Cath Kidston makeover

It's true, how is it possible to do a makeover on a Cath Kidston product?  However, as I decided to order myself a new dress as a treat for securing a morning of supply work, I had to get the total to £50 in order to get free delivery (I know, it's a hard life but someone has to do it!) so I had to order other items!

I decided to treat the hubby to a new mug as he loves giraffes!

And then I decided to order this pack of teatowels.  I figured they would make great cushions, for lovely as the ones in the Cath Kidston catalogue are, that even reduced to £16.00 , I figured that was a tad expensive in my opinion.

 

Now as the teatowels are reduced to £8 for the pair I figured I could turn them into my own cushions instead.  I made one up yesterday, but am waiting for some more pads to come before making up the second.  I won't patronise you by offering a tutorial on this, but if you haven't made a cushion cover before, and fancy doing so, the head on over here for a step-by-step tutorial on making an envelope backed cushion cover.    
 

I decided to use the grey teatowel for my first cushion and some plain mustardy-yellow fabric for the backing with a 16" pad inside.

So for about £5.50 including the pad, I have a new cushion and it's unique to me.  One happy bunny here!
