About this pattern

Our vintage-style motif cushions would make a great present for dad’s birthday or Father’s Day. The designs have been printed from a rubber stamp onto ordinary paper, tinted with watercolour paints, then photocopied onto printable fabric using a home inkjet printer. Machine embroidery in contrasting black thread frames the vintage prints. Alternatively, why not personalise your cushions with old family photos or hand drawn pictures?

    Make a printed cushion

    1 Cut two 38cm squares from cream lining fabric. With right sides facing, pin and machine stitch around the edges using a 1.5cm seam allowance, leaving a 10cm gap on one side for turning. Turn out and fill with polyester stuffing, then sew up the gap by hand.

    2 Dab a rubber stamp with an inkpad until it is well covered and print the image onto paper. Make several prints until you are happy with the result and the outline is well defined and dense. Enlarge the design by 170% and if necessary, define any weak lines with a fine marker pen. Set a photocopier to dark and print the image again to the same size, onto cream card. Tint the motif with watercolour paint
