Vervaco Autumn Leaves Cross Stitch Cushion, Multi-Colour

by Vervaco

Is on sale on Amazon for £24.93 . The price oscillates and in certain days of the week you can purchase the item for £20. The cushion kits include yarn, printed canvas , needle and catalogue for matching pillows in the same series- usually five different cushions per series.

The quality is ten out of ten. Here is my completed kit,

The yarn is of golden reflection and does not wear like knitting yarn as is high quality tapestry yarn.

As you can see from the top picture other Vervaco Cushion kits I completed include,

Vervaco sells Vervaco cushion back zipped or unzipped ,in polyester ,cotton and in different colours. I am not in position to review Vervaco cushion backs as I never bought one , simply due to the fact that I have sufficient fabric to do my own at home . I do it by hand and I stitch one stitch joining the fabric against each cross stitch square at the edge . Some people prefer to use the sewing machine, I don't as I feel crochet yarn is the most suitable and resistant for the job. I also regularly trim my pillows with a lint machine remover and after, I spray fabric freshener.  For filling, I used cotton and in certain occasions striped fabrics belonging to old clothes. If I can be honest much prefer the fabric as makes the pillows hard and keeps people away from leaning -  filling the decoration only purpose quite well.

If I had to buy Vervaco again , would definitely go for a draught excluder or draft stopper as would fit the purpose of stopping dust getting in through the entrance door , plus the designs are seriously adorable. Unfortunately, I will not be purchasing Vervaco in the future, but if you are considering doing so , I am certain that this review was more than useful to help you make an informed Consumer decision.

Until next time,

Best wishes,
