R3,200
A patchwork cushion made from second hand and upcycled fabrics. The pattern is a play on the traditional Log Cabin block, a North American quilt pattern where narrow strips of fabric of equal width are stitched around a central square. Instead of using regular widths, I’ve opted to use the scraps in their original state, making a wonky and off-kilter design – I think it brings a lot of charm to the pattern. The back is made up of a patchwork of natural 100% linen scraps, as well as leftover pieces of my own hand-woven fabric in red and pink cotton. I hand made the buttons from mussel shells collected on the beach in Muizenberg.

It’s best to keep it out of direct sunlight as much as possible to avoid fading / discolouration.
