The cushions are made from fabric sourced from around the world and certainly won't blend quietly into your sofa. The 'glamour girls' collection features, for example, tropical pin-up girls or saucy '50s-style cowgirls. Their punk/tattoo collection is also worth a look if you're after something a little unusual. 

A 45cm square cushion cover will set you back just £12. 

You can find them at London's Portobello or Sunday Up-Market, or you can buy them online.

Etsy seller, Mod Diva has created a range of Echino Camera Cushion Covers, which feature one of our favourite motifs, a vintage camera.

repeat pattern has been screen-printed onto the fabric on both the back and front of the cushion. The design is available in either bright blue, purple or black, all with contrasting white cameras. The cushion cover measures 18 inches square and is supplied without a cushion pad, but that at least keeps the shipping costs to a reasonable level.

It's the 60th anniversary of the Festival of Britain which is being celebrated this year. This design is inspired by a vintage silk scarf and shows a suitably jubliant city scene. The scarf is backed with a contrasting silk fabric to complete the vintage feel.  

The cushion costs £55.

God Save the Queen Cushion

Rockett St George have come over all monarchist thinking about the upcoming royal nuptials when they are promoting the latest Barbara Coupe design, but her God Save the Queen cushion, could just as easily be a reference to the old punk song.

The cushion is made from jute hessian, giving it a coarse and decidedly not regal texture, with the slogan hand printed across it in a rather DIY looking font. It is stuffed with a duck feather cushion pad and measures 48 cm by 32 cm.

The cushion costs £46 from Rockett St George.

Sanderson 150th anniversary Skier cushion

Sanderson skiier
Last year was the 150th anniversary of Sanderson and we featured many of the products produced as part of their celebration, including the range of cushions produced using some of their textile designs. Their range has also expanded beyond this, to include designs based on ephemera in the Sanderson archive, such as this skier cushion.

The cushion is based on an invite to an early Sanderson bash and also features an appealing illustration showing a skier against a wintery background. There's no year given on the invite but it looks like it dates right back to the early days of the company. If you like this, there's also another design based on an Edwardian design for the company. 

Made from linen, the cushion costs £35.
