Cushion

Sorry it's been a while folks, but moving house takes up a lot more time than you would think. But getting a minute to myself is lovely every now and then. On one of these rare occasions I decided to make some cushions for my dining room chairs. They aren't the most comfortable and a cushion would be great.


I just took my cushion inner and measured out two pieces of fabric about an inch bigger in diameter to the cushion. For my covers I chose two different fabrics so that I can turn the cushions over for a different effect.


Using a sewing machine I sewed up three of the four sides inside out, and then I turned the cover the correct way around. I took six pieces of ribbon about 4 inches long. I then (after turning the edges of the fourth side in) sewed three pieces of ribbon along the top and three along the bottom, making sure that they are at the same places along the top and bottom as they are to be tied together into bows.

That is all! Easy peasy...
