Yesterday Cate (my twin sister who just bought a house) had her house warming party. I finished all of the pillows and cushions just in time! There is more work to be done on the patio in that the bare cement blocks will be covered and painted, but meanwhile, the sewing is done!
Before:
And after! MUCH prettier and cozier!
I used this tutorial for the side and bottom cushions and it worked perfectly! Considering the bottom cushion is about 9.5 ft x 3 ft, I put it to the test, and it passed with flying colors. The hardest part of the whole process was actually getting the foam in the huge pillow because I couldn’t find a zipper that was longer than 22 inches. But I managed and it all paid off! It’s a really cozy hang out now and it got loads of use at the party yesterday!
By the way – does anyone know what this fabric is called or who makes it?? The shop was no help and there’s nothing printed on the slevedge… it’s a mystery I’d love to solve!
This is awesome! Did you ever find out what the fabric was called? I love it!
Great job! It’s beautiful and I can just imagine friends hanging out for the evening. You’re a great sister!
I love them! I bet everyone that came to the party wanted some for themselves! Great work!
Wow!!! It just looks so great!
Just gorgeous. Absolutely love your choice of fabric.
WOW! what a fabulous job you did!
I love how it turned out! I think the one long cushion was the way to go! I hope your sister loves it!
