Made cushions for the chair. Well, the first pancake isn’t a total mess; it’s even usable. But most importantly, I figured out the technology and gained some experience and bumps along the way. Probably, that was the main goal, and the cushions are just a byproduct.
Creating something out of fabric is quite an interesting engineering project, even more complex than crafting something from wood. Millimeter precision and attention to detail – I still lack these, but they really are the key to success.
From an economic standpoint, it would have been easier to throw out the chair and buy a new used one. The cushions cost about $70, including fabric, foam, thread, a zipper, and about 6 hours of work – that’s taking into account another 20 hours spent on various other things beforehand, to ensure the cushions were more or less correct on the first try.
