A striking patchwork memory cushion is perfect if you have more than one precious item of clothing to choose from.
Ideally 2 -9 items of clothing are required. The front panel will be made up of 9 squares with the choice of the back panel also being patchwork or made from one item.
The finished cushion will measure approximately 18"/ 45cm, will include the inner pad, be fully lined and have an envelope back fastening.
Personalised Embroidery
If you have opted for an embroidered rectangle or heart patch you can have any wording.
A rectangle will hold more wording than a heart patch so is more suitable for longer verses or if you want to incorporate a design such as butterflies. The heart patches will include a small embroidered heart at the bottom.
Take a look at our examples for ideas or supply your own wording and make it truly personal just for you. Please double check your instructions for personalisation as wording will be exactly as you have sent it including spaces and punctuation. Embroidery colour will be chosen to compliment the cushion colours however If you have a preference add a note in the special instructions. Patches will either be made from the item supplied or on a white wool felt depending on which is more suitable.
