Let's make cushions for our chairs!
If you want a faux fur cushion, you can buy a finished product or DIY one. Here I will tell how to DIY a faux fur chair cover and cushion.
Step One: Choose a size for your cushions. I opted for pillow inserts instead of cutting foam to fit, because I wanted these to be extra padded. Lay your pillow out and decide how much vinyl you will need for each cushion. My pillows were 16", so I cut 18" squares for each.
Step Two: Once you have cut your fabric, it's time to sew it! Lay your two pieces of vinyl so the back sides are facing out, and stitch 3/4 of the way around. I gave my cushions a curved edge because I thought it looked a little softer than a very pointed edge. Once you have made it 3/4 of the way around, position two pieces of your canvas trim 2" or so from the corner. Use your machine to sew about 12" in toward the middle from both remaining open corners. Make sure to leave a decent-sized opening in the center of this last edge—that's where we will be stuffing the pillow!
Step Three: If you choose to make your edges curved like mine, now is the time to clip the edges in order to achieve a nice corner once the vinyl is flipped. After you've done each corner, flip your vinyl right side out and stuff the pillow inside. Go ahead and close the opening with a blind stitch, and you're all done!
Surely you can buy the faux fur cushion from SEETEX.
