Long hours sat on dining room chairs playing board games can really bother your booty...keep your keister comfy with this cheek cuddling cushion.

I fell in love with this fabric because it's delightfully retro and goes perfectly with our blue artwork!

You Will Need (5 things)

  • 3 m Cotton
  • Ruler
  • Foam Cushion
  • Pins
  • Sewing Machine

Steps (9 steps, 300 minutes)

  1. 1

    I started by drawing around the foam cushions I'd bought onto the back of the fabric. I did them about 1cm wider - just roughly drawn.

  2. 2

    Hermann tried to help as I also cut a length of fabric long enugh to go aroun the edge. It was two inches wide to give room. I also cut out four strips measuring 16x2 inches.

  3. 3

    Take the small strips, fold them in half lengthwise and sew down one small edge and the length. You'll have long thin tube left - turn this inside out

  4. 4

    These are all my bits laid out

  5. 5

    Sew the 16inch tubes, one onto each corner of the piece which will be the bottom of the cushion.

  6. 6

    Take the longest piece of fabric and fold over the long edges so they meet in the middle.and iron them so the edges are creased.

  7. 7

    Attach this long piece to the fabric that will be the top of the seat. Pin all around and then sew with a zig zag stitch.

  8. 8

    This is the top piece sewn together with the long strip. The bottom piece is then attached to the other side of the long strip - I sewed 3/4 of the way around, turned the piece inside out and then hand stitched the remainder.

  9. 9

    Voila! Thanks to those handy strips on the bottom, the cushion can now be tied on to the chair for secure butt warmth.
