Bistro Table Seat Cushions

These Bistro table seat cushions are super easy to make and are a great addition to the usefulness of the table!  I got this nice, white-painted iron bistro set for a great price.  The first fix-up I did to it, was to get a circular table-top piece of glass for the table.  The floral details in the iron made for a bumpy table top, which causes cups to tip precariously on the surface.

I realized the table needed seat cushions after attempting to enjoy dinner at the table a few times.  I got this great printed canvas-like material at a discount store, and I knew it would be perfect for these seat cushions.

I began the project by finding a circular plate, that was the right size, to trace the desired shape from. I had some left over thick foam, which can be purchased at fabric stores, and I cut the circle shape out of them.  (Tip: compress the foam when you cut it, to get a smooth cut)

Then I cut out two fabric circles a little larger than the foam.  Placing the "right" sides together, I stitched around the circle with the sewing machine, leaving several inches open.  Then, I turned the fabric inside out, so that the "right" sides would be facing out.  To insert the foam circle, I rolled it up like a burrito, and put it in the opening.  Once inside, I unrolled the foam and positioned it correctly in the seat fabric.  The opening still needed to be stitched up, similar to stitching a pillow opening.

After that, all I needed to do was add the khaki colored trim (bias tape) with a contrasting thread, and add little ties with the same trim.  I decided to hand sew this on to add more texture and color to the trim, and I think it adds charm. :)

Now, we can sit at the bistro table with ease!
