Whoops I didnt mean to rate your project 2. Sorry. I love these cushions. Good job. I have been trying to make ones with the button in the centre but the keep falling off. Theres too much presure on them so I might check out that link you posted. Thanks!

Hi Lady Sophie,
Thanks!! Sorry… the tutorial I linked to just has the plain cushion covers with invisible zips, no buttons. But I might be able to help you out with the buttons if you like, just send me a message :)

Oh ok thanks.
What I tryed doing was threading one button on the end of the needle and string and into the cushion out the other side the next button goes on, the needle goes in connects to the button and so on. I continued this but it still dosent work. After awhile they will just give way.

Perhaps try some thicker thread? I am not sure exactly what mine is, but it’s much thicker than normal cotton. You also have to secure the ends really well. Hope that helps! :)
