Next? OK then.
This one I made during my year 7 or 8 textiles lesson. We got to choose the fabrics that were going to be sewn in from a big bin full that lived in the classroom. I have absolutely no recollection of picking these or why I did, I must have thought that they were pretty, or perhaps it was all I could find that have similar patterns, either way its what I chose. We also had to draw some sort of picture onto the other 5 patches (see picture for my awesome bananas and apples!!! Testament to my amazing drawing skills right there) Again, I have no clue why I chose bananas and apples, although I think I can safely say that it did make mine a bit different from all the rest of the class. I think I went through a couple of different options, one including stars and moons (pretty obvious choice really and wouldn't have looked nearly as awesome as my fruits!!)
Now, the thing I remember most about this cushion cover was that the back kept fooling me!!! I was attempting to sew two panels on so that they overlapped in the middle of the back. However, as amazing as I was at 12 years old, this seemed well out of my grasp and I must have sewed it and un-picked it at least 3 times before I think I eventually got my teacher to do it for me!! To this day it still causes me trouble, but I have managed to thwart all their attempts to be better than me for at least the past 4 or 5 covers i've made!!
