Tokyo Sunrise + Twilight Cushion [Zipper + Pointy Corner Removal Tutes]

Tokyo Sunrise + Twilight Cushion with tutes @madebyChrissieD.com

My sofas have been bare of cushions for 5 years now.  That's really hard for me to admit.  I love a good cushion, I write tutes for cushions, and I used to have my own interior design company.

So how come I don't have cushions piled high on every sofa, chair and bed in my apartment?

Mini Butterfly Pillow Cushion


Working through my UFO/WIPs for January and it seemed like time to finish this project I started back in December 2012!  Way back then I pattern tested an FPP butterfly 6" block for Juliet @The Tartankiwi and said I'd make it into a cushion to sell alongside a matching baby quilt in my soon-to-be Etsy shop.  The quilt was already made but the cushion and the Etsy shop have never materialised, until now!!!

Tute: No More Empty Corners (aka Bunny Ears)

No More Empty Corners (aka Bunny Ears) Tute by www.madebyChrissieD.com

Bunny ears - you know those floppy bits when your pillow cushion insert just doesn't reach into the corners.  
Do you just live with them or do you grab some polyester fibre fill and stuff them to make them look full and plump?

I'm going to show you how to get rid of them altogether.
