So off I went to the fabric store to pick my pattern. But . . . all the choices. Should I pick blue? Yellow? or perhaps a color that would hide the dirt...but that wouldn't be "sew" pretty ;)
I spent a long time wandering the aisles trying to pick my fabric pattern...but there were polka dots, strips, and even Victorian designs. In the end, I went with a Better Homes and Gardens fabric that reminded me of spring. . . now if only the rains would stop.
To cover the cushion, I started with the foam and the fabric spread out on the floor. I had to find a lot of room to see what I needed to do. I laid the fabric and the foam out so I could cut it to size.

What pretty fabric!
Our dogs are two of a kind - I made ours a bed very similar to your new cushion, but she ate it :/
I'm not a dog person, so I have a very silly question . . .
What do dog owners mean when they say the dog "ate" something that isn't exactly food? Do you mean the dog just tore it to shreds with its teeth. Or do you mean it actually swallowed and digested the object?
I always wondered about this. Oh, and a very nice cushion! I have to admit it looks sooo inviting to sit upon. I hope you show us an updated pic after the repainting and when the sun comes out. :)
Adrienne: I know dogs can be crazy but we love 'em anyway.
David: Some dogs, like mine and Adrienne's, eat most anything and everything. I've known dogs that eat rocks and when they "pass" through their system it's painful.
My dog only ripped and chewed on the fabric...this time. But she has eaten...literally...lots of inedible things, including lots and lots of underwear. Sometimes you'll find bits and pieces of fabric out in the yard - after it's "passed" through her.
And sun...? What's that? Around here it might be confused with a UFO.
That's such a wonderful spot.
Very pretty!
