The main fabric is Echino "Chelsea Lion" aqua double gauze, along with some matching blue linen to make a fairly basic pillow as I could not bring myself to cut the fabric up any further.
I used a decorative stitch with some variegated yellow Gutermann thread to sew along the edge of the linen - I wish now that I had done a few more rows of stitching in the linen.
And of course Simba came to investgate what I was doing .......here he is giving the Echino Lion the evil eye:)

ReplyDeleteThe pillow is amazing! Hilarious cat photo - can't tell if he (she?) approves or if it's a stare down with that lion!
ReplyDeleteOooh, very nice! Sun though, I vaguely remember it, but it's been a few weeks...
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely pillow! I have one yard of echinops that I am slowly using - just a little bit at a time.
ReplyDeleteI love the pillow! Aren't Echino fabrics great?! Whatever project I use them for - the results are always great! I just wish they weren't as pricy...
ReplyDeleteWonderful pillow! And Simba is so cute ;)
