bee cushion tutorial

 i got the image over at graphic fairy (where would we be with out it) and used iron on transfer paper to print it on. i didnt need to print it as a mirror image as theres no wording. i cut a square of white fabric, trimmed around the image and put it face down and ironed it on.

 then for the back of the cushion i decsided to use black and white ticking stripe fabric, i measured it out and cut it 30cms larger at one end.

 then i cut it in two peices,  one half bigger that the other, one then i folded over the rough edge and stiched it down then place the peices of fabric on top of the peice with the image on, with image facing up. the two back bits should over lap to make a neat slit to insert cushion.

 then pin it in place and stitch around the whole thing.

 then trim around the excess, and fold the right way around, the back should look like this

 and its done, i like the two different fabrics mixed together
