Fasten off and weave in ends. Stitch nine colourful buttons evenly across opening, making sure you align buttons under the second row of the flap.

Make cushion inner by folding polycotton lining in half and stitching 2cm seams at the side and bottom. Stuff with toy filling, then stitch remaining seam running perpendicular (90 degrees) to the bottom seam.

Slide cushion inner into the cover and button up, using the spaces between the stitches as buttonholes.
