I completed a goal that I set for myself this summer.
To recover the cushions and paint a set of patio furniture I found at an estate sale 2 yrs ago! I started out trying to recreate the cushions as they were originally with zipper closures but as the zippers started to fall apart - I left out the zipper and sewed the covers closed. I have 2 matching chairs so I made a total of 10 cushion covers. I'm happy how they turned out since I have NEVER thought I could do something like this. I also made the deer applique pillow with raggy edges (design from Rivermill Embroidery).

8586718473This post is from over a year ago and this project is gorgeous! What a beautiful reupholstery job.... I love the colors and the pillow embroidery!
I'm out here poking around looking for a post that a cutie did of a pillow with a dinosaur from UT on it. Along the way, I'm having a wonderful time looking at everyone's projects from years past, and learning of the value of tagging our project submissions. I asked and learned that you can go back and tag your projects (see Q/A section for how-to and thank you rescuer for the nudge!)

2550497811823282Great job, love the fabric choice very calming, your deer pillow is very cute.. enjoy.. Marian
45918Nice fabric.Over the years I have recovered cushions from out door settings ,lounges etc & always cut up the covering of what what I'm going to recover to use as a pattern,it makes the job a lot easier.
If you need new foam for the cushions I found that the local upholsters will give you the cushions from lounges that they are re-upholstering for free,it saves on tip fees.Use a large knife to cut the foam to size.Our animals have nice beds made from this foam.

Thanks for the information. Now to find an upholster in my area - the one that I did know of closed shop.
25212You never know what you can do, if you never try. This job looks great and I love the deer pillow too. It is the finishing touch to this outdoor area.This is a pretty place, looks like a lake or water, in the background.
109779I love the fabric you used, you did a great job and the pattern in the fabric complements the ironwork on the furniture nicely.
