A little bit of Jennyanydots

After we had the new dinette fitted, we had to decide on the cushions to furnish it.

While we were deciding, our friends Anne and Ray offered us some cushions from their boat Jennyanydots. They had replaced their sofa, but kept the cushions from the original sofa.

We accepted their kind offer and set about converting two long cushions into four smaller cushions.

We started with two of these:-

We removed the covers and cut the foam to fit the dinette seats.

Liz cut down the covers and sewed them to cover the seat cushions.

The second cushion pad was then cut down to make the back cushions.

This was tricky as they had to be shaped to fit under the gunwales.

 

 

The covers were cut and sewed to make the back cushions.

And the job was completed.

Liz is no seamstress and has never tried upholstery before, but these cushions turned out OK. We are very pleased with the result.

Thank you Jennyanydots for donating these lovely cushions. They look great on Blackstone.
