COTTAGE CUSHIONS
Elaborate cushions are not quite so popular as they were. The cottage type of cushion has taken their place, being more generally suited to present-day furnishing, and certainly more serviceable. The cushion of the moment is made of coarse linen or hessian and embroidered with wool. The designs are always simple and floral, and the gayer the colours the more attractive the result. The cushion must be circular. Two circles of the required size should be cut out and joined together with a straight piece of material in between, the strip being as long as the circumference of the circles. The width of the strip should be about six inches, so that the final effect is a flat pancake sort of cushion. By way of variation, instead of embroidering the top of the cover, embroider the strip part with a running design, and leave the circles unadorned.
