Have you ever started a project and subsequently abandoned it for whatever reason (including boredom, lazyness, life, stupidity etc.) and then when you started it again you finished in no time at all?
And wandered what was all the fuss (and boredom, lazyness, life, stupidity etc.) all about?
Today I finished covering my kitchen chairs cushions. All 4 of them. Yeah I know, huge number. Four.
I didn't have to make the cushions, cheap IKEA ones who were supposed to washable. Well they 'are' washable allright, the stains just didn't wash off... or maybe it's my children that produce particularly resiliant stains... either way, they were disgusting and needed covering.
Enter lovely-piece-of-bark cloth-which-looks-perfect-against-the-wall found at the local car boot sale... in May. Yes, May.
One chair got covered fairly swiftly, still drunk with excitment and enthusiam.
As I said before the last one was done this morning. In 15 minutes (don't look too closely and the craftmanship). One five.
Doh.
Guess who feels like a wally.
I know the question is rhetorical but YES. LOL.

We have three bar stools in our kitchen which the kids find uncomfortable, the cushions on them are mismatched, misshaped and filthy.
At the beginning of the year, when I was churning through the sewing,my man said 'if you sew only one thing could it just be cushions for the stools'. He was right, they are so necessary. But I still haven't sewn them.
I am a little more inspired now!

This is a great incentive to get the UFOs out of the cupboard for finishing - your cushions are great!
