Cushions and Bunting

A few months ago I had some fabric samples printed with a few of my designs. I was recently inspired to make these into bunting and cushions to show alongside the digital prints on paper of the same designs which I’m currently exhibiting in the beautiful tea room Chokolata in Vejer de la Frontera.

Here is a cockerel (which started out as a stencil on wood) being sewn with a contrasting border prior to his edges being frayed.

I also made bunting from the fabric sample printed with my 2CV design (which evolved from my ‘7 Days’ illustration project).

Here are the cushions.

I backed my printed fabric samples with contrasting velvet, cotton and corduroy to make them go further.

 

 

 

The Dragonfly pattern also evolved from my ‘7 Days’ illustration project.
