With the changing of seasons come changes in the home. From the colors that are used to the fabrics put into place, it's important to keep up with the trends. And what better way to do that than by incorporating country-style cushions into your decor? In this article, we'll share some tips and tricks on how to go about picking out these unique pieces of furniture.
There are many different ways to style a country cushion. Here are some tips and tricks:
-Start by selecting your fabric. A cotton or linen fabric will work best for this project.
-Choose a fabric that has some body to it so it doesn't look too flat.
-Cut the cushion out of the chosen fabric and then hem the edges.
-Next, you'll need to choose your batting and backing material. Some people prefer to use lightweight batting because it is easier to work with and looks nicer on the finished product. Others may prefer heavier batting in order to keep the cushion firm. Choose whatever feels comfortable for you!
-Now, you'll need to cut strips of your batting and backing material the same width as the cushion front and back fabrics. Don't forget to add a seam allowance on all sides!
-Thread your needle with enough yarn to cover one side of each strip of batting/backing material. Sew the strips together along one long edge, leaving an opening at one end so you can turn them right side out afterward.
-Repeat these steps using the other side of each strip of batting/backing material, making sure that you leave an opening at one end so you can turn the right side out again.
-Finally, insert each cushion piece into its respective opening in the front and back of the batting/backing material, making sure that they are lined up correctly.
