Day 24 of my embroidered advent calendar.
Each day I have only shown one part of my calendar.
Surprise 🙂 It’s a cushion ❤

I saw a post on a blog a few years ago that fascinated me. Here the link:

I wanted to do something like that. I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to have the little bags printed or paint them myself with textile pens. I bought the pens a long time ago. 🙂
But I found only numbers too boring.
I had the idea of embroidering last year, but unfortunately my sewing machine broke 😦

I love the result ❤ but it took me about 25-30 hours to make the cushion.
See for yourself 🙂

I finished it in the night from last Friday to Saturday in November.
Unfortunately, the course leader is not giving any sewing courses in December.
That’s why there are already a few things on the cushion that I don’t like so much.
I would now make the star, which is put into a different pocket every day, in dark green. Now the star is almost invisible.
Oh yes, and I would change the ribbon. I had bought red satin ribbon, but unfortunately it was far too wide. I would now use a narrow satin ribbon. As an emergency solution,

I used red ribbon that was actually supposed to be for my next hoodie 🙂

 

I took photos of each step for the cushion so that I can write a tutorial.
Whether you want to embroider, print or paint the cushion, it doesn’t matter.
The tutorial would still be almost the same.
I need some time to write everything. I will add pictures. When I have done that, I will post the tutorial. 🙂
