Hello lovely ladies

I haven't posted here for ages but I do lurk and drool over your creations.

Just wondering if you could help me. I am searching for cheap cushion inserts/pads to make my own cushions. Any ideas? I am based in NI.

Thanks in advance.

Wow! loveing the make-overs.
The weather is great I can get outside and start painting things again:j
Just want to show you this bargain I got from the CS the other day
The pegs are magnetic, I will put on my kitchen wall (if I ever finish it , only been painting it since August :rotfl:)
It was only £1.49 and I had just followed the guy in who brough it in

Tara, I just used old pillows for my cushion inserts. I shook all the feathers down to cushion size and then zig zag stitched all the way across a cuple of times. Then trimmed off the left over fabric (a few feathers escaped at this point!). I then measured them and made the cushion covers to fit.
They all need washing now because DD has just smeared greasy horrible suncream all over them by leaning against them Oh well, I'll find out how well they wash soon.

Thanks for the tip-off Kaz! :T What a fab idea. I'll try that.

I can't see your pics at work ladies, no idea why! I can only see them on my home PC.

Great tip Kaz.

I LOVE that noticeboard hart44, what a fab bargain!

I can never see the photos either, can anyone tell me how to? Do I need to adjust my settings?

Gorgeous! I would love to have something like this in my kitchen - its very nostalgic which is in vogue atm although I have not heard of blue moon soap myself.:T:T
