Garden Bench Cushion (plastic grass sack)
Easy
Rummaging through a cabinet in the garage, in one of my husband's cabinets, actually looking for something else, I found this plastic sack. I of course am thinking what could I make out of this? How about a garden bench cushion?
Grass seed came in the sack and I am glad now that my husband kept the sack. The plastic sack has a similar weave as burlap and unravels just about as bad. I cut a piece of foam that is about one inch thick to fit inside the sack and put the foam inside the sack. A zigzag stitch was used to sew up the end, nothing fancy, just put the two ends together and machine stitch.
The cushion is a little shorter than the length of the bench, but it is so cute on the bench, having a grass seed garden sack as a cushion.
The sack does have a fairly tight weave so it should repel water somewhat. I think this sack would make a cute pillow for a porch swing or garden bench!
Looking through the flowers at a perfect place to sit and watch butterflies, bees and hummingbirds in one of our gardens.

I use my meal bench to sit on my front porch and wait for my kids' bus in the afternoon.

I'm not sure grass even comes in sacks like that anymore, but you will find something I am sure. Thank you.
