I started searching around looking for cushions and let me tell you cushions are expensive!! For the size I needed four cushion would cost me about $250, no way not on my budget!! So I looked around and tried to think how could I cover the cushion on my budget! After searching I got an idea why not use cloth shower curtains to cover them. They repel water and come in great colors. I search and finally found this pattern that goes with the theme I had in my mind.
My mom help me make these cushions covers because I can't sew, so we laid the cushions out, cut and sewed them together. We left a slit so we could take the covers off and wash them if needed.
This is what the cover looked after they were sewn together.
Each shower curtain cost me $18 so that about $60 total. Here is the finished cushions on the furniture.
Have you ever used shower curtains for anything but the shower? Leave a comment below.
Talk to y'all later
That's quite ingenious! Im also in the market for new patio cushions, but I don't sew either. I'm searching at my local home goods and praying something within my budget shows up!

DeleteWhat a great idea. I love that pattern. They look awesome. Thanks for sharing these. I am pinning these.
ReplyDeleteThat was a creative idea to use shower curtains to cover them. I also don't know how to sew. Yes I have used an old shower curtain to place in my dogs cage, because he's a mess.
ReplyDeleteNo j/k. Like you said its water resistant.
Hey that a great use for it too! I don't have any pets.
DeleteI used a shower curtain to make a few couch pillows once. I love the results. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThats a good idea, may I will make some throw pillows for my patio to go with the cushions!
DeleteSo, so clever! Shower curtains, table cloths and dinner napkins are great for pillows. Love the pattern you chose.
