How to Make Your Own Patio Chair Cushions
Patio furniture deserves to be comfortable as well as stylish. If your current chair cushions are looking a little worse for wear, or if you're just ready for a change, making your own is a great way to save money and get exactly what you want. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started.
Materials You'll Need:
- Fabric
- Foam
- Sewing machine
- Thread
- Zipper (optional)
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
- Iron and ironing board
Step 1: Measure Your Chairs
First, you'll need to measure the seats of your chairs to determine the size of the cushions you need to make. Be sure to measure the width, depth, and height of each seat.
Step 2: Choose Your Fabric
The next step is to choose the fabric for your cushions. Outdoor fabrics are designed to withstand the elements, so they're a good choice for patio furniture. Some popular options include Sunbrella, Outdura, and Perennials. When choosing a fabric, consider the color, pattern, and texture that you want for your cushions.
Step 3: Cut the Fabric
Once you've chosen your fabric, it's time to cut it to size. For each cushion, you'll need two pieces of fabric that are the same size. The pieces should be large enough to cover the seat of the chair plus an additional 2 inches on all sides for seams.
Step 4: Sew the Cushion Cover
Now it's time to sew the cushion cover. Place the two pieces of fabric right sides together and sew around the edges, leaving a 4-inch opening on one side. Turn the cushion cover right side out and insert the foam. Zip up the opening or hand-sew it closed.
Step 5: Enjoy Your New Cushions!
Your new patio chair cushions are now complete! Sit back and relax in comfort and style.
Tips:
- Use a heavy-duty needle when sewing the cushion covers.
- If you're using a zipper, be sure to sew it securely.
- To prevent the cushions from fading, be sure to treat them with a fabric protectant.
- Store the cushions indoors during the winter months to extend their lifespan.
