I used what I had around the house, digging through my fabric stash. I knew that I wanted something neutral, something without a pattern, so I chose black with white piping. I made the piping using the instructions from Sew Mama Sew, and as crazy as it looks, it works.
I was supposed to add piping to the bottom piece too, but I said fagedaboutit after 6 hours of sewing. Other people make it look so darn easy.
I still have to paint out the storage bench in white, and that will have to do to make it look like the bottom of the cushion has piping
forgive the crappy photos, I’m too tired to haul out my other camera
Awww I've had so many projects like that, figure it'll take a couple of hours tops and two days later... ahhhhhhh!!
ReplyDeleteI zapped myself not once, not twice but three times trying to connect the GFCI outlet in my new bathroom. Even blew out the breaker once... and I said to myself - don't ever try this again!!! lol Lights & switches are easy, but those outlets are a pita!!!
Have a happy week!
Hmmm not enough exclamation points !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
Somehow nothing is ever as simple as it seems! Looks good though!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! Good job! I'm terrible at sewing I'm very impressed with your skills. I can't wait to see the bench painted and all done. Looking good!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, that turned out great. What a fun place to sit and eat.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! Every time I do a sewing project it takes me 3-4 months to talk myself into another one. It's always harder than it looks!
ReplyDeleteHmm, the cushion might have taken longer than you thought, but it looks GREAT! The black fabric and white piping are the perfect foil to your table cloth and chair covers. Love it!
ReplyDeletei found the same tutorial & have had it on my Will Do list for over a year but not the guts to try it. each time i read it, it just seems harder than i think. mostly glad to hear that you struggle with measuring too. i can do some basic sewing but i will never understand how people get the measuring down or how they get the fabric cut so well. maybe i will get the courage one day to do just one pillow since you did do a whole bench!
