One of my favorite fabric categories to work with is vintage!

I love learning about the stories behind these gems and imagining the lives they’ve lived. So often these gorgeous textiles are attached to a certain time, place or person, making them particularly special. I've found fabrics that are a hundred years old, carefully stored, in amazing condition and perfectly robust for using on cushions in a busy household.

I often select vintage fabrics for the store; commonly barkcloth, linen, and cotton like this cool 1970's geometric tile pictured. There's so much personality in vintage textiles, they add immediate character and soul to a room and often evoke memories - every day I have customers come into the store that will point out fabrics that do just that for them.

I'm just loving the swing back towards collected interiors, where things don't have to match and each piece is carefully chosen, making up the story of the people that live there.

Who will add this design to their story I wonder?

This new range of hard-wearing and incredibly vibrant Persian-inspired velvets has been a hit with my gorgeous customers ✨

Just about every time I finish sewing one of these beauties, it wanders straight out the door to brighten another lovely home!

Here I'm holding the Shiraz cushion, featuring oval medallions that create an amazing visual texture in punchy orange, olive green and aqua.

This fabric is where all the cushion magic began! ✨

About 4 years ago on a winter’s day much like today, Phil stopped to watch me making some cushions for our sofa and casually suggested, “You should make a few hunt themed cushions”.

Phil (my self-appointed head of R&D) has been photographing the South Island hunt community for over 25 years, and he was adamant there was a market for cushions featuring hunt scenes.

I was really enjoying making cushions so thought 'why not!" and ordered some meterage of the classic Sanderson Tally Ho linen, plus found some vintage barkcloths and set to making a set of cushions.

Phil lugged a trestle table full of hunt themed cushions to the hunts, started spruiking and blow me down, he was right!

It's hard to believe it's only 4 short years since that seed was sown. Fast forward to now and I've completely redirected my design business, built a beautiful e-commerce cushion store and and I’m happily sewing away all manor of cushions, from horses to dragons, florals and stripes, in my gorgeous brick and mortar on Rutland Street in Ōtautahi Christchurch.

What a beautiful adventure it has been so far!

I’ve been busy working away behind the scenes to make my custom cushion service easier to follow on my website, so we took the opportunity to capture the process in a bit more detail.

I treated myself to a new cushion!

This gorgeous floral velvet has been the inspiration behind a cosy winter bedroom re-dress 💃✨

This gorgeous Persian-inspired velvet has been such a hit with my lovely customers and it’s really no surprise why! The velvet has a beautifully silky, light-catching surface that is wonderfully hard-wearing.

This rich colourway is a deep, warming tone that feels just perfect for cosying up the sofa as we move through the cooler months.

Available in 5 great colourways as well as several coordinating patterns, this collection is set to be an enduring favourite.

Pop in and explore the full range in the shop, I have samples of these stunning velvets ready to browse among many more beautiful textiles here at The Cushion Couturier ❤️ Or you can see these online at beckylee.co.nz - search Persia.

I appreciate every single review I receive but particularly love this one from Rosemary who adorned her new living room with a BIG beautiful grouping of gorgeous green cushions 💚

My favorite part was the bit about her sneaking them past her husband and his surprise at the new level of comfort of his favorite chair! “High praise indeed from someone who hadn’t even noticed their arrival the day before!”

Please do share photos of your cushions in your space, I love seeing my creations out in the world! ✨
