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!

Instructions

  1. Small 112518 2f2015 12 17 135358 20151202 131519 hdr

    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.

    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.

    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

    These are all my bits laid out

  5. Small 112518 2f2015 12 17 161049 20151216 113924 hdr

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

  6. Small 112518 2f2015 12 18 103126 20151216 111103 hdr

    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. Small 112518 2f2015 12 18 103141 20151216 162052 hdr

    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.

    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. Small 112518 2f2015 12 18 103216 20151216 163818 hdr

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