Christmas Joy Cushion for Thermoweb

November 22, 2019 By Lauren at Molly and Mama 1 Comment

Being a Fabric Education Designer for the Thermoweb brand means that I’m regularly sharing tutorials for sewing projects I’ve designed. The brief for this month was Christmas Cushion. Sometimes having a brief helps to narrow down what you want to do. But sometimes it’s still difficult to decide!

Joy Pillow Tutorial

I’m a self-confessed Christmas-aholic and I love everything about decorating for the holiday season. Last year I purchased a new tree and updated my colour theme to pinks and rose golds. I’m secretly a little bit obsessed!

I knew I wanted to create a simple cushion design that would complement my tree, but also match with my current lounge room decor. So I decided to stick with something simple and elegant. The pillow cover is made with neutral linen and features a bit of sparkle with a rose gold, glitter felt, appliqué. I chose the word ‘Joy’ because it sums up the holiday season but is also a happy sentiment for the whole year too!

The stunning rose gold, glitter felt, came from My Felt Lady. Candice has the most amazing range of wool felt products! It was the perfect choice for the appliqué and Thermoweb’s Heat’n’Bond UltraHold will keep it firmly in place!

I added a little bit of hand quilting for interest and made the back of the cushion cover with an envelope style of opening. It couldn’t be easier!

If you’d like to read the full tutorial to make your own cushion cover, please head to the Thermoweb blog. This is a lovely project for your own living room, or perhaps you’ll gift one to a friend this Christmas.

Happy stitching, Lauren x

After finishing my Summer Rose Pouch, I’m now wo After finishing my Summer Rose Pouch, I’m now working on a simple quilt made with @mabletandesigns new ‘Birds and Blooms’ collection with @pbsfabrics. I think it will be the perfect picnic companion. I love the way Mable’s prints and colours work together 🦜🌼.

🪡NEW INSTA CHALLENGE! WHO’S IN?🪡 Like man 🪡NEW INSTA CHALLENGE! WHO’S IN?🪡

Like many of you, the new year has already begun with lots of sewing and fun in my studio. But sometimes the aftermath of all of that creating and making is overwhelming. I'm not convinced my sewing space is working for me, or that I have everything set up so that I can use my space, supplies and materials as easily as possible. I'd love to be more intentional about the way I use my sewing studio. My friend Ali from @arabesquescissors feels exactly the same way! 

For the month of February, Ali and I are going to co-host an instagram challenge that helps us sort out what's working in the studio, what's not, and what we can do about it. We'd be really thrilled if you joined us on the journey! We’ll be using the hashtag #seworderly to help bring you tips and tricks that are organised into weekly themes. We’d love to hear your tips too. Between all of us, we’re sure this amazing community can share some wonderful ideas! 

To celebrate the lead up to our challenge, we’re asking you to post a photo on your public profile using the #seworderly hashtag, and sharing where you’d like some organisational help. Who’ll share a ‘before’ shot of their sewing space 🙋🏼‍♀️? 

We’ll be sharing more in the coming week about how to join in and as a little incentive there’ll even be some prizes up for grabs! Follow @mollyandmama and @arabesquescissors to stay in the loop. I’m really looking forward to getting #seworderly! Are you?

Well my sneak preview has turned into a pouch! I d Well my sneak preview has turned into a pouch! I decided to use @mabletandesigns’ fabric ‘Birds & Blooms’ (with @pbsfabrics) to sew a new ipad cover using my Summer Rose Pouch pattern. But once I was finished, I realised it was perfect for a portable sewing kit too. I’m starting on a new colourway of the Nan’s Garden Stitchery in the hoop here. @creative_abundance wholesale the preprinted linens and creative cards for this project. But I will also have the PDF pattern ready to go in the next week!

🐰🌸 Who’s thinking about Easter sewing alre 🐰🌸 Who’s thinking about Easter sewing already? I designed this little Easter Dilly Bag pattern as a cute little egg holder for chocolate egg hunts (see those front pockets?). But I’m realising that it will also be perfect for storing my #bittybunnies and the #rosierabbitornament collection, after Easter too! I also created a Christmas version to hold my felt gingerbread ornaments (scroll down my feed to see). 

You can find this pattern in my shop and stores can order wholesale from @creative_abundance 🐰🌸
