subject: Outdoor Furniture Replacement Cushions - Add Some Color To Your Outdated Furniture [print this page] If style, quality and comfort are the major three features you search for when choosing the outdoor furniture for your house, then, comfortable, decorative outdoor benches are the furniture for you.
Quality benches make fantastic accents to any space. Custom made benches are available for both inside and outside your house. You can find various styles, sizes, colors and numerous other varieties to choose from to gratify your needs and personal style.
Outdoor benches are phenomenal pieces on any front porch. Since front porches are meant for relaxing and enjoying the weather on those lovely spring and summer evenings, most individuals make use of these outdoor benches for relaxing. Due to the contouring of the seats, they are very comfortable to sit on.
A terrific add-on to any indoor or outdoor bench is the custom bench cushion. Not just do they add that additional splash of color to your home or garden, but they also give your bench a soft cushy feel. You can possibly order these cushions on the internet, or you can take certain initiative and make them yourself. Should you delight in sewing or creating your own furnishings, then making them yourself might be for you.
So that you can custom-make your own bench cushions, you need four yards of upholstery material of 60 inch width, 3 yards of matching ribbon of 1 inch width, approximately 10 yards of standard quilt batting, certain heavy-duty thread and a pound of polyester fiberfill. The first thing you should do is look for the suitable size of the material by referring to the cutting pattern. Trim out the front and back pieces. After that, pin all of the pieces together and stitch them.
To make it easy, you can lay the cushion half (bottom) with right side up on a flat surface and cover it with the face up sleeve. Afterwards, place the rest of the cushion half on its top with face down. It's required that the seam that is opposite to the sleeve piece should not be sewn. It's done to give space for accessing the quilt batting. Then, it is turned right side out; whole cushion is stacked inside it. Place the padding evenly and whipstitch your glider rocker cushion. At this point, two 1.5-yard pieces are formed out of 1" ribbon. These two pieces must be folded in half. Attach them to the edge of your cushion at the fold. Soon after the pads are made, tie all the four strands to the pipe at the bottom of the seat. Therefore, your custom bench cushions are ready.
