Sew cherry stone cushions

The cozy season has arrived, the days are getting shorter, and the weather invites you to make yourself comfortable at home. What could be better than a homemade cherry pit cushion that provides warmth and coziness? In this guide, I will show you step by step how to easily sew a decorative cherry pit cushion yourself. It's an ideal project for anyone looking for a creative activity on dreary days and wanting to improve their sewing skills.

Start by drawing a template on a piece of paper or printing an appropriate template. Adjust the size and shape to your liking – for this guide, we use a simple five-pointed star, which is particularly suitable for sewing beginners. Place two layers of fabric on top of each other, trace the star shape with a pencil on the left side of the fabric, and cut them out. Make sure to leave 1 cm of extra fabric next to the drawn line to have enough seam allowance later.

Place the two cut-out fabric stars with the left sides together and secure them with pins. Sew the edges with a straight stitch, leaving a small opening through which the cushion can be turned and filled.

Turn the cushion right side out and fill it with cherry pits. A funnel can help you fill the pits more easily. Once the cushion has reached the desired fullness, hand stitch the opening closed. Add a personal touch by attaching small patches or appliqués with a few stitches.

Place your finished cherry pit cushion in the microwave for a few minutes and enjoy the comforting warmth it provides. Whether as a personal comforter on cold days or a lovingly handmade gift for family and friends – your cherry pit cushion is sure to bring joy.
