The kids are out of school, the weather is warm and it’s finally time for all of those fun activities in the great outdoors. There’s nothing like the joyful sounds of wild abandon as kids run through sprinklers, fly through the air on a rope swing or sail off on their bikes down the road. But there are also those moments in the hot summer months when kids will want to just sit quietly and relax. To provide lightweight and waterproof padding for anywhere a kid might want to sit, you can make one of these cute vinyl seat cushions from an old tablecloth. If you were a Girl Scout, you might remember this type of seat referred to as a “sit upon” (or, something to “sit upon” to stay clean). Whatever you choose to call them, these seats are so easy to make, you could make one for all the kids in the neighborhood.

Such a great idea, Beth. I work in London and at lunchtime we like to sit in the Embankment gardens. But the grass is often damp (no surprise there!) So I think I need to make a few of these for me and my colleagues!
I really like the Round Sit Upon. It is a good project for little sewers! On Jul 5, 2016 12:15 PM, “The Renegade Seamstress” wrote:

I was a Girl Scout and I totally remember doing this!
