Instructions to make a small cushion to sit on outside. Great simple sewing project! |

| What You Need: |
How To Make It |
|
Any heavy-duty fabric
can be used for this project, but the best fabric to use for this item is
an old tablecloth - the kind that has plastic on one side and material on
the other.
Cut 2 squares out of your fabric. They should be the same size and approximately 2 feet wide. Cut a piece of yarn or string about 3 feet long and thread it onto the needle. Pull the yarn or string through the needle eye and then tie the ends together. Start at any of the 4 corners and sew the edges together using a simple running stitch (see picture at left). Leave about an inch around the edge of your material. Sew 3 of the 4 sides together, threading more yarn or string onto your needle if necessary. Once you have 3 sides sewn, stuff your sit-upon full of plastic bags so it looks like a pillow. Sew the last side closed in the same manner you sewed the rest of your sit-upon. Your sit-upon is now ready to use, and it is quite handy for finding a dry spot to sit outside on a damp day! |
