If you can't find fabric with the color combination you need then here is a DIY version! This is a felt cushion so is easy to sew by machine or by hand.
You will need:
  • 2 large squares of orange felt 50cm x 50cm
  • 10 - 12 strips of pink felt, 2cm x 70cm
  • Orange thread
  • Sewing needle or sewing machine
  • Scissors
  • Pins
Step 1: Cut large orange felt squares for the body of the cushion. A standard size is 50cm x 50cm.

Step 2: Cut magenta strips of felt up to 70cm long and pin onto one of the orange squares to hold in place and set out your desired pattern. This will be the front of the cushion. The back can be left plain if you wish.

Step 3: Sew the felt strips onto the orange square with a single line of stitching along the center of each strip.

Step 4: When the strips are all sewn on, sew the front and back of the cushion together on three sides. Be sure to sew it inside out, i.e. with the patterned part facing inwards.

Step 5: Insert an orange zip on the open side of the cushion. Pin in place, open the zip and sew on both sides whilst cushion is still inside out.

Step 6: Finally turn the cushion cover the right way out and put a plump cushion filler inside, Zip up and its ready to look fabulous in your orange and pink room!
