Last year I had a brain wave about a present for my friend Rachel - it took a while to put into action, but I was very happy with the results!
Presenting - Nautical Flag Name cushions! Rachel has the perfect name for this project - 6 letters, all different.
I adapted the idea from this tutorial on the purl bee, about nautical flag napkins, and made them into simple cushions. I also made the cushion inserts using wadding from Reverse Garbage (of course!). All the fabric was reclaimed too - mostly scraps and offcuts of fabric that I collect from op-shops and friends.
I think this is one of the best presents I have ever made!
Here they are in their new home

and the tags for each cushion, so she can keep them in order!
