Halloween has become more and more popular, with decor popping up everywhere! My kids were keen for me to sppokify their rooms, and I thought some cushions would do the trick.
I was of course keen to use the embroidery function on my creative 3.0 for this project. There are lots of great Halloween embroidery designs out there for download. I found the skeletons on Etsy here and the Happy Halloween design on urban threads here.
I used some black polyester suiting for the base, with a layer of whisper web mesh to stabilize.
I used my magnetic hoop and layed up a large piece of the suiting, and cut my cushion size once the embroidery was complete.
I made this one a simple square, with some cute pom pom trim at the sides.
The Happy Halloween design I hooped up in my 260 x 200 hoop with the same combination of fabric and stabilizer.
I had some of this cute Halloween craft print so decided to make this cushion longer by adding a strip at each end.
Rather than buy or make inserts, as these cushions will only we used for a few weeks a year, I stuffed them with some toy fill, which I'll remove once Halloween is over so they can be stored flat.
With 5 kids in my house, two cushions is not going to cut it! Time to go into mass production! The great thing about these designs is you can change it up so easily by changing the shape of the cushion, or the print you pair it with to create lots of different looks without having to purchase multiple designs.
