I wonder if it’s World Cup frenzy or the spontaneous appearance of flags on cars and rooftops that has made me feel patriotic! Whatever inspired this project, I have just loved making this Union Jack cushion cover; everything came from my scrap bag apart from the cushion pad which cost next-to-nothing from Ikea. The best bit about this project is that my husband’s favourite shirt, worn out but much loved, has a new life as part of this trendy cushion…I love recycling …oh, and just for the record… girls outnumber boys in our household, so no, football was not the inspiration!
