Finally nice weather has come to the Chicago area. Over ten years ago we had a paver patio done in our backyard. We bought a wrought iron set of tables and chairs at that time. They have been fine, but not super comfortable.
Seating for the fire pit |
I decided we needed cushions for the chairs plus some pillows. For the two non-swivel chairs I made the cushions with the orange fabric as the main fabric and the stripes on the sides and backs of the cushions. A couple of yellow pillows make these more comfortable to sit and enjoy a fire on a cool evening.
Comfy seating to enjoy the nice weather |
For the swivel chairs at the table I reversed the fabrics and did the stripe on the main part with the solid on the sides and backs. I like making the cushions slightly different to add some interest to the area. Eventually there will be pillows on some of these chairs also.
Monogrammed appliqué placemats |
For the table top I made placemats out of the same fabric as the pillows. I monogrammed them with an appliqué using the cushion fabric to tie it all together. I did a total of eight with four solid and four striped. For the binding I chose a cotton fabric, not the Sunbrella, because it has a better stretch on the bias to go around the curves. Next up will be some matching napkins.
When we had the family over for a meal, everyone really enjoyed the new comfier seating.
