Re-Purpose Project Step 8 Finished Project!!

Step 8:
Sitting area for my little visitors. I am finally finished!! This is the book nook to come and get comfy in to read or a fun place to put on a show!!

I saved this old couch cushion because I thought I might just have an opportunity to use it. (Yes, I am a saver!) First I used a piece of newspaper to make a rectangle the size of the opening in the center. Then I used that template to trace the shape on the old cushion.

Once I had the newspaper template traced I used my electric knife to cut the foam rubber. I saw them use an electric knife at Jo Ann Fabrics one day when I needed foam for some chairs and thought it was a great idea! Once the shape was cut I made sure it fit in the opening, made some more paper templates for the sides and back and sewed the cover with a zipper in the back. Once that was completed I made two little pillows with some other extra pieces. 

And there you have it! There is room for plenty of books and maybe a basket of puppets too!.

This was one of the most fun projects I have taken on in a long time!

 From the beginning with an entertainment cabinet no one wanted, to a fun book nook!

 Now I guess I have to do
the homework I have from the past two classes I just finished!
Until next time, happy re-purposing!!
