Black and White Gingham Cushion  |
| | |
 | The black and white gingham rectangle cushion I made the centre panel puffy by adding wadding. Have a larger piece of fabric than the black fabric to sandwich the two fabrics together |
|
 | Once you have the amount of wadding to give the puffy look, pin the black fabric and backing fabric together with the wadding sandwiched between the two |
|

|
 | Stitch all around the centre panel using your machine with a straight stitch |

|
 | Cut from the centre of the black and white gingham a rectangle. Pin the puffy centre panel onto the black and white gingham as shown in the photograph |
|
 | I left over night a number of books on top of the puffy centre. Do not worry it will be still puffy but not over the top |
|
 | Stitch the puffy centre piece using your straight stitch. Stitch over the straight with a zigzag stitch and then stitch over the zigzag stitch using a satin stitch |
|
 | In the enlarged photograph you will see where I have used the satin stitch and then stitched on the black and white poker dot ribbon |
|
 | This is a scan of the actual drawing I did. As you can see it is a very rough drawing for the Charlotte design |

Black and White Gingham Round Cushion
|
| | |
 | Stitch the design out on a nice linen.
Using a saucer or something that is slightly larger than the design. |
|
 | Mark either using a blue pen or chalk. This will be where you will tack the the black and white gingham down |
|
 | By using the gingham I was able to make evan pleats by pinning |
|
 | Stitched over the pleats I had made using the pins with a straight stitch |
|
 | Using the blue pen marking I was able to make a nice circle surrounding the design |
|
 | Stitched down the pleated section over the white linen. This is back of the design |
|
 | I added a panel for the sides once again using the black and white gingham |
|
 | To hide the pleating I stitched on a simple black braid |
