No pictures of the sewing or stuffing the cushions into the covering.
 |
| These cushions are supposed to be a French mattress style, so I started by sewing around all the edges to give it that "finished" look. |
 |
| Next came the tufting. To make it easier to stitch through the cushion, I clamped it together after marking the front and back. |
 |
| Using a large needle, made just for this purpose, and a leather thimble it wasn't too difficult to sew through the cushion. It was a little tricky to hit the mark on the back side. |
 |
| Adding the buttons to the top was the last step before removing the boards. Those creases came out pretty quickly. |
 |
| The large cushion finished. Ignore the windows here. This is before the trim was put in place. |
 |
| This is the final effect. Actually in this picture the smaller cushion wasn't complete. Our local Jo-Ann's ran out of buttons, so I couldn't finish this until I bought more at another store over spring break. But you get the idea. They look a little hard, but they are very comfortable. I think in person they look better than here. For some reason it is always cloudy, rainy, or dark when I take pictures. This room really gets a lot of sun in the morning. |
