How to Make a Basic Cushion | 1 Piece Box Cushion | 30 Minute Cushion

[@Thelisabest1]

What a great tutorial! I was watching 30 minute, 40 minute videos on how to do this wrap around miter corners, all day and got such unclear instructions. This girl did a clear, perfectly understandable tutorial in 7 minutes. Thank you so much!!!

"Such a great tutorial - I had been watching a few others that just confused me. I did a trial run and made 1 cover in about 45 minutes start to finish. Gave me the confidence to order the fabric to make a whole set. Thank you

Thank you! Thank you! I just made my cushion following this step by step. I can't believe how easy it was

[@dianajonesmohammed4591]

Very nice, clear instructions... i double stitch for durability , also i serge the fabric ends to take care of the fraying of the upholstery fabric,

[@onlinefabricstore]

This are really great tips! If you have a serger, I really recommend doing that! And I have never tried double stitching on something like a cushion, does it make the seams bulky? I would love to give this a try!

[@linleyearnshaw8134]

This worked like a dream. First time I've made a box cushion and I measured twice and cut once after very careful thought. It has come out just as explained and looks amazing. Thanks.

This is exactly what I needed. I need to sew cushions for the back of my couch. Just plan to sew 3 regular cushions with no overhang for the armrest cushions. I’ve been trying to decide how I want to make these. Your tutorial is absolutely perfect! Love the way you added the zipper - genius. Will be looking for some double sided fabric soon. Thank you for the detailed tutorial. Love everything about it. Great job. New subscriber to your channel.

[@markdunn4133]

CAUTION!! Use the *updated* written instructions when measuring and cutting the gussets, especially for thicker cushions, not the ones presented here. This video is fantastic just as everyone says, but we had to adjust our cushion to be 1/2" taller since we cut the gussets using the video instructions. This also made the resulting cushions narrower than we'd like so they don't sit perfectly in the chairs. We're still happy with them but wish we hadn't taken the video at face value!

Brilliant tutorial !!! I have just made my first cushion cover, I followed everything but actually missed the zipper out and it has worked out really well. My fabric is curtain fabric so didn't want to waste a zipper as the sofa's are reclaimed and would add more cost to my project but it has worked well. I might just go in and reinforce a little by hand or sew closed if I can be bothered. Thank you I have 2 more to do and then I have re-upholsterd a sofa and chair for £70 with Orla Kiely fabric !!

[@onlinefabricstore]

Great work! You totally don't need to add the zipper if you don't want one! I have a hand stitch that will work really well to close up that edge, you can find the tutorial here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZOoZpuOqZdqq7c

[@nannantastic537]

Loved the tutorial but confused about the gusset measurements. I understand that you use half the thickness of the foam and add 1/2” for seam EXCEPT for the fold. The. It’s just 1/2 the thickness of the foam, right? Why were your fold gussets 1 and 1:2 inches by 2 inches? Also the fold has to cover the wide part of the seat cushion - did I miss that somewhere for fabric measurement? Thank you!!!

[@conniep8616]

Oh my gosh! I've been stuck at beginner level sewing for I'm not going to admit how many years because a zipper has always been a mystery to me.I could never decipher written instructions. I'm so embarrassed to realize just how un-intimidating they have been all this time. Thank you!!!!

I have a sewing machine. I just pulled it out and got is serviced. I made these and they are beautiful!!!! I was too scared to do the zipper so I made flap and used Velcro. I’m kind of glad I did because putting the cushion in was a struggle! It also gave me play if the cushion was a little large. I’m using this pattern to make a tote bag.

Why are the middle gussets different than the corner ones? Should they be half your cushion height squared?

[@RobertHopkinsArt]

Excellent video! This may sound kind of like a of weird request, but, flight sim pilots need seat cushions that have a "square notch" cut-out at the front of the cushion that is 110 mm x 110mm. This allows us to have the flight joystick being placed in between our legs. Real planes have the joystick center mounted between their legs. How would we go about cutting and sewing this square notch? If you Google an F/A-18C cockpit you will see what I mean about the notch for the joystick. Thank you!

[@brendastoffels9230]

LOVE!

[@mmcohen166]

Overall a good tutorial - but the zipper install is a challenge with the zipper pull. You could separate the zipper sew each side, then reinstall the zipper pull. However, I am unclear on the seam allowances. is is a 1"seam allowance on all sides OR is it a half inch on all sides? I noticed in the video you did what looks like a 5/8" seam allowance on the gussets. I agree with other viewers as to why the gusset formula is different on the fold. I made my cushion per the formula but did not wrap with dacron and the cushion fit was off in the depth (or width) it is an easy project once the measurements and SA's are accounted for.

[@las174]

Great video. Beautiful fabric! So helpful. I am going to assume this would work the same for something 5 or 6 inches deep as well? If anyone happens to read this and thinks it won't work, let me know! Thank you!!!

[@evelynhunt2813]

Good day I was watching this video very informative have a few questions. First trying to make seat cushions for my kitchen wood chairs with the zippers and ties. Is there an pattern for 18 x19 seat cushions out there.??

[@mimholmes7185]

I like this video, however, if you cut 2 x 2 gussets, and do a half inch seam to sew them closed, you will get a longer than 3" seam, making the cover too big for your 3" foam cushion. This may not have been an issue for you, since you covered it will all that dacron, but it made a cover that would better fit a 4" piece of foam. Also, I would suggest pinning the zipper. I can't believe she sewed that zipper on without pinning, especially since you have to sew it without sewing onto the back of the closed tube of fabric. As usual, these tutorials give you a good start, but aren't entirely clear in their instructions. I was able to make a cushion cover that was good enough for my daughter's camper.

[@kathyw6079]

What if you don't cover with wrap first? How will that adjust the seam allowances and/or cut fabric measurements?

[@onlinefabricstore]

I would probably adjust your measurements to be about an inch smaller, but I would really take a minute to consider using the wrap. You will be able to see the edges of your foam if you don't. Which could be fine, but know that it is going to look different than if you bought any cushion in the store. If cost is the main consideration, go over to the thrift store and find a blanket with a decent amount of loft and use that as wrap! Best of luck Kathy!

[@kathyw6079]

Thank you so much for that information! Very helpful advice.

[@anneseward5554]

Hi there. Your video is the best I've seen on this subject. I have a problem in the fact that the width of my foam is 12.25 and the length is 35.75, thickness 5". Because of the length it would be best if I had the zipper along the back (L) of the cushion. The way you cut out the gussets wouldn't work for me. I think with your instructions I would cut out a piece 82.5" L x 18.25" W. But the gussets would have to be cut out differently. Could you help me understand how I would go about that?

[@onlinefabricstore]

Your L & W measurements can totally be swapped! Just switch those numbers in the formulas.

[@cindydavid387]

Great ❤️

[@susanroe3938]

One thing missing are ties - Do you have a tutorial for these if you are putting them in chairs? Agree, this video was very well put together. Are all of your seam allowances 1/2 inches?
