cushions

I made these cushions for my benches and chairs before I started blogging but I had to wash them today and thought I would share them. After washing them they are thicker. I don't quite get it but I really like it. I love the peek of my polka dot dresser.
I made my bench covers opposite of the chair covers. They are reversable if I want but I like it with the red being on the benches and more of it showing. Then I used the opposite fabric as the binding. I really like how they turned out.
I didn't use a pattern I just made it up and it thankfully worked. I put two pieces of batting under the top fabric and quilted it and then put two pieces of batting with the bottom fabric and then quilted. Then I sewed them together and put the binding on. The chairs and benches are very hard therefore I wanted some padding. I got it!:)
I love it when things work out!! Have a great day!!

    In the past, I haven't been a big fan of seat covers, but these are inspiring me to make a few. Well done!

    Hey there great website! Does running a blog such as
    this require a large amount of work? I have virtually no understanding of computer programming but I
    was hoping to start my own blog in the near future.

    Anyhow, if you have any recommendations or techniques for new blog owners please share.
    I know this is off subject but I just needed to ask. Thank you!

    Right now it looks like Movable Type is the preferred
    blogging platform out there right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
