Blue Birdsong - Recycled Velvet Handmade Cushion Cover
Spruce up your sofa with this lush, recycled velvet cushion cover featuring a rich pattern of woven leaves, with pops of pink florals and tiny birds; the perfect, cosy piece of art to add to your home.
A timeless and elegant pattern, with the all important pop of “Millennial Pink”. This pattern of woven leaves and beautiful blooming pink florals was partly inspired by vintage tapestries, and partly by the bright colours of the countless, pattern-obsessed instagram accounts I follow, who show off their picture perfect, maximalist homes and gorgeous velvet sofas.
These soft, squishy pieces of art have been designed with the planet in mind, and feature a double-sided pattern for double the colour, and are the perfect way to add that perfect finishing touch to your maximalist palace, or cosy cottage home.

HANDMADE WITH CARE:
This fabric for these cushions has been digitally printed in the Netherlands; a process that requires a precise amount of ink and material to vastly reduce the amount of waste.
These cushion covers are sewn by my mum, Helen, in her home studio (aka, her living room) in Hertforshire. Produced in small batches, we have taken extra care to ensure we collected any waste fabric to be reused in future projects!
Each cushion cover has been cut from fabric on the roll, so please note that design placement may vary slightly.
ABOUT THE DESIGN:
I love adding small details to my artwork; miniature leaves, flower buds and bird feathers are the kind of elements that bring my work to life, and my pieces would look so flat without them. Adding little lines and subtle colour gradients is one of my favourite parts of the process!
I'm so happy that these details could be translated into fabric too - with this being my first step into the world of textile design, I wasn't sure if my work would suit this kind of product! Thankfully being able to design and print these patterns digitally means no detail gets lost, and each cushion cover is its own piece of art, full of life!
