See how the back cushions are keeping their shape but those seat cushions are an embarrassing lumpy mess? Well, that's partially my fault since I took the lazy way out last time and simply shoved more filling in to plump them up. Bad idea because now I'm stuck having to fix them all over again! I swear this sofa will be the death of me!
Time to open them up again...
...and reconstruct these babies. Open the interior casing, pull out all the stuffing and pick apart the channel dividers to create one open cavity...
I still had the rest of the foam I had purchased for this project initially to cut into shape with an exacto knife. I bought some quilt batting and flattened out some of the old stuffing to create some new layers...
then wrapped it all up and trimmed the shape...
The worst part was wrestling this into the old casing and hand-sewing it back up but I eventually got it in there. Hopefully this will be more comfortable and last a while longer. I'm pretty sure this is the last time I'm doing anything to this ridiculous sofa ~ next time, to the curb!
Now what to do with all this...
So that's what I've been up to over here. Have you tackled any projects lately?
