I’ve been experimenting…

I’ve had in mind to have a go at making a peacock cushion for a while now. I just thought; all those bright patterned fabrics, it might work…

So, having been all creatively fired up to try new things by yesterday’s sewing course, I had a go at sketching one out.

Then I got out the calico and made up a trial run version.

I learned a lot from my pilot peacock. There are things I will change.

It’s head is too square. I need to work on the shape a bit. And the decorative bits on the tail. And the feet are too small.

But all in all, I don’t dislike it.

It is a peacock with potential.

And it makes a decent backrest for my sewing chair… ♥
