Sew our Eiffel Tower cushions

Sewing our Eiffel Tower embroidery cushion kits

What you need

• We recommend using a FriXion pen for markings, as they have the advantage of reacting to heat so the lines will disappear with the heat of an iron. 
• If you have a cutting board, this is ideal.
• You will need some pins, preferably with a glass tip. They are more visible and will not melt if you iron them.
• And, of course, a good pair of scissors for cutting the the fabrics.
• Stuffing for the cushion. For a more refined result, we recommend making a slightly smaller cushion in white cotton.

Cutting the embroidery and fabrics

• Iron the embroidery on the wrong side and cut the excess linen around the motif to obtain a rectangle measuring 12 x 22cm.
  The video will show you a method to simply achieve this using tracing paper, so you cannot go wrong.
• Cut three pieces from the Sajou fabric: two measuring 12 x 22cm and another measuring 32 x 22cm for the back.
• Iron them.

Assembling the front of the cushion

• Assemble the two small rectangles with the embroidered linen, right sides together.
• Tack and stitch at 1cm from the edge.
• Press open the seams with an iron.

Assembling the front and the back of the cushion

• Stitch the “Créé par moi„ label on the backing fabric on the bottom right.
• Place front and back right sides together, tack and stitch at 1cm from the edge, leaving an opening of roughly 5cm, preferably at the bottom.
• Pink the corners and press open seams with an iron.
