After much fiddling, prodding and some very wonky circle cutting we finally got our sewing machines to work with us to create the cushions!!! My cactus pin cushion came in very very handy, and as you can see he has new colourful pins!!
After finally sewing our not so circular circles (they have corners you know!) we chose our fabric pen colours and drew our button shapes on! We like to think the slightly odd drawings add to the crafted look! 
On to the door stops! After making the inners out of a thick, sack material (and nearly forgetting to leave holes) we filled them with sand! We then made the covers using some material, mine was an old pillowcase from Ikea! After some fiddly sewing (I blame the cushioned handles) they were finally finished!! I was in jenny’s words ‘beside myself’ with my finished door stop and still am!! It even holds the fire door open! Not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing!
We are having far too much fun doing all these wonderful things, we may have to extend the list and never return to uni!!
