What you will need

  • One quarter of a metre (10″) of fabric

  • Wadding, cotton wool or fabric scraps for filling

Place the plate over your fabric and draw around it. Cut out you fabric. Stuff the sock with your chosen material until you have a nice compact ball about the size of a fist, knot the end tight and cut off the excess material. Thread a needle with a long piece of doubled up thread and sew long running stitches all around the fabric at about 1cm (3/8″) from the edge. Place the stuffed sock on the fabric circle pull on the threads and knot them up tight. Cut off the loose ends.Squeeze a line of super glue inside the cup, some at the bottom and some half way around and push the cushion inside pressing down for 10-15 seconds.Arrange some pretty pins on the cushion and there you are!
