Wrought Iron Table

We have a wrought iron table that needs a facelift. The old chair seats totally rotted (they were just plywood covered with batting and fabric). So yesterday I used my Christmas cordless jigsaw to cut some new plywood. I'm sure I did everything just the way Bob Vila would do it. He uses a step as a base to hold the wood and then stands on it to brace the plywood and doesn't wear safety glasses, right? He also has to cut things like 3 times to get them to fit and has wavy lines, right?

Good thing is that once it's wrapped in batting and fabric, you can't see the wavy lines.

I did one test cushion yesterday, but the fabric was just regular indoor and so today I went to Glick to look for some nice sunbrella fabric. Here were the top 3 choices that I found (notice the black and white theme):


The real decision was between the first and last choices. I went with the first. I like how the floral is such a large print. I went with that one. Hurrah! Only $10 for one yard.

Here's the finished product!
