The suggested video shows how to use a ready-made cushion but does not show any directions for measuring a piece of foam to fit inside the sham.

• I'm not that good on measurements either but maybe you could find a loose sofa or chair cushion (that is the right size for your lawn chairs) and try the directions given in the video.
• If you can find a cushion that is close to the size you need then you could use that cushion as a guide as to what size to cut your foam.
• You may have to make it larger or smaller than the cushion but you want it to be snug fit.

• You may also have to stitch up the back to keep the cushion shaped properly.
• If your lawn chairs are going to be outdoors (in any kind of damp weather) I would suggest washing your pillow shams before using.

The woman who wrote this article cut up a couple of sides, put the pillow in and sewed up the sides again. You can see the tutorial here: www.exquisitelyunremarkable.com/.../recovering-furniture-with-pillow...
