New cushions can give a room a brand new look. Since the finished cushions are quite expensive, I headed for Abakhan to look for fabric and cording. I chose a curtain fabric and got the cording from oddments box. For the inner cushions I bought ordinary pillows and made them into squares. I marked the long sides into the desired size, cut the bag open at one end, forced filling down, attach the pins and sewed it shut.
That made sure I got tightly filled square cushions. For the opening I used Velcro. I had just light brown cording, so I decided to use bleach and got a dark yellow cording. By the time I had finished I had made different cushions using two shades of cording and both sides of fabric. I am really happy with the result!
Uued diivanipadjad loovad toale uue näo. Kuna valmis padjad on üsna kallid, seadsin sammud Abakhani poole materjali otsima. Pealiskangaks valisin kardinariide, kandipaela sain jääkide kastist. Täidispatjadeks ostsin tavalised padjad ja tegin need ruudukujuliseks. Märkisin pikemale küljele vajaliku mõõdu, lõikasin padja ühest otsast lahti, surusin täidise allapoole kuni märgitud kohani, kinnitasin nööpnõeltega ja õmblesin kinni. Nii sain tihedalt täidetud ruudukujulised padjad.
Kandipaela õmblemiseks mul spets jalga polnud, aga hakkama sain. Kinnis on takjapaelaga. Kandipael oli pruun. Pistsin osa sellest valgendajasse ja sain tumekollase paela. Nii ongi erinevad kandipaelad ja katteriidel on kasutatud nii kanga paremat kui ka pahemat poolt. Tulemusega olen rahul!
