Stitch a cushion fit the Queen!
I started this cushion back in September 2010 (before they were trendy and for sale in all the shops) and finished it in May 2012.... just in time for the Queen's Jubilee.

Step 1Cut a piece of aida cloth to the size you'd like your finished cushion to be with an extra centimetre around the edges.
-
Step 2Measure out the Union Jack on the fabric with a pencil and ruler. Make sure you get the widths of the diagonal lines correct... these are tricky.
-
Step 3Attach the aida cloth to a tapestry frame and thread your needle with red yarn.
-
Step 4Start by stitching the first row of the middle cross.
-
Step 5Keep stitching rows until you reach the middle of the cross, then tie off your yarn and continue at the other side of.
-
Step 6Stitch the middle of the cross in row by row.
-
Step 7Now stitch the white edging around the cross.
-
Step 8Stitch the red and white diagonal lines... making sure to get the pattern correct.
-
Step 9Now stitch in all the blue and see the Union Jack take shape. It's a tedious process but it'll look great when it's finished!
-
Step 10Lay your finished tapestry face down on to your fabric for the back, with the right side facing up.
-
Step 11Pin around the edges and trim the backing fabric to size, leaving a small margin around the edges.
-
Step 12Sew around the cushion, either by hand or with a sewing machine leaving a small section unstitched.
-
Step 13Turn the cushion right side out.
-
Step 14Stuff the cushion until it's nice and full.
-
Step 15Stitch up the open edge and you're all done.
-
Step 16Well done... that was a lot of work!
