In light of the PDF release of our 305 Japanese interior pattern this month, I have put together a mini sew-along to talk about the process of making one of the zabuton cushions. This pattern features a ton of different interior pieces, though most are bedding. I chose to make myself the second zabuton option in this pattern, as I do enjoy sitting on the floor from time to time. In addition to this I knew that my cats would love the wide pillow, so I decided to make this floor cushion and cat bed combo!

Dear Victoria,
Thank you for sharing this delightful sew-along guide for the zabuton cushion from the 305 Japanese Interior pattern! Your insights and tips were incredibly helpful, and I particularly appreciated two aspects:
Resourceful Batting Solutions: I found your approach to using pre-cut batting and supplementing it with poly-fill truly resourceful. Itās a fantastic way to adapt the project to readily available materials, and your honesty about the final outcome is refreshing. It empowers readers to embrace a flexible approach and not be discouraged by the potential lack of perfectly sized batting.
Practical Seamwork Tips: Your experience with the ājail barsā method for hand-stitching the final seam was eye-opening. Itās valuable to acknowledge that sometimes alternative methods, like whipstitching, might be more practical or achievable for individual skill levels. Thank you for offering both options and normalizing the use of a simpler approach when needed.
Your entire sew-along is a testament to mindful crafting and using what you have on hand. It beautifully aligns with the spirit of sustainability that is close to my heart. I believe this guide will inspire many to embrace the joy of creating their own zabuton cushions, even with some personal adjustments along the way.
With warm regards,
Evelina Hawthorn
