my daughter recently received the ikea latt table for a gift and my hubby and i have found ourselves with sore tushies!  i decided after no luck hunting for seat cushions for the hard wooden chairs to wing it and make some cushy for the tushy.

i am a beginner sewer so i would change a few things if making this again but overall we love them and the process was easy.

i found some foam forms at the local walmart and used a pillowcase from the dollar store (i love that i paid a dollar and got to add to my stash) and the ribbon ties were left over from xmas wrapping. 

i basically sewed a slipcover for the foam and envelope closed the corners.  sewed on the ties and voila.  cushy for the tushy - bring on the tea parties!
