Japanese cushion cover sewing project by aupaysdesbulles

Yay!!  Super talented Muriel from the sewing blog aupaysdesbulles has created 3 absolutely magnificent cushion covers with some Japanese fabric from our shop! The results are spectacular, and we want to say a big thank you to Muriel for this collaboration 🙂  For her professional-looking sewing project, she chose 2 delightful floral sakura flower fabric designs by world-class brands Alexander Henry and Robert Kaufman: a red one featuring Japanese flowers on branches in an Eastern painting style, and a design with small cherry blossoms on black.

Take a look at the images below, and you will see just how beautiful her covers look!  She cleverly added piping all around the border of each cover, sewed perfect ‘invisible’ zippers on their backs…and even made a detailed sewing tutorial of the creation process!  So now you can easily put all this into practice, and make your own wonderful cushion covers 😉

You know we have a soft spot for Japanese textiles and their astounding quality, as shown in our dedicated shop category, which we recommend you to visit if you are a fan too!  We are in everlasting love with their designs featuring Asia-inspired traditional motifs, they look simply exquisite!  Cherry blossoms (also known as sakura) are probably the most popular Japanese flowers, which tend to bloom around Spring throughout the country.  This amazing sight attracts many thousands of visitors each year, and locals celebrate the season by meeting under the blossoming trees to enjoy their beauty, a custom called hanami.  Have you ever been to Japan in spring? Tell us! And please show us pictures if you decide to try a sewing project like the one by Muriel!
