Otter cushion cover

A work of art for your sofa!

This is a cushion cover featuring a picture of a sweet little otter, appliqued using a variety of vintage and recycled fabrics.

The pieces of fabric which make up the otter have been cut out and finished - either by turning the edges under (for lightweight fabrics) or by zigzagging round the edges with a sewing machine (for heavier fabrics). They have then been hand-stitched onto the front of the cushion, along with the little fish shapes. The cushion front and back have then been sewn together by machine and finished neatly inside using an overlocker.

The background on the front of the cushion is made from a piece of vintage fabric. It's a design called "Spice Island", made for Jonelle / John Lewis. The back of the cushion cover is made from a plain grey furnishing fabric remnant, and has a central opening that fastens with 2 buttons. Because of the mixture of fabrics used, the cushion cover is not washable and should be spot-cleaned if necessary.

It measures 45cm x 45cm. Please note that this listing is for the cushion cover only. Posting cushion pads increases the postage costs considerably, so it's best if you source your own cushion pad locally. 45cm x 45cm is a standard size and that's what I've used for the photos.

Go on - treat yourself!

All of my cushion covers are unique - I use the same design, but vary the fabrics each time.
