These are 2 of my original lounge cushions 18"/45cm square & made as part of a set of 8 together with 4 smaller cushions 12"/30cm square. Made reversible, they used a variety of black fabrics - moire furnishing taffeta, dressmaking velvet (printed & plain) & polyester metallics. Now not needing all the lounge cushions (having somewhat downsized), it seemed a pity to just discard them so decided to use the smaller ones for my dining chair backs.
However, having only 4 small cushions, I picked 2 surplus larger ones (those at left) & re-sized them, adding some fringing to match my others.
Here's the new smaller cushions - reverse side of those above. Until I can get into the dining room (kitchen's being re-decorated & most items stored here temporary), I can't take any pix nor verify if these cushions need a hanging device to attach to the chair. (This will have to happen later!)
