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).

I love the fabric you used, you did a great job and the pattern in the fabric complements the ironwork on the furniture nicely.

You 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.

Nice 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.

This 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!)
