Tutorial: DIY floor cushion

Pretty Prudent shares a downloadable PDF showing how to make this floor cushion that’s perfect for lounging or reading books. The stuffing is actually an old comforter, which most of us have around the house. There’s a handle on the top so you can carry it easily from one spot to another, and a zipper on the bottom makes it easy to take out the stuffing to throw it in the wash. The project is an excerpt from the book Sew Quick, Sew Cute: 30 Simple, Speedy Projects by Fiona Goble. Go to Pretty Prudent to get the free project.
