You have no idea how happy spring makes me. It’s the welcoming committee for summer. It’s proof that warmer weather exists. It encourages new plant growth. It beckons my children to come outdoors. It encourages my pasty white winter skin to make an appearance. ;) I just love it!
We inherited an old patio set from my brother a few months ago (thanks Greg!) and let me tell ya……..we have enjoyed many days this spring, sitting in those patio chairs and having picnics up to our new hand-me-down table. We’ve never had a patio set before but it’s actually kinda nice to have outdoor furniture to use while enjoying this beautiful spring weather.
The fabric that was on it was fine. A little faded……..but still holding up really well. However, you know me and fabric. We start dreaming together. So, I decided to recover the cushions with a happier print.
But I couldn’t decide on just one fabric. So, I picked two……and made the cushions REVERSIBLE!! You know, so that my chair cushions can change with my mood. Ha!
Goodbye old seat cushions…..HELLOOOOOO new ones!!!
I kinda love that you get a partial view of the other fabric on the back, even when it’s not in use.
Now, if you don’t have existing cushions to recover, I’ll share how to make them from scratch……..no worries! The shape and technique is pretty simple. Anyone can give this reversible seat cushion technique a try! :)
And in case you’re worried about fabric outdoors……this is an “Outdoor Fabric”. So it’s pre-treated and nice and thick. And perfect for our little patio chairs.
Oh, how I love the new punch of color this gives our back patio! Makes me enjoy my favorite parts of spring, twice as much!
Would you like to recover some chair cushions (or start from scratch)?
