Do you ever have those projects where everything seems to go wrong- well these last two cushions just happened to have EVERYthing go wrong. I ran out of brown thread (it's stashbusting September so I substituted black. Then I accidentally cut the long cushion fabric the wrong size. Instead of recutting the fabric or the cushion to the right size I decided to try and make the seam allowance smaller. Yeah, bad idea, don't do that!
The last thing that went wrong I feel a little guilty about- I ran out of cording- about 7 inches short- so I went and bought some. Now I know it is Stashbusting September, but one of my main goals was to finish this project. So in order to finish this project and get it out of my stash I did have to go and buy $.90 worth of cording.
Here is the porch swing- I still need to paint it, but I love the cushion on it!
I am getting pretty close to revealing my front porch- just a few more things to do!!
Linking up with these parties!
Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!!

I LOVE this! So gorgeous! Now you just need to get that hubby of yours to stain the porch! Ha!
Fabulous job on the cushions!! Your porch furniture looks great. The chair was a real find!
Must be great to be able to sew and make your own cushions. This is great. That swing looks inviting. Oh, I can't sew.

Well it is still a cute cushion! I read somewhere here in blogland about a substitution for cording... but I am not going to be looking that up, too busy looking up "huck towel" and "Pho".
Thanks once again for coming to the party!

Great job on the cushions. They really look like perfection. Love the fabric. I refurbished my front porch this summer also. It really increased the joy of rocking and swinging, some of my favorite past times.
Come by to visit and while you are there visit my front porch http://savannahgranny.blogspot.com/2011/06/friendly-front-porch.html
Hopping over from Bunny's hop.
