have you ever noticed how freaking expensive outdoor cushions are? it's ridiculous. well i now know why. because they are a BITCH to make. i found this diy idea on sew, mama sew! so decided to try it out thinking, how hard can this be? (and more importantly, maybe i can save some money) shit was hard. annoying. frustrating. i am still trying to work out the kinks in using my sewing machine and it kept jamming like a mofo. so i googled it...something about wrong tension, etc. but alas, i ended up with a cushion, albeit a trapezoid cushion but a cushion nontheless...

sewing on the piping...definitely the easiest part of the project.
installing a zipper....
sewing on the gusset....not easy.
g.d. corner was the death of me. but this also shows the zipper sewed on.
finished product....not so much rectangular...
