Our couch seriously needed to be recovered. So after buying the fabric and procrastinating for about four months, I eventually got them done in three days.
I only had a few scraps left after sewing the six boxed pillows.
I did not take a before picture of the old torn boxed pillow covers. But the were made with the same fabric as this cushion which needed a change too.
I remembered that I rescued a book of fabric swatches from the dumpster at the upholstery store down the road last winter. They were put to good use when I made new cushion covers.
I didn’t plan the design. I just joined pieces as I needed them to complete the squares.
Where I was short of fabric, I just added a few pieces of scraps from the boxed pillows and managed to use the piece of fabric I had left from the curtain panels I made last year. It worked to bring it all together.
