Cushions from knitted Sweater/jumpers



I love these cushions as they look so good, you can also cover any size cushion insert you like but today we are using a 16/16

You will need

1.One jumper-sweater and I  like to ones with buttons and this tutorial is for buttoned

2.Fabric to the back if you don't want to make the cushion cover double sided.

 3 pre-made cushion insert

Cut the sweater 17/17 for a 16/16 pillow

Keep the sleeves as you can use them for other things


Keep the hem as it adds character to the overall look



Put your jumper square onto the fabric square and hem or pin then stitch all the way around.
Remember to make the corners round and not a 45 degree (point)
Use a Sturdy needle and make a wider edge as wools moves and can be tricky to sew as it stretches


Cut the corners and turn in the right way, un-button the front and insert the cushion insert
