Cushion competition and the Cynthia Rowley dress Pattern

We finished the cushion competition today. The students have been working on their projects for almost six weeks which makes these the longest project they will do until of course we start on the clothing term.

This years entries are lovely. The rules were they had to design a cushion using the skills learned so far and could include, hand and machine embroidery, applique, bead work etc..

Are'nt they lovely? The bicycle one is'nt finished as yet but I do like the idea of it. 

I starred the winning entry. It's great for it's whimsical quality. Congratulations to all of them. 

In other news one of the students was making this Cynthia Rowley pattern. I liked her fabric choice and the back detail...
