Cushion Covers
1 Material
In my quest to make a decision regarding covering my new Bench Seat cushion I started thinking about seasons and holidays. We all love to decorate for holidays. I made the decision to make envelope cushion covers so that I could change the covers at any time, especially for the different holidays, hence; my project began.
I began with my front porch bench I designed the bench, bought a twin size headboard and footboard at a yard sale, for $10. My husband built the bench for me. I painted it and covered the cushion using fabric I had on hand. I covered the accessory cushions with a tea towel. On one I glued sea shells.
After my front porch project, I got the itch to recover the cushions on the sofa and rattan chair under my lanai. I refurbished the rattan chair and covered all the cushions using the envelope technique, again. Here's the kicker. I had a new king size sheet on hand that I really like the fabric pattern. The sheet is what I used to make my covers out of.
The table that you see is a refurbished table that I had on my sun porch. I moved it out on the front porch as an accent to my bench seat. As you can well see the porch needs to be painted. That is my next project.
