Making Cushions and Pillows: 60 Cushions and Pillows to Sew, Stitch, Knit and Crochet
If you've ever looked at a bare sofa and felt the itch to do something about it, this book by Nina Granlund Saether might be exactly what you need. It brings together sixty cushion and pillow designs that span a surprisingly wide range of techniques, from crochet and embroidery to cross stitch and knitted intarsia. The variety keeps things genuinely interesting. Whether you're a confident sewist or just finding your feet with a needle, there's something here pitched at your level. A fully illustrated techniques section means you're not left guessing. The designs themselves cover a lot of ground, both literally and stylistically. You'll find Union Jack motifs alongside American flag patterns, cable-knit hearts, denim detailing, and even upcycled jacket cushions that give old garments a second life. Seasonal themes sit alongside timeless classics. It's a collection that resists being pinned down to one aesthetic, which makes it useful rather than merely pretty. Each project offers a way to put a personal stamp on a living space without committing to anything larger or more permanent. For crafters who like variety and want practical results they can actually place on a bed or armchair, this is a solid, well-rounded resource.
