Here are some cushions I made from some vintage fabric I have had for years. My Mum bought the fabric as a pair of curtains in a hotel sale in the 1960s, and they hung in the dining room of my childhood home for ages. Then, when I left home and moved into a cottage in the Cotswolds, she gave them to me, and they adorned my dining room until we moved house, and they didn't fit any of my windows. 

Languishing at the bottom of an old trunk, I had forgotten all about them, until I happened upon them recently whilst searching for something else! I made the cushion covers envelope style, fastened by 2 mother of pearl buttons. I love the faded, almost tea-stained appearance of the fabric, and the fact that it has a long history, much of it as part of my childhood and onwards.
