Instructions

  1. Decide what size you want your floor cushion and add 1cm for seam allowance. Cut out the desired size from the duvet cover making sure you have the required picture in the centre.

  2. Cut another piece of fabric the same size from your back fabric choice.

  3. Pin right sides together. Sew around the pieces leaving a gap for turning.

  4. Turn right side out and stuff. Sew gap closed.
