Might have to see if I can get some slip covers sewn in the next couple of months.

We found some great deals at fabric.com -- that's what we did to get our new cushions made for Pearl. But towels certainly work in the meantime!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572905521059358017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580803911138944660.post-35263135706048298002017-05-19T09:40:29.227-05:002017-05-19T09:40:29.227-05:00Yes, we figured the light color wouldn't last ...Yes, we figured the light color wouldn't last too long. I'm already using rust-colored towels to throw over the cushions. I don't sew, so towels it is for now ..

At some point you may want to get zippered slipcovers for them that you could take off to throw in the wash. Sunscreen and just living does take a toll when you're living in hot places. So excited for your adventures! Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572905521059358017noreply@blogger.com
