I found this tablecloth/napkin set for $2 last summer. I didn't really have anything in mind for it, but bought it just because I love the color!
Four napkins, all in great shape. I decided to make cushions for my kitchen chairs.
I love the way they turned out...Hobby Lobby has the Smart Foam Chair Pads 30% off this week so I used them. They are not foam but a compressed sort of batting that is supposed be better than plain foam pads. I got the 15 x 17" pads and they fit perfectly into the napkin cushion cover.
I sewed the napkins together inside out on three sides. I sewed the two inside corners to make square corners for the front of the cushion.
The back I turned under about 1.5 inches and sewed the edges together after putting the pad inside the cover.
I made placed a ribbon on each side inside the seam to attach to the back of the chair.
They look great in the kitchen and I have a coordinating tablecloth!
What a great way to use napkins! The look very nice as chair covers! Thanks for visiting us at our Anything Related party!

These look great! Using the napkins was a great idea. They always seem to be on clearance!
ReplyDeleteI love how these napkins were repurposed. Beautiful print and it looks great on the chair.
ReplyDeleteFound the chair! I love them. Would've never thought about using them for kitchen chairs. I had posted on your mission chair that I wanted to find a pic of the kitchen chairs that you mentioned. Love the cushion you made as well.
