$7.48 Porch Swing Makeover

2 shower curtains and 3 hours later a swings transformation.

 I love this swing but the original fabric had deteriorated after many years in the elements.

I searched out buying a new cushion, but couldn't find the right size and hated to pay $80 for something that didn't fit correctly.

On to plan 2, I headed to the fabric store to buy new outdoor cushion padding and would recover it with drop cloths.  Forget that idea it was $22 a yard.  Yikes!

On to plan 3, I purchased 2 shower curtains at Target, $7.48 total, and recovered the cushion I already had.

I even used the ready made button holes in the shower curtain to button the back closed, all I had to do is go to my button stash.

The best thing about this swing is it also folds down and makes into a bed, and I have used it that way many times to nap in the afternoons or at night to watch the stars.

Now if it will only warm up here long enough to enjoy it!
