Product Description
LIBERTY FABRICS, Alice Caroline Exclusive - Robin Cushion Kit
Collection: ALICE CAROLINE EXCLUSIVE Liberty Fabrics
100% Cotton Tana Lawn
This Robin Cushion is a great way to bring a bit of lovely Liberty to your seasonal decor.
Nothing says festive quite like a robin in the snow. Imbued with positive symbolisms of new beginnings and good fortune, robins have a history of adorning our Christmas cards and Christmas trees. There is also the old expression of comfort and warm feeling, ‘when a robin appears, a loved one is near’. By sewing this cushion you can enjoy the pretty sight and soak up the good luck of a red robin on your sofa or bed this winter.
Skill level: Suitable for an advancing beginner sewer, it is constructed using raw edge appliqué and patchwork techniques. Appliqué does require some concentration, but will help advance your sewing skills
