After lolling about somewhat dispiritedly for a good proportion of yesterday, I finally took the Twiggy pledge and pulled myself together.
Pleasingly, once I’d got my act together, I managed to get these three cushions finished in an afternoon!
The fabrics are genuine 1950s barkcloths. I backed one of them with interfacing, as it felt a bit thin for it’s intended use.
More midcentury modern than my usual fabric choices, the cushions are a commission for a dentist and destined to spend their days adorning these rather classy chairs in the waiting room:
Hopefully they will offer physical comfort.
But for those – like me – who don’t relish a visit to the dentist, they might also provide a minor distraction before the torture begins 🙂
Loving these fabric designs….but I have to ask you about the ceramics on the photo you have as your shop button? What’s the make etc….they are amazing!!!
Hi Pippa, they are vintage Carlton Ware dishes, from the mid-1960s. I collected them over a number of years – they’re quite rare these days! I wrote about them in a post here.
Wow you were on a roll 🙂
Fabulous fabrics!
Love barkcloth and these look fab…glad Twiggy still working her magic!
