On zips thanks to the buttons! super easy and great for using old materials :o) No backing on this but you could add if your fabric is thin.

Instructions

  1. Small lightbox 1328202546024

    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. Small lightbox 1328202522134

    Cut of the sleeves - ha ha this looks like a hawaiian shirt now!

  3. Small lightbox 1328202507248

    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. Small lightbox 1328202490006

    Once cut, pin and tack the fabric together "inside out" (buttons on the inside)

  5. Small lightbox 1328202476291

    Sew alongside your tacks :o)Keep the buttons fastend when sewing

  6. Small lightbox 1328202460821

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

  7. Small lightbox 1328202436689

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