pads but I want them to be really good quality, big, feather (maybe) but most definetly not cheap and nasty, floppy, flimsy ones. Would also prefer to pay cheap prices!! Anyone got any recommendations?

I think you may need to use a polyester pad rather than feathers for a cushion that is not too floppy. I have used small pads from John Lewis which were good but I would not describe them as cheap.

I would like a source for good, reasonably priced pads too. I've made 3 cushion covers this week, 1 with a cheap pad and two with quite expensive ones and you can really tell the difference.

Have a look in Dunelm Mill, I think theirs are a nice quality.

I was looking on ebay and found the following

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/freepostuktoday/Cushions-Covers-16-18-20-22-/_i.html?_fsub=1019752011&_sid=963859491&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Matching-Bedrooms-Warehouse/Cushion-Pads-/_i.html?_fsub=898110012&_sid=918698662&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

but I don't know how good they are, the pictures show nicely fluffed up pillows but then they would! I'm tempted by this one

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Homescapes-Factory-Outlet/Natural-/_i.html?_fsub=353656319&_sid=190811939&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

I agree the Dunelm Mills ones are great and they have a big range of sizes and shapes in both fillings.:)

I thought I'd share with you all, hope you don't mind. I've had my second lesson today and made a tote bag, everything I've been asked to do seems Ok so far but it's early days.

Bladerunner, that tote looks fabulous, well done:T I still have my Cath Kidston bag to make from last year's 'Sew' book:eek: I keep putting it off. It sounds like those lessons are going to pay off, if your makes are all going to come out like that:T

Bladerunner, well done. That bag looks great! Really like the fabric you have used. Really suits that style of bag. x
