Handcrafted Appliqué Cat Cushion Cover

One-of-a-kind handcrafted appliqué cat cushion cover (20" x 20") – Barnaby Button Prototype No. 1

Cover only: UK artisan-made cushion cover with raw-edge cotton appliqué, slow-stitch embroidery, turquoise blue border/back, and an envelope back with a 6" overlap.

Add a touch of quirky, handmade charm to your home with Barnaby Button—a slightly wide-eyed cat built up from layered cotton fabrics and textured stitching. This isn’t a mass-produced print: the character is created using raw-edge appliqué, a technique that gives a sketch-like, illustrative quality you can see and feel. I combine machine stitching for durability with detailed hand-stitching for the whiskers, outlines, and the starry background elements that give Barnaby his personality. The cushion cover is finished with a turquoise blue border and matching back, plus a neat envelope-style closure with a generous 6" overlap, making it easy to remove for cleaning or to swap out your cushion pad. As “Prototype No. 1” (the debut original of this character), this is the only physical version made in this exact form—once it finds its home, it won’t be repeated.
