DIY Tutorial – Picnic Blanket
Perfect for summer picnics from the park to the beach, this blanket will protect and cushion you from the hard, wet ground and can stand in as a towel when you take a quick splash in the water. I like to think of it as a blanket-towel hybrid–the summer essential you never knew you needed. With one side terry cloth and the other a sturdy ticking stripe, this blanket is ideal for picnics, outdoor concerts poolside afternoons and beach adventures.
DIY Tutorial – Easy Chair Cushion
I inherited this chair from my grandparents and it sits in the bedroom mostly serving as a place to throw my clothes at the end of the day. If I didn't have this chair my bedroom would probably be cleaner! But I'm rather fond of it's boxy shape and white washed paint job. My grandmother made the original cushion for this. I even have the pattern she created and the leftover fabric. (My family cannot bear to throw anything away!)
She made a cushion perfectly fitted around each corner of the chair and I must say it is perfectly done. But, sometimes it's nice to freshen up your surroundings so I decided to try my hand at making a new cushion for this old chair. In the interest of time and sanity, I made a much simpler cushion, just a square with two rounded corners.
