I have seen a few articles and blogs on how to turn a t-shirt into a sofa cushion. This is just a slight twist on that idea.
I needed a cushion for the spare bedroom desk and wanted something fun in a sturdy fabric. I also waned the cushion to keep its shape so I used a 2" pre-cut foam square. You can buy them at a fabric store pre-cut or you can buy a larger piece and cut it yourself if you have multiple chairs. I think it would be fun to make cushions for chairs at your kitchen table. You could use t-shirts from your favorite restaurants.
I used one of my husband's t-shirts from a Day of Drags race a few years ago. These are old school races that are like stepping into 1954. Guys that work on and race their own cars. Guys that look like Fonzie with girlfriends that look like Frenchy.
To make cushion covers cut your t-shirt the width of the cushion height plus about a half inch on all sides. You might want to cut the front piece separately from the back if you have a big scoop neck in the front. I added a zipper on the side of the back of the chair so that I could remove it to wash it.
Now I get to think of that fun day at the drag races anytime I sit down at the desk!
