Create a festive atmosphere with homemade cushions

Change your cushions and feel Christmas move in. Sew your own cushions using Christmas fabrics that suit your style and your home.

Classic, colourful or natural? It's entirely up to you. Here you'll find ideas, fabrics and guides to help you get started.

How to sew your own cushions

We love decorating for Christmas! And what could be cosier than a couple of homemade cushions for the sofa or armchair? It's cosy and easy to get started – even for beginners. You decide whether to keep it simple or make it more advanced, depending on your skills and what you feel like making.

Sew it your way: simple, creative or decorative

It's easy to get started, even as a beginner. You decide how simple or advanced you want it to be.

Start with a beautiful fabric with a Christmas print – perhaps poinsettias, holly or snowflakes. Or choose an elegant, plain design. There are plenty to choose from!

You can also combine different fabrics in a simple patchwork design, or add embroidery, appliqués or vinyl prints for a personal touch.

A few great ideas for Christmas cushions

Large, soft Christmas baubles

Okay, perhaps not technically a cushion. But they're soft and cosy all the same! Sew your own large, floor-sized Christmas baubles, for example in soft velvet.

Christmas spirit in the bedroom

Bring the cosy Christmas atmosphere into the bedroom. Sew your own bed linen in a festive Christmas print, and make the bed extra inviting with a small pile of homemade decorative cushions.

Decorate with vinyl prints and beautiful details

Want to make your Christmas cushions extra festive? Here, the cushions are decorated with vinyl prints and finished with decorative piping for a beautiful, polished look.

Choose the right fabric for your Christmas cushions

For cushions, firmly woven fabrics are a great choice. Try, for example, cotton canvas, woven cotton, jacquard, tapestry fabric, half panama or upholstery fabric. You can also choose cotton blends, linen-look fabrics or patchwork fabric.

In other words, there is plenty to choose from. Find a fabric that suits your Christmas style, and make your cushions as classic, colourful or playful as you like.
