So much to do and so little time! Geez, does that sound familiar with many of you? Last month I finally started and finished making all new seat cushions for the dining chairs at the cottage. I thought I had taken photos of our old cushions, but I can't seem to find them anywhere. Let's just say they were older than old, as in over 20 years old. I found some fun fabric last year and finally made the new cushions...
After I finished these, I got started on seat cushions for our dining chairs in our condo. They're all wood and I decided to make them 2 inches thick. For a pattern, I used a paper tablecloth and I decided to try Nu-Foam instead of regular foam...
I tried using scissors to cut, like I did for the cottage cushions, but this didn't work for the 2 inch thickness. So I brought our electric knife with us to the cottage and started cutting. It did a bit and then wouldn't cut anymore. So Mr. Cottage tried and the same happened with him. Hmmm, could it be our knife blade was a bit dull. We received it as a wedding gift 46 years ago...
So Mr. Cottage and I went into town and bought a new one so I could finish cutting all of them...
Here's a peek of what I'm currently working on...
I'm hoping to finish them this week and I'll show them to you before I take off with Nicole and Lori to Pennsylvania.
