Yashar's room is finally starting to come together a little - yay! That has been on my list of things I want to do for a looooong time. The room has a bit of a sky theme going on and so I whipped these cloud cushions up one evening recently.
I'm no expert sewer, but in case you are wondering, this is what I did:
For the grey cloud I used a fabric that wasn't going to fray much (felt would be perfect for this). I just cut out 2 rectangles about 50 cm x 35cm, drew a cloud on one piece and pinned the two pieces together (right sides facing out). Then I sewed (using a sewing machine) around the cloud shape I had drawn, leaving a 5cm gap open at the bottom. I then cut out the cloud about 2cm out (a little more on the curves, a little less in the inner corners) from the sewn line. I stuffed the pillow as evenly as I could, then sewed the gap shut.For the blue pillow used part of an old cotton pillow case. I cut our two rectangles about 30cm x 20cm, drew a cloud on one piece and pinned the pieces together (right sides facing in). Then I sewed around the cloud shape leaving a 5 cm gap at the bottom. I cut off the excess fabric and flipped the cloud inside out. Then I sewed a line around the edge of the cloud about 1 cm in, again leaving the 5 cm gap. I stuffed it as evenly as I could then sewed the gap shut.

I love the soft colours you chose and I think they are perfect to sleep on.
I like your son´s name, byt the way... has it got a meaning?
Thank you! And yes it does - It means something close to 'Life' or 'to live/living'.
It was actually his grandfather's name. When Senol first told me what his father's name was (many years ago!) I said there and then that if we had a boy we should name him Yashar - I really love it!
