How To Make A Round Chair Cushion: A Personal Experience

As someone who spends a lot of time sitting at my desk, I know the importance of having a comfortable chair cushion. However, finding the perfect cushion to fit my round chair was a challenge. That’s when I decided to take matters into my own hands and make my own cushion. Here’s how I did it:

Step-by-Step Guide

Materials Needed:

Foam padding
Fabric of your choice
Thread
Scissors
Measuring tape
Sewing machine or needle and thread

Instructions:

Measure the diameter of your chair seat to determine the size of foam padding needed.
Cut the foam padding to size using scissors.
Place the foam padding on top of the fabric and cut the fabric to size, leaving an extra inch or two on each side.
Place the fabric right-side down and center the foam padding on top of it.
Fold the excess fabric over the foam padding and pin it in place.
Sew around the edges of the fabric, leaving a small opening to turn the cushion right-side out.
Turn the cushion right-side out and insert the foam padding.
Hand-sew the opening closed and your round chair cushion is complete!
