A lazy cushion!

Ok, so I am a teacher on holidays, recovery time... And what am I doing on my first day off? Making cushions for school. My little Kinders love to curl up on our cushy cushions when they're feeling a bit sick or tired.

I didn't want to spend ages on these, in fact, they took only a few minutes of time to knock up. I got a long bit of fabric ($3 - Big W) and it had an ok selvedge, so the selvedge became the 'flaps' for the cushion.


I wrapped the fabric around the cushion (inside out) and pinned the unfinished edges  in place, ready to be stitched by sewing machine. 
 Then turn inside and place over pillow or cushion.

Finished result:
Not as secure as a properly stitched cushion, but it will do for school just nicely!
