That’s so great Laura! Are you waling or considering walking? I know it’s hard in the winter, but it’s felt good to get out on the warmish days. I absolutely hate the gym but I make myself go. Okay, I’m gonna go find you on Instagram now!

No blog anymore! It was really an interesting, very existential deciding-who-I-am moment (or something), so I’m just on Instagram for now!

Also-right before you referenced me, and I mean like the DAY you posted this, I was talking to my boyfriend about you and you’re amazing walking every day, doing so awesome, looking so great-ness, and pulled up your blog to show him, saw your new post, read my name, had a lovely surprise happy moment. So thanks!

Laura! You are so great for giving me all this info, Thank You! I just ordered foam from Rochford online. I’m a wimp and it’s too cold to go outside with the kids and Rochford isn’t open in the evenings. I’m hoping it will be arriving in a day or two and shipping wasn’t to expensive locally.

Okay, measure, I will remember that! I am a perfectionist, so hopefully that will play in my favor (or drive me crazy), keep your fingers crossed fir ne! I was looking for your blog just the other day so I could link back to it, that explains it – if you have a website I’d love to include a link back to you.

Thanks for the tip Liza, I’ll have to consider that is a back-up-plan. I wish I had more time to take classes ;)

Also, I love single cushions, and Rochford will cut to size for you (for a small fee. $5?). My only tip on long cushions is measure, measure, measure. The longer the seams, the easier it is for your corners on a box cushion to not line up.

Hit me up if you need anything! And thanks for the shout out! (Even if I just took my blog offline. :/ )

Thanks for the encouragement Kara! I’m GOING to put an order in today and then yes, once I have all my supplies in one place I’ll destroy this project! Thanks for the tip on Mill End, I will see if it’s possible to get over there this week.

Mill End Fabrics in the Twin Cities is going out of business right now – maybe you could snag a good deal on some fabric.

Hi Robin, good idea. That sofa is still hanging out in the garage, I can’t part with it yet. Unfortunately that sofa would be way to large for that little space :( Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for all the tips Cindy! Yes, I am totally avoiding any sort of pattern, so check! I will make sure to have my phone handy for pics, and I will see if I can use any of the pieces as a pattern for the new cushions! Thanks!

Ha! Thanks Amy! Oh man, tufting would look great but that’s going to have to be one of those things that I feel out as I go along. Right now, I’d be happy if I could trim the cushions in piping successfully. Thanks for the boost!

Yes, sold – you have all the right reasons! I am totally going to go for the two long cushions. Thanks Ann Marie!

Kaitlin! Thanks so much for the vid links, I will for sure check those out. I’m glad to hear you had success on your sewing machine, I was a little worried about mine holding up to upholstery fabric – this gives me hope. Where did you purchase your fabric from? I’ve only looked at fabric.com so far.

Hey Nikki, Yes I think I’m going to do the two long cushions. I like that idea very much actually. We also have the cushion problem at our house, the six that are on their now slide all over the place, it would be much better if there was only one to worry about – I feel your pain. Keep your fingers crossed for me :)
