Vintage fabric cushions

We get a thrill out of discovering vintage fabrics and turning them into something useful, beautiful and collectable. Sometimes we find a huge amount of fabric that's been carefully folded and stashed away in a cupboard, perhaps saved to make a frock for a special occasion, and sometimes there's just enough to make one small cushion. All cushions have different fabric, trims and button fastenings on the back to make them extra special.
