Over the satin stitch around each panel, I stitched a flower type stitch or you can choose another of the decorative stitches that you have in your machine, there are so many to choose from, this helps to blend all the designs together.

Hand stitch the pearls on each of the panels

Hand stitch the braid.

Sew the piping onto your cushion.

Put a zipper into the back of the cushion.

Hoop pink fabric and thin wadding.

Once you have hooped the fabric and wadding slide the “Tear Away” stabilizer under the hoop.

Stitch out all the panels.

Cut a the pink fabric 60cm or 23.5 inches square.

Mark the centre.

Place all of “Scene Stealing_002” in a circle.

Lightly hot glue each panel onto the pink fabric ( I use the hot glue very sparingly)

Lightly hot glue the centre panel “Scene Stealing_001”

Stitch using a Zigzag stitch over the satin stitch border of each panel

Place all of “Scene Stealing_003” at the top of “Scene Stealing_002”

Lightly hot glue each panel onto the pink fabric ( I use the hot glue very sparingly)

Stitch using a Zigzag stitch over the satin stitch border of each panel.

WARNING these are my dimensions you can make the dimensions either larger or smaller and the dimensions can also very, due to the weight and type of fabric you have used for your background fabric.

I just cut up a number of used printed paper for the template and stuck them together with painters tape.

Mark your circle using chalk or fabric pen.

Then stitch 1cm or .4inch from your chalk line, this helps the fabric not to stretch when you will be doing the seam in the future.

Cut as close as you can to the stitched area using your scissors.

Cut out the bottom panel for your poof at this time.

The above photo showing the circle all cut out.

Over the satin stitch around each panel, stitch a feather stitch or another of the decorative stitches that you have in your machine, there are so many to choose from this helps to blend all the designs together.

I also satin stitched around the circle and then over the top of the satin stitch I stitched the feather stitch, this just gives a nice finish.

For the side of the poof measure 164cm or 64 inches in length and 24cm or 10 inches width.

Lightly hot glue a panel onto the pink background fabric ( I use the hot glue very sparingly)

Stitch using a Zigzag stitch over the satin stitch border of each panel

The above photo showing you gluing each panel down separately and then zigzag stitch over the satin stitch border.

Over the satin stitch around each panel, stitch a feather stitch or the same decorative stitch that you had used on the top of the poof.

Hand stitch the side panel to the top of the poof, this way you can manipulate the fabric so the two panels will match up perfectly, leaving where you matched up the panels, excess fabric as you will be hand stitching the two panels to interlock and you will need that extra fabric.

Photo showing you the finished hand stitching for the side panel to the top of the poof.

Machine stitch over your hand stitching but do not machine stitch towards the end of the panel as you need to hand stitch the two panels together, the following photo will show you.

Hand stitch the two last panels so they can interlock, notice the excess fabric I recommend you use a coloured thread that you can easily see, so it will be easy to cut the threads after you have machined stitched the panel together.

Zigzag stitch over the your hand stitching.

Cut away the excess fabric.

Photo above showing the panels interlocking.

For the base of the poof cut the panel in half, having enough excess fabric for the zipper.

Stitch the zipper into the base of the poof.

Open up your zipper before doing the following. I sometimes forget this stage!

Stitch the base to the side panel.

I added along the edge a mauve braid. Which I hand stitched on.

I then added the pink glass tassels, I purchased these gorgeous tassels when I was in India, so pleased I could finally use them.

Steel wool ( I read that steel wool is very good for your pins as the steel wool sharpens the pin and needles)

.5 me0ter or .5 yard of scrap fabric to make the bag to put the steel wool into

Glue the bag of steel wool and silk fabric to the base of the cup
