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!
1that is sooooo cute!
2Adorable! 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.
3oooo lala!
4Wow, love those cushions!
5Absolutely adorable. It cleaned up nice.
6Very nice! love the fabrics!
7great 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...
8"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.
9I love it but I would have painted the cement block for an added transformation feel.......
