That’s Cushy! Updated Patio Cushion Tutorial: Guest
Alissa at 33 Shades of Green has such great style. I love her taste, check out this redo:
.
Two of my outdoor patio chairs were in desperate need of new cushions. I bought these chairs a few years ago and the original brick-red colored cushions had become really faded and discolored after a few summers in the sun.
.
Here are the chairs before:

.
There was no way I was going to put these chairs out again this year looking like this!

Of course, this project was on my to-do list all winter but I somehow managed to put it off until last month.
.
I started by using trace paper and tracing the existing cushions to make a pattern.
.
.
I pinned the patterns to the fabric and cut out the pieces.
.
.
Once I had the pattern pieces cut out, I wrapped them around the existing cushions and pinned the fabric around them so that I would know where to sew.
.
.
Sewing was a bit tricky, but I’m pretty happy with how they turned out – and they definitely look much better than the old cushions!

Now that these are finished, I am officially ready for Summer. I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! My Dad helped me put up a new flag up just in time to celebrate the holiday.

I have 4 of these same chairs from Target and I have painted them the last two years and the gig is up. Thank you for the tutorial I need to tackle this soon. Did you take off the old fabric before covering? I might try piping but I am not sure if I am brave enough!
Thanks for this great post!! I have 4 chairs that need covered and thanks to you, think I can do it 🙂
This is exactly the tutorial I needed for this! For some reason, my brain can’t work with straight up dimensions. The visual pattern will make all the difference for this novice sew-er ????
