Coded Cloth cushions We all crave a place to lay our head, something soft and supportive to prop us up, or lean into. Why not make the practical decadently beautiful, too? These initial explorations of patchwork use a simple layout of squares, to best showcase the intricacies of the vintage fabrics used, which include cross-stitched linens, damasks, brocades, silks, satins, wools and glazed cottons. These 25 patchworked squares chart an accumulated textile history, outstanding examples of craftsmanship, personal endeavour and celebration, each creating their own secret narrative: pillow talk.
Coded Cloth cushions are an excellent way of repurposing ravishing embroidered fabric remnants that are otherwise too small to incorporate into garments: minimising waste, maximising future function. Sustainable living with a clear conscience.
