How to Weave with Fabric

I haven’t gotten to talk about it much on the blog, but I absolutely love basketweaving. It’s something that my mom and aunt got me into and now I just can’t stop! Thank goodness it’s a slightly expensive hobby, or I’d be a very literal basket case.

I’ve sworn that I’m going to get my “to-do” pile in the sewing room this summer. It’s not quite a UFO pile…it kind of has it’s own classification. It’s all the silly things that are either super fast projects or just need fixed!

Anyway, today I set out to wrap up some things outside but I woke up to a yucky rainy day. So, off to Joann’s we went! I grabbed some 3″ foam, my 50% off coupon and I was determined to get this bench cushion out of my to-do bin! I figured that I would help you while I was at it; with this helpful tutorial, you’ll be able to make any sized bench cushion that you need! Follow my formulas and it’ll fit snuggly and look lovely! Let’s get started: (Continue reading…)
