Just had to share my wet weekend project!
Last week I saw this gorgeous cushion with appliqued coral design, http://www.google.com.au/imgres?q=coral+applique+cushion+covers&biw=1280&bih=823&tbm=isch&tbnid=8ylkLNsRc00-WM:&imgrefurl=http://www.allmodern.com/Balanced-Design-Hand-Printed-Branch-Pillow-LBRA-BDN1013.html&docid=59ndgvNTfpu2kM&imgurl=http://common1.csnimages.com/lf/49/hash/5844/2037150/1/Balanced-Design-Coral-Applique-Pillow.jpg&w=400&h=400&ei=rOyrUbPVKYyfkQWrsIHIAQ&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=125&page=1&tbnh=140&tbnw=176&start=0&ndsp=35&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0,i:84&tx=100&ty=84 however we wanted it for our beach house which we use as a holiday let and there was no way I was spending $100+ on a cushion. So I picked up a pack of 2 covers from Lincraft for $10 and some felt in blue and white. I made a template of the design and cut out and sewed the felt coral design on over an afternoon.
I think it looks pretty good for about $7!
