How To Make Our DIY Sun Cushion
Step by step instructions to make your own sun cushion
G’day guys, we're back again and today Imo is going to show you how to make this DIY sun cushion.
Before Imo designed furniture she designed clothes, so we always knew that when the time came we'd sew lots of textiles for our nursery. We thought we’d start off with a simple, but satisfying sewing project that looks great in any room. This is a great beginner sewing project and doesn't require a lot of fabric - so it's perfect for those who have a spare afternoon and want to give it a try.
We've created digital patterns that you can print off and step-by-step instructions for this project which can access them here.
