They have a selection of glow in the dark space fabrics here from Camelot Cottons, they are what I used for the front of the cushion.

There's also several glow in the dark fabrics from Michael Miller which include the star one I used to back the cushion, so ghost/skeleton ones and fairy dust which looks like a plain white fabric until you turn the light off!
Plush Addict have managed to take a good picture of the fabric glowing in the dark (above) so you can see when it looks like when the light is off.

I bought a fat quarter of 4 of the space fabrics, and 1/2m of the Micheal Miller stars one (above) and only used half of each fat quarter to make two 50cm squared cushions. I haven't finished sewing the second one together yet which is why there's only one in the pic. The 1/2 metre did both the backs. So for under £20 I've got 2 funky glow in the dark cushions plus plenty of left over fabric for a future project.
I could do with some ideas of what the make with the excess (4 x fat eighths). What would you make with glow in the dark fabric?

Bunting might be cute from the leftovers!
Oh that's a good idea Sarah, that would look great in his bedroom - lots of glowing :-)
Wow what wonderful fabric! How about a superhero cape, and the brighter the cape glows, the stronger his superhero powers ;-)
Not enough left for a cape unfortunetly. But they would make a great superhero cape, might have to buy some more soon... ;-)
that is clever! how about a lampshade for his room?
I've never made a lampshade but I know a lot of people are selling the kits now. I bet being that close to the light would really charge up the fabrics and make them glow brightly.
I'll think I'll have to put it to James and see what he'd like. Never got around to sewing up the second one in the end either so had better do that first I guess.
Cut each piece you have left into a large fun figure (teddy/football etc) and then applique with big oversewing stitches onto his bed quilt.
