I found this fab fabric one day at Stitchbird Fabrics and knew I had to have it: it was just something about the mustard yellow and olivey green details . And happy-looking forest animals too, of course. I made a cover for a giant feather cushion and backed the linen in olive green wool. 'Lucky' for us, we have the perfect mustard pleather armchair for it.

And I discovered that 'mustaherukka' means 'blackcurrant' in Finnish. Even better.

    I have a problem with Stitchbird. Every time I go in there, I want to buy everything! This is adorable, and I am highly jealous of your mustard armchair.

    Very cute fabric. I especially love the bear holding the flower. But also very nice exposed zip detail on the cushion.

    Wow, I really love it that ‘mustaherukka’ means blackcurrant! Who would have thought?! Blackcurrants, they are a fine thing, and we have five bushes.

    Hi Melissa – this would have to be one of my favourite fabrics. I must remember to squirrel some away for a rainy day.

    So lovely. I saw this fabric abroad and it felt weird to find out it is not a finnish product eventhought it says mustaherukka. Anyway it is beautiful,I also plan to buy it, and your pillow is just GORGEOUS!
