How To Make Outdoor Chair Cushion Covers

Outdoor chair cushion covers are a great way to protect your cushions from the elements and keep them looking their best. They are also a relatively easy project to make yourself, even if you are a beginner sewer. Here are the essential steps on how to make outdoor chair cushion covers:

1. Gather Your Materials:

Outdoor fabric
Thread
Measuring tape or ruler
Scissors
Sewing machine
Iron and ironing board
Optional: zipper or Velcro for closure

2. Measure Your Cushions:

The first step is to measure your cushions. You will need to know the length, width, and height of each cushion.

3. Cut the Fabric:

Once you have your measurements, you can cut the fabric. For each cushion, you will need two pieces of fabric that are the same size. The pieces should be cut to slightly larger than the actual measurements of the cushion, to allow for seam allowances.

4. Sew the Sides:

Now it's time to sew the sides of the cushion covers. Place the two pieces of fabric right sides together and pin them around the edges. Sew around the edges, leaving a small opening for turning.

5. Turn and Press:

Once the sides are sewn, turn the cushion cover right side out and press it flat. Topstitch around the edges to secure the seam and give it a finished look. Insert the cushion into the cover and you're done!
