Bam. Awesome. First, let me tell you. We found these awesome chairs (which I'm pretty sure are lawn chairs) on our neighbors curb at 10 pm one night. My husband about had a heart attack when I told him I wanted to rescue/steal them. Now you know I have shady ethics about stealing from this post but even so I still thought it was a no brainer. And it was. We now have our neighbors' blessing. 

After a bit of cleaning up, these chairs sat in our garage for 4 months. We're super efficient here. When I finally got around to this project it only took a day to finish it. First a stop at Ikea for the pillow cushions on the back, to Fabric Depot to pick out some awesome fabric (my husband's super rad and super retro choice), and then finding a small camping mattress that I could cut into perfect cushion sized squares for the bottom! Actually that sounded like a lot. 

I sewed the slip covers using a method similar to this. I highly recommend it. The chair on the left is sewn like a basic pillowcase with a hole for a zipper. Turns out you have to buy those. So there are big holes at the bottom ends of both cushions where those zippers should be. The chair on the right required no fancy zippers, so it is obviously my favorite.
