If I could only sew

The green patio furniture I bought at the flea market last month is now officially turquoise.

We've already started to have our snacks -- and today, our lunch -- on it. I'm finding the whole not-needing-to-sweep-afterwards a big plus.

Now I need seat cushions. I'm thinking yellow or orange -- or maybe I'll just find the perfect print somewhere.

Any ideas? Know any good tutorials on easy-to-make pillows? (Stress on the easy-to-make part.)

Looks great. If you get any good ideas, please pass them along. I'm looking for some seat cushions too.

they have great fabrics and can probably even help you out with a pattern for the cushions! just be sure to bring the measurement for your seat diameter when you go.

Oh yes, Amy Butler fabrics would be a perfect fit! The set turned out so beautiful in turquoise, I'd eat all my meals at that table, too!
