Country Chic Ruffled Drop Cloth Chair Cushions




                                Welcome Friends!



One down Three to go............

Curious!!

Well since I'm renovating the kitchen I thought that it was appropriate

to change up my kitchen chair cushions............

Remember these red checked ones that I made a few years back and gave a
tutorial, well............


Here are my new ones................









I made them with so that a cushion can go inside and made an easy exit for when I needed

to toss them in to be washed.









I love how drop cloth hangs.

















I gave then a 8" ruffle all around the three sides and left the back plain.








As you see my chairs don't allow for a drop at the back  because they are very antique spindle pressbacks.













The tie backs are made with muslin and are 3" wide.

Muslin is a lighter fabric and makes for easy ties.



Here's the underside.............








                      I LOVE HOW THEY TURNED OUT!!!  







I'm in the process of putting together a tutorial within  the week

Be sure to drop back!!.

                                      Thanks for visiting!

  4. These are great cushions!!! I wish I could sew but I can't even sew a button on my clothes. I think when you can't sew you miss a lot of fun projects. Have a great rest of the day!

  5. Linda, I LOVE your skirted seat covers!!! You did a fabulous job on them and I love that the cushion can be removed to wash. Very nice!

  6. Oh they turned out so pretty! They really dress up those chairs. That was a good idea to be able to slip a cushion inside them. Now, they're washable! Mine drape over the cushion that is attached to the chair. Drop cloth is pretty durable too.

  8. Your slips are so pretty, Linda! I have some dropcloth waiting to be made into new slips for my chairs, too. Not sure if I'll do a long ruffle again like I did on the ones I made last year {out of white tablecloths from the thrift store}, but I am definitely going to keep the muslin in mind for the ties.

  9. Love them, Linda! You have so much more patience than me though. Any time that I have to make multiples of something, I get soooo tired of it and have to force myself to finish. lol

  13. OMGosh....I love them. So so smart to have the pillow slip out for easy cleaning! I got so excited that you're going to have a tutorial for these! Then, I remembered...I don't sew! BUT...I am still going to look for a sewing machine at garage sales this summer, so who knows. I would love these for my chairs!!

  16. And I thought you couldn't sew!!! lol - They are amazing - love how they are all French country to go with your new look - and they go with the French rooster so well.

    Went back and looked at the tutorial - it's really great and I picked up a super tip by handstitching the closure before sewing it on the machine. I'm always struggling to keep the pins and the stuffing in place. This is a great solution.

    Fabulous job, my friend.

  19. Linda, Your chair pad is the best I've seen on the blogs. I especially love that it has a cushion inside it. I'll be looking for the tutorial. It looks gorgeous with the chair!!!
