Ok I have never tackled actual cushions before and I am looking for some guidance. My daughter and I recently picked up some wicker and metal patio chairs that need new cushions and before I start sewing them I want to be sure it is not going to be cheaper and easier on my sanity just to go buy them. The metal furniture is a lounger and chairs, while the wicker is a large "papasan" style love seat

I "assume'the easiest way for the metal furniture is just to take the size foam that I need and make a cover - either in a pillow case style or box edges depending on my time and patience. The wicker is trickier since I am figuring it has to be fibre filled and tufted. this brings up a question or two. Any guesses on how much fibre fill I am going to need and I am "assuming" I should make a slip cover to aid in cleaning. Anyone have any suggestions for fabric as these will most likely end up getting wet since there are no guarantees people will bring them into the porch when it rains(I dont see a problem drying out the foam but the fibre fill is a whole different story)- fading is not an issue as I don't really care. ok thats all for now, fire away with your responses. elaine
