Nice blog, Laura. It has clearly explained how to make cushion covers and add the cushion filling. Once you know how to make a cushion you can easily upgrade your outdoor space. You can add custom seat pillows to make your outdoor space more comfortable. The instructions are given nicely.

My patio officially got a cozy makeover thanks to your tutorial on how to make Garden Cushion! The fabric you used is a good one and the design is very homey. I think I only did my sewing patterns on this one for just 5 minutes (haha just kidding). Anyway, every sip of tea and book session feels like a mini vacation now. Who needs a resort when you've got this level of comfort at home?

I used this pattern to make patio chair cushions. 22″ wide cushions not readily available for purchase in a 3 or 4 inch depth. even with clipping the corners, I found that it was quite frustrating to attach the long side panel piece at the corners. it did not feel like a beginner task. i do love the end result, however.

Another good option is to use www.foamorder.com – they make beautiful custom cushions for a great price and ship them directly to your doorstep!

In reply to Terri Bennett. I would make a little drawing of each panel you'll need for your shape (top, bottom, and sides with seam allowance) and then see what length and width your chosen fabric comes in and kind of map out on paper how many yard you need to fit everything. You can also ask for some help at the fabric counter if you have your drawing with you! Laura

Sorry, having a tough time understanding the exact question, but I think I was suggesting to make the top and bottom largest panels a little smaller than the exact width/length of the foam so that it’s a snug fit when you stuff it in…

In reply to terri mclaughlin. You should be able to find a fabric that has a plastic coating on one side (or is heavily waterproofed) and that would help keep rain off of the foam! Check fabric stores in the outdoor section Laura

In reply to Jen. That green foam is a little more firm but if there's a lot of space between the boards you may want to put another board down first Laura

In reply to Bianca.

I would do at least 3″ tall cushions and a basic zipper should work, maybe a plastic one if it will be exposed to a lot of wet weather…
