Patchwork cushion with botanically dyed scraps sourced from Beagle and Basset, a local dye house. The patchwork side is hand quilted with cotton sashiko thread onto a cotton backing (from a repurposed sheet). The woven side features a two-tone overshot design in second hand linen and vintage wool handed down to me from another weaver who was no longer using it. This weave is inspired by the delicate beauty of light filtering through the leaves in the trees by my old apartment; and was handwoven on Janet, my 16 shaft table loom, in February 2023.
Handwoven fabric front (linen warp, wool and linen weft), naturally dyed patchwork back (cotton, linen)
Handmade mussel shell buttons for the closure
Dimensions : 50 x 50 cm
Inner :Goose feather and down, 55 x 55 cm (included)
Due to the fragile nature of natural dyes, it's best to keep it out of direct sunlight as much as possible to avoid fading / discolouration.
Care
All cushions have been pre-washed and should not shrink, distort or discolour while washing at home.
