Caravan Cushions–done

All done, I’m pleased to say, six new cushions for the caravan.  I ordered some matching upholstery fabric used in the caravan, and only just had enough.  The patterned grey fabric on the fronts was from a piece left over from making cushions for our previous caravan.  The fabric was reasonably thick, so it was necessary to use the walking foot, and to make matters worse, prone to unravel as I was stitching the cushion pieces together.  So I zig zagged the seams, that should stop it unravelling any further.

New cushions for the caravan

I think Gemma was feeling a bit “Bah, Humbug” about Christmas last night – look what I found this morning.  She had taken a swipe at the Selvedge Christmas Tree wall hanging  overnight and left it swinging!  I can’t really tell her off since I didn't see it happen.

you might have to keep the cat shut in the bedroom at night so she can't get to the Christmas decorations! I have heard of some who get up in the morning to find several (or more) decorations off the tree and a bit of a mess.
Your cushions turned out really good - have a fun trip

Your cushions look beautiful and what a wonderful big window. I'm sure you find plenty of lovely views to camp beside and get a lot of enjoyment from that window.
Wishing you both a very merry Christmas.

Love the cushions - the color is lovely.

Haha! I confess to putting Gemma up to stealing your selvage tree wall hanging! She was supposed to pack it and mail it to me, but she chickened out. Please accept my apologies and don’t tell my Mom! Darla the Cat.

Naughty pussy cat Darla trying to lead Gemma astray. Tell your Mom to make her own!

The cushions look great. The older fabric coordinated perfectly. I'm sure Gemma meant no harm and she was just channeling her inner kitten.

Fantastic finish on your cushions. They look lovely in your van.
