Feather Cushion - Feat. Indian Summer

Project by Jo Eldred

Fabric: Indian Summer, a collaboration with the V&A


I made an Applique Rough edge Feather cushion, using an embroidery file from SWPEA and using my Brother V3 Embroidery Machine.


What you'll need:

  • 6x10 hoop (160mm x 260mm) hoop

  • PANEL 1 AND PANEL 3

  • Fabric A – 2x 20cm x 30cm (8”x 12”) background

  • Small pieces of fabric for the feather applique – 14 feather pieces per panel

Finished dimensions - 30cmW x 50cmL (12”x 20”)



How to make:

Following the steps on the Embroidery machine, you place each piece of fabric down, stitch the line and then trim as close as possible using Duckbill scissors.



I made 2 feather sections, placed them facing Right Sides Together and stitched them together using a ¼ seam.



Cut 4 strips to edge the cushion, stitched right sides together.



I ironed the seams open and now want to make a zipped closure cushion cover.


Stitch the front cushion with a plain piece of fabric, I stitched the long edge then lay the two pieces open and iron flat. Lay the zip face down and sew using a zipper foot, Unpick the seam to expose the zip.



Then open the zip and then stitch around all 4 edges turn the cushion right side out and stuff.
