The crafty lady behind the blog Handmade by Alissa is a pretty sweet sister. When her sib Cate moved into a new house with a very unfinished cement blocked patio, she decided to give it a much-needed facelift by sewing some cheerful cushions and pillows. She sewed one long cushion to run along the cement block bench, two arm rests, and a handful of throw pillows. The result is not only pretty but cozy, and just the thing to get her sister entertaining outdoors. Ohhh . . . what you'll do for a free dinner! To see the results, read more.

Adorable, right? I love the bursting pattern and red and teal palette of her fabric. The string lights make a vast difference as well! Read more about it here.

    It's kinda cute but uh... not that big of a transformation. Neat patio, though!

    Adorable! Were it me, I might have made long cushions for the back too, because leaning back on a throw + cement is not so fun! Still, I love the look, and the general idea.

    great job on the cushions (and the piping around them, that aint no small task)!!! i think i would paint the brick also.... obviously the just moved in and there's probably a million more tasks and projects that are higher on the todolist...

    "not that big of a transformation" Foxie? Wow, I think just the addition of such a great color scheme and the lights makes it look like a whole new patio.
