Making
a cushion out of silk in a seasonal colour and placing it on a special chair can give a
festive air to any room. Silk is a really luxurious fabric that lends itself well to
Christmas accessories. Silver grey or antique gold I feel work particularly well,
especially if the corners are decorated with metallic tassels. You might well come to like
your cushion so much that it stays in place all year round!
This particular cushion is made of
grey-silver silk.
It
has an interlined front cover with a top stitched border and decorative pin tucks.
Metallic tassels in the corners add that finishing touch.
