Today my sister and I visited the store to get some clean fill for the cushion. Our local store had a big bag of it so I got that and a little extra. Turns out the big bag had enough, so I filled it to a nice amount then put it on the chair to see that it was enough. It was perfect, so I sewed up the hole in the bottom of the seat and added the tufts where I had made the markings. To make the tufts, I used one of my hand sewing Sashiko needles, and embroidery floss (that matched so closely to the green) as I did not have any furniture thread on hand. I tied a few knots at the back and hopefully everything will hold well, but if not, I will mend it. Here's what the finished cushion looks like on the chair!
I tried sitting in the chair and it is incredibly comfy. I'm so glad I chose to do the project.
The patio is coming together! The sealant dried enough that we could put our table and chairs in their designated area (we measured it before building the patio to make sure it would fit). And to protect the stones, you may be able to see some little squares of upside down indoor/outdoor carpet under the metal legs. The chairs had little rubber pieces on their feet, which I really appreciated.
The dream is to get an outdoor couch and coffee table for the last corner. I have been looking on Marketplace though haven't found what I want yet. We might end up getting something new though.
For plants, I have been considering a trellis and long thin planter box for between the fence and table and chairs. I would love to grow a flowering vine there, such as a honeysuckle or clematis. I might do some pots with flowers as well, after may 2-4 weekend. Then I need to add some more grass seed. I just wish I had opted for the clover instead when I bought it.
