1
Find out an old shirt - or head to a charity shop/ thrift store (I bought this for a few pounds - not at all my type but I knew this would look great as a cushion!)
-
2
Cut of the sleeves - ha ha this looks like a hawaiian shirt now!
-
3
Make a template allowing for 1-2 cm seams all the way round. Tack to the fabric and then cut out. Keep the buttons fastend when cutting.
I measured the cushion after buying (I have another shirt to do which is bigger) thankfully this was big enough (keep in mind is buying - I was lucky ha ha!)

4
Once cut, pin and tack the fabric together "inside out" (buttons on the inside)
-
5
Sew alongside your tacks :o)Keep the buttons fastend when sewing

6
Turn inside out and check the sitching and sizing before triming the seams if needed.

7
Add your cushion and close with the buttons! Super easy to remove and wash(keep washing instructions from the shirt)

Finito!
