A Cushion for my Great Nephew's Nursery

When I started sewing classes, my niece asked me if I could have a go at
making a cushion for Jack's nursery, as and when I felt able to.
He has a jungle themed nursery, so I have been on the look out for some suitable material.

I recently went to the Whitstable Oyster Fair with a friend, and whilst there we came 

across a fabric shop. On the pavement outside, there were containers of oddments

of material, and this is where I came across the jungle pieces.

My plan was to make an envelope cushion, which I thought would be an 

easy option for a beginner like me. A lesson I have quickly learned - check the

 measurements required before buying random off-cuts! 

All I knew at that time was that I wanted to make a 16" cushion cover, 

hence I bought 2 squares measuring about 18"each. So the only option I had, was to 

make a zipped cover, which I did after watching lots of YouTube tutorials 

and checking Pinterest.

Here's the finished cushion...

 ...and here's the zip

I'm pleased with how it's turned out, and it just goes to show how many tutorials
are available, if you go searching!
