reupholstered danish modern chair

reupholstered danish modern chair by scmtngirl.
I have an obsession with Danish modern furniture. But I'm a thrifty kind of gal and refuse to pay top dollar for anything, especially furniture. I found this chair at the Salvation Army on Front Street in Santa Cruz for $18, I think. The wood is in near perfect condition, except for one small crack, and the original cushion covers were in good shape but an unappealing (at least to me) shade of dark blue, so I recovered them in a hot pink and orange french wallpaper-inspired fabric to brighten up a dark corner in my living room. yay.

I have [almost] this same chair, with 70's orange shag cushions, that I inherited from my husband when we got married, fortunately. I love the chait, however it is in desperate need of reupholstering! Did you use a pattern for the cushions?

Love this fabric!

@ jennifer12287: No pattern, just measured the cushions and winged it! I didn't actually close the seam at the back of each cushion either - just pinned for now until I figure out how I want to finish it off. Probably a zipper or maybe buttons...

I just bought an old Danish modern sofa and armchair. The sofa has a seat cushion but no back cushion. The chair has neither. You can see them on my page. I need to know if anyone can point me in the right direction to either find, make or have made some matching cushions for both. Any ideas?

I bought this chair at Goodwill for $5 and did a flickr search for similar chairs. You've given hope that I can recover it without wrecking it. :)
