Today I thought I would share a Very Simple No Sew idea to cover up those plain chair cushions.You know, those plain cheap looking ones that come with some new chairs. I like to paint, but put a sewing machine in front of me and I break out in a sweat. So this idea popped in my head and it worked.
I have had these chairs for a few years and they have moved from room to room.
They came with this very plain white cushion in what feels like outdoor fabric.
So the idea came to me to see if any of my pillow covers would fit them and then I thought of these shams I had that would still be neutral and would also add some texture.
I tucked a cushion into each sham, tied the ties, folded the extra part under the cushion and bam....added texture and no more plain white cushions.
See, I told you it was very simple and no sewing involved.
The pair of chairs reside in my sun room which you can see more of here.
Wishing y'all a fabulous fall weekend!

Simple indeed and you were lucky to have just the right size sham to make the transition work.
ReplyDeleteWell aren't you the clever one!....great idea and now I think you will be on the lookout for more great shams!
ReplyDeleteI can sew but I don't paint! Ha! We all have our talents. I had off-white slips made for our sunroom loveseat and for a chair similar to yours. Even though I sew, I didn't think I could tackle that, plus I wanted the piping, a little out of my league. Your sham idea works great!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this idea! I have tons of shams. You've got my wheels rolling:) Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThat..my friend, is ingenious!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea....just purchased two PB shams from an online sale that will work perfect in a wicker chair in my sunroom!!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhen you take time to think about it, it just always makes sense. Beautiful solution and a very cozy room.
ReplyDeleteWe are presently looking for at oval ottoman and I was wondering if your ottoman is a storage ottoman? When I see pictures on line, I can't tell if the top just sits on the bottom, or if there is some kind of a ledge inside the lid that keeps it from sliding off. Any and all information would be appreciated. Judy C
No, Judy it's not a storage ottoman.
DeleteGreat idea Kim.
ReplyDeleteAnd to think,i was going to give some of my shams to Goodwill,not now,thanks Kim i can use this idea and save lots of time.
ReplyDeleteNow aren't your smart ? (Yes )
ReplyDeletewho would ever know those are pillow shams
Brilliant!! I have those same chairs and was going to start looking for a seamstress to make new covers for me, but finding some pillows shams will be much better for my wallet! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteah ha! how clever are you!! I love the pic of Bailey. I just noticed it.
ReplyDeleteNow that really is thinking outside of the box, Kim. The new no-sew covers look terrific!
ReplyDeleteLove the added texture. I'm forever a fan of no-sew projects... until I learn how to sew, that is. :o)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend! ~julie
Great idea! I love those kubu chairs. Let me know if you ever want to sell them! 😀
