Description
This square cushion carries a tufted Christmas pudding motif across a cream velvet face, each little pudding worked in raised loops of brown and cream so it stands proud of the cloth. Around the puddings sit embroidered sprigs of holly and mistletoe with red berries, flat-stitched against the pale ground. The face is a polyester and cotton velvet blend, the reverse a plain velvet in deep red, and the cover measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square that fits the fillers and inserts most people already own.
It is made for the festive weeks, and it earns its place on a sofa, an armchair or a window seat where the tufted puddings catch the light and invite a hand. The pale ground keeps it from reading heavy, so it sits happily against neutral upholstery, warmer reds and greens, or a mix of plain and patterned cushions built up for the season. Turn it to the plain red reverse and it reads as a quiet velvet cushion, which is useful if you want the pudding print facing out only some of the time.
The velvet gives a soft, dense handle on both sides, and the tufted motif adds real texture you notice before you look closely. A zip closure runs along one edge, so the cover comes off the insert for cleaning and goes back on without fuss. Velvet holds a nap, so a gentle brush in one direction lifts the pile and keeps the surface even after use. Bring it out with the rest of your Christmas decorating and pack it away with them, and it will do the same job year after year.

Frequently Asked
Does the cushion come with a filler pad?
The record lists this as the cover. At 45 x 45cm it takes a standard square insert, which most people size up slightly for a fuller finish.
Is the pudding design on both sides?
No. The tufted pudding motif is on the cream face only, and the reverse is a plain deep red velvet, so you can turn it to suit the day.
What is the tufted effect made from?
The puddings are worked in raised loops that sit proud of the velvet, giving real surface texture alongside the flat embroidered holly and mistletoe sprigs.
How do I keep the velvet looking even?
Velvet carries a nap, so a gentle brush in one direction lifts the pile and evens the surface after the cushion has been sat against.
Can I take the cover off?
Yes. A zip closure runs along one edge so you can remove the cover from the insert and put it back without any trouble.
