Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

I didn't stare (it's rude) I just stuffed it, loved it and now I'm leaning on it.  0_0

You should always stuff a big cushion into a small case - if  you do it the other way around the cover looks sad, baggy and wrinkly.

Been AWOL for a bit so only just seen this - it's lovely - gorgeous fabrics. And I can't see any wonky bits. No wonder you're chuffed to have it at last.  <3 <3 Well done Fran.
