Finished stitching both cushions finally.. completed faster than i planned initially cos it is less tedious compared to the clock.. the cross stitch squares are bigger and the picture of the bear is printed on the canvas provided so i dun have to count the squares, jus need to follow the colors and stitch which is so much more convenient..
B and mi went to IKEA to buy the inner cushions at $3.50 each, so cheap! den we went to Plaza Sing Spotlight to get fabric to sew on the canvas to act as a backing for the cushion.. i had no prob sewing the 3 sides of the cushion cover.. after stuffing in the cushion, how to seal up the last side??? tried to google for answers but dun understand the instructions, grrrrrr... mum kept giving mi suggestions but dun really know how to execute her ideas into reality.. haha.. so i came up wif my own solutions.. applied 2 different techniques to the 2 cushions.. one i actually sewed a row of small buttons at the bottom to clip it up so the cover is removable from the cushion.. for the second cushion, i wanted to try sewing the bottom side without revealing the threads on the outside.. managed to hide the threads but din grab the fabric properly so at the bottom part abit out of shape.. haha..
can you spot the difference btn the 2 pics? when i was taking pic of the cushions, there was a housefly hanging ard the cushions.. tried to smack it away before i positioned my camera but in the end when i took the pic, still c it in the pic! it's at the top left hand corner of the left cushion in the 1st pic... so gotta chase it away and retake again.. haha..
