Make: a Cushion Out of an Old Jumper

You will need:
- Main body of a cardigan/jumper with buttons up the front (look in charity shops or use one from an old childhood memory like I did)
- Cushion pad (square) that would fit inside the cardigan - make sure you know it's width
- Sewing machine
- Matching thread
- Scissors
- Pins
- Hand needle

Instructions:
(TIP) Beforehand, I sewed some blue trim to the left of my buttons, so do this before the other stages!
(1) Close the buttons on the front of the cardigan
(2) Turn inside out
(3) Measure your cushion pad, then half the width. Measure from the centre of the cushion (the buttons) the halved width either side, and place pins to mark it.
(4) Pin straight lines in line with the pins placed, parallel to the buttons.
(5) Sew straight down and trim off any excess.
(6) Measure from the bottom the width of your cushion. Pin in a horizontal line like before.
(7) Sew a straight line and trim off excess.
(8) Sew the bottom about 0.5cm from the edge. Don't panic - remember that the buttons still undo!
(9) Undo the buttons and turn the right way around.
(10) Place the pad inside and adjust the sewing accordingly.
