Wow, I did not intend to stay away so long! But, all three boys were sick (yep, hubby, too, and not all at the same time) and then we had Spring Break and this week I had a project I just had to finish. And so here I am :) This latest project started with 4 of these...
I saved the covers to send back to the 80's ;) These cushions belong to a vintage settee that is going to reside here. And this is what those lovely cushions looked like inside...
Inside all that cotton batting was what felt like an insert with springs - never worked with that before! I replaced the outer layer of batting with new and gave them inner covers (to make the slipcovers easier to put on and take off).
Nice to have a fresh start! And this is the fabulous fabric that my client chose...
Isn't that amazing, quilted and all! But it had a huge pattern repeat; fortunately my client was not concerned about the pattern matching from cushions to cushion. Since there were two seat cushions and two back cushions, I just cut the pieces so that the pattern would run all the same direction when the cushions were in place. Here they are, completed...
Much better!
If you are local, you can see these cushions in action at the new DIME Store opening in Denton. Their grand opening is April 5 and 6 and it's going to be great! I had a sneak peak when I delivered the cushions and I know I will be back to check out the finished store - they are going to have some great handmade wares :)
Have a wonderful week!
