smocked round cushion made of satin material

I had learnt this from a friend of mine two years ago. I have used satin cloth and fishing thread. I am on my way to design a complete set of cushions changing the decor plan of my living room. hope to do themm soon and keep posting.

the method here is smocking, where the whole design is brought about by only stiching and there is no special cut required.

• From one end turn it inward.

• again give a second inward turn.

• Now keep giving a twist and turning around the small bud formed due to the first two fold,a beautiful rose shaped flower could be made within seconds.
