TASTER: Fast Cushion Cover with Valerie Nesbitt
FREE Tasters (Quilting) • Educational, G, 01-Mar-2018
Using the fabric she created with Craig Joubert, Valerie first does some double needle quilting, and then shows you how to turn a Fat quarter of fabric, very quickly, into a cushion cover – just a couple of edges to neaten off and then sew up the sides.
This idea is just one of the 28 very clever projects in the Crafting with Marbling 4 Fun book by Christelle Joubert – where she also suggests how to make the cushion filler as well.
