As part of the design of
these chairs, I wanted a detached cushion. I can’t remember why, but ultimately
I think it’s a nice look. To start them, I cut a template of the seat shape and
traced it onto my fabric.
Then it is simply a matter
of pining and sewing into the shape of the cushion. Probably would be easier
without Ella’s help.
I’ve also been working on
cutting the foam to the shape of the seat. The electric knife is a lot easier
and faster but it is still tricky to cut the foam. These are currently 2” thick
but they feel a little too dense and a little too high for me.
And now we know: I’m not
sure what to do about the cushions here. I have 4 cushion covers completely
sewed and 4 half done, all at 1 ¾” thick for the 2” foam. If I try to cut the
foam down it will be imperfect (which I think I could mitigate with a few
layers of batting) and time consuming. But it I leave it as is it will always
bother me...so I will do some test fits and probably adjust the thickness of
the foam...
