How to Make Outdoor Pillow Cushions - Chevy Print Patio Pillows

1. Get some weather proof fabric and foam

2. You'll need something, in the shape and size of the cushion you want to make, so you can trace it onto the foam and cut it out.

3. Use your cut foam and place it on the fabric. Double layer the fabric so you can cut both the back and front of the cushion together.

4. Cut around the foam about a 1/2 inch. 

5. With right sides of fabric together, sew edges. 5/8" is fine. 

6. Leave a space where you start and stop sewing so you can pull the fabric through and insert the foam.

7. Pull the fabric through the opening so seams are on the inside.

8. Roll up the foam so it can fit through the opening in the fabric.  

 9. Insert foam into fabric opening.

10. Hand sew the opening closed with a ladder stitch.
