paw proofed

modflowers: paw proof cushions!I have been busy this weekend. Working on commissions.

My sister is a lover of my vintage fabrics, so amongst the commissions on my to do list are a number of items for her own personal shopping list.

Including these two cushions.

Because my sister has a very large and naughty dog. An Irish Wolfhound called Aihlbe (pronounced Al-bee).

They don’t mix well with white cotton.

Dog slobber, mud and that wiry wolfhound hair spring to mind.

But hopefully I’ve managed to make them just a little more paw proof than usual. ♥

  1. They’re gorgeous! I love the green fabric! I got some strong grey fabric last time I was at Ikea, thinking I would use it for cushion cover backs – it has a large floral print, though, so won’t work with everything…
