Sushi. Jan 2021 12:47pm, 18 Jan 2021 24,096 posts	Quote Pin Sushi. Thank you all. I think she’ll love it. For those of you that sew it was remarkably easy. Measured the picture and surrounding material to work out what size cushion I could make. Ironed a medium weight interfacing on to ‘stabilise’ the stretchiness of fabric. Cut a square with 1/2inch seam allowance out of front. Using the bottom hem of tshirt measured the same width with the length so it would finish half way down back of cushion. Other back piece I made 3inches longer after swam and hem allowance. Sewed hem. Pinned together (right sides together) and sewed round all 4 sides. Turned it the right way out. Envelope cushion cover with original tshirt hem visible at back which is a nice feature.
