{"product_id":"acufactum-a-handmade-winter-kit-winter-time-cushion","title":"Acufactum A Handmade Winter KIT {Winter Time Cushion}","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis cushion is such a lovely companion to the \u003cstrong\u003eWinter Time Quilt\u003c\/strong\u003e, using the same beautiful mix of fabrics and colours in a smaller project that would be gorgeous on a chair, bench or tucked into a cozy winter corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front is made from \u003cstrong\u003e24 little patchwork squares\u003c\/strong\u003e cut from coordinating Emma, Dots and Watercolor fabrics. They are arranged into neat rows and sewn using a clever interfacing method that helps keep all of those little squares perfectly aligned without distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the front is a soft \u003cstrong\u003eWatercolor Taupe panel\u003c\/strong\u003e embellished with the beautiful Acufactum \u003cstrong\u003eRobins woven ribbon\u003c\/strong\u003e. The narrow decorative band breaks up the patchwork beautifully and gives the cushion that extra little detail that makes Acufactum projects feel so special. Fusible fleece is added behind the completed front, and the patchwork is then topstitched around each square to add lovely texture and definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back is made from the coordinating \u003cstrong\u003eWintertime Stripes\u003c\/strong\u003e fabric and finished with a zipper. Because of the layers of patchwork and quilting on the front, the book cleverly places the zipper in the back of the cushion rather than along the bottom seam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI really love this one because it has the look of a much more involved patchwork project while still being very manageable. The combination of the little squares, soft quilting and woven robin ribbon gives it such a warm European country feel — and of course it coordinates beautifully with the Winter Time Quilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinished size:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately \u003cstrong\u003e16\" × 16\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended cushion insert:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e16\" × 16\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level: Confident Beginner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*The complete pattern, cutting measurements and sewing instructions for the Cushion Winter Time are found in the \u003cstrong\u003eA Handmade Winter\u003c\/strong\u003e book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*\u003cstrong\u003eKIT INCLUDES all of the coordinating fabrics needed for the patchwork cushion front and back, Watercolor Taupe fabric for the centre panel, Acufactum Robins woven ribbon, fusible interfacing, fusible fleece and 12\" zipper needed to complete the cushion cover.
