New cushion cover





This chair used to belong to my late aunt Els and there was a cushion to go with it. But this cushion was now looking a bit tatty, to say the least. So I decided to give it a new cover so that I could use the cushion again.

  • I started out by drawing a pattern of the cushion onto a piece of paper.

  • I then spent 1.5 euro to buy a bit of left-over curtain material at the HEMA and used my pattern and this material to sew a new cover for my cushion.

  • Next I used the pattern again to crochet one side of a cushion cover (making sure to write down exactly how I did this, where to make increases and decreases, etc.).

  • I then crocheted a second piece just like the first one.

  • Finally I crocheted the two parts together around the cushion and hey presto, there was my recycled cushion!
