Last month I wrote about creating a cool round cushion cover based on a fabulous thrifty recipe from the Granny Chic book. Since then I've become slightly carried away and made three more cushions from fabric scraps and tea towels. I'm using the excuse of having a new bench in the kitchen which just wouldn't look right if it wasn't adorned with a few cute cushions.

| My own little village isn't marked on this tea towel but I still love it. |

| This is a super simple envelope design - no zips! |

| This is another tea towel with a zip closure. |
Keep your eyes peeled for new or old tea towels that catch your eye or have some special meaning for you. Making them into a cushion cover is an easy way to keep the memories fresh and part of your home. You could also turn them into simple zipper toiletry bags or maybe even a set of quirky curtains or a quilt. Good luck stitching!
