Have you ever thought something was a good idea – then it turned out not so good after all? That’s what happened to me when I made new cushions for our newish caravan. The cushions I made were OK, but didn’t quite have the look I was going for. I put up with not liking them for a few months, then decided enough was enough – they had to go. As I didn’t like my original fabric choice after all, I needed a rethink. What to do? Finally I had a light-bulb moment, and ordered some furnishing fabric from the factory in Hamilton where our caravan was built, as used in the caravan seating. After waiting weeks and weeks it finally arrived by courier, and I remade the caravan cushions.
So I cut, and stitched, and got them all together. I’m rather pleased with how they turned out, and being made from the same heavy fabric as the seating, I think they look very smart. What do you think?

And these are the first cushions I made. Which do you like better? Please choose version two!

I like both! But mostly it tickles me to see all that red in your caravan ;-)
Definitely #2 version, super design, maybe the others will do for spares if absolutely necessary.Not that I don't like the design, just the fabric and the way you made them is the best, at least IMHO ( in my humble opinion) !!
Oh no Maryanne - that's not red at all. I don't like red - it's actually burgundy.
Luv both....but the 2nd set which I think you appliquéd would really "pop" with the burgandy trim you've used on the new cushions! The you can use both sets!
And here I was going to say I like the red too! :-)
Love the new set you made Jenny...
I can see where you were going with version one. If you prefer version two, that is all that matters.
I really love the version 2 cushions. They make the caravan look glam and are very easy on the eye. Coordination is always a winner!
