Make Do Monday Frugal/Cheap Chair Cushions

OK, I did the work on Saturday but..
Heres my make do Monday!

I love this table & chairs
Spill something liquid,
it falls through

Spill food?

drops right through

(Buddy, Clean up table 0ne!)But here is my issue..

the chairs are the same mesh

If you have any "fluff" on your back side

You have "Mesh marks" where you don't want them

I have fluff

Lets just say lots of fluff

(we'll leave it at that OK?)

These are the plastic/vinyl cushions that came with the table

We've had them for 10 yrs, and they were old when we received them

The foam & covers are sad but in fairly good shape

I figured if they lasted this long, they would see

another ice age in a land fill......and i'm being frugal right?

Ok, cheap!

I decided to just recover them.

It also added stability to the cushion

$3.00 of remnant fabric later...

Trim off the ties or tabs,
measured the cushions;

cut the fabric.

Its best & looks nicer

if you can match the patterns

My fabric had a big fade mark in the center

so for $3.00....

They are not "centered" stripes

but they do match

sew the sides, miter the corners

so they don't smoosh up

Sew the back leaving a 6 inch opening in the center,

flip right side out

I rolled the old cushion

slid it in the opening and flattened it out

Tuck in raw edges and sew closed

the fabric was heavy enough to finger press
Repeat 3 more times,
grab a cup of Fresh cup of coffee & relax
with no fear of



fluff marks
