HOW TO MAKE A STAR CUSHION
MATERIALS
50cm x 140cm (19¾ x 45 1 /8) velvet fabric
Gold tassel
Two 29mm (1¼) metal cover buttons
Toy stuffing
Thread
Tailor’s chalk
Needle
The festive shape of this project is a fun level-up for beginner sewists. It’s stuffed so doesn’t require a fiddly fastening and the button detail in the centre gives it a lovely squishy texture.
We’ve gone for velvet to add a luxe feel that‘s especially suited to this time of year. If you‘re confident, you can play around with different fabrics to match your décor.
01 Using the template provided on page 81, draw around two star shapes on the back of the velvet and cut them both out as neatly as possible.
02 Lay the two star shapes right sides (RS) together and pin. Velvet has a nap so make sure the fabric has the smoothness going downwards. Mark the ‘top’ with a pin or using tailor’s chalk to make a mark on the back of the fabric.
