Cushions for little ones

Last Christmas, mum gave me a sewing machine so I needed a first project to make with my new machine.  We have a friend who's been posted to Afghanistan on a tour of duty so we wanted to send his children Lily and Ethan something nice, so I made these. 


This one's for his little boy Ethan.  I hope he likes it and the orange spotty buttons.


This one's for his little sister Lily.  She's a crawler, soon to be a toddler and adorable.


  I hope she likes the pattern.



They're quite small so should be the perfect size for little people's chairs.  I used 15" cushions.

As I came up with the method for these myself and I found the sides next to the overlap with the button holes particularly challenging, if you have a simple pattern for cushions it would be great if you can share it with me. 

Best to their father - stay safe. x
