Followed this tutorial step-by-step to recover my patio furniture cushions. They came out great & I'm so happy I found your page!! Never sewed anything other than a basic pillowcase before, now I feel like a pro!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@onlinefabricstore]

I love this! I am so happy we could help!

[@kelleybonner9578]

Thanks so much for this video! You easily cut my sewing time in half, and made my sewing project really fun! I made four cushions in under two days & they look great! I found your simple instructions easy to modify for my needs - adding tiebacks, beefing up the foam size a bit & putting an upholstery style zipper in. I did need to add a few pins when sewing the pieces together. Your sewing skills are impressive :) We recently had our dining room chairs professionally reupholstered in the same Vern Yip fabric that you feature in the video. Love it!

[@6Pringles]

You made it look so easy! I have foam that I bought a looong time ago, I also got fabric and with this tutorial I'm ready to try and make the cushion for a swing. I learn by watching KZbin, thanks for an excellent tutorial.

[@carolinelindsey1959]

Excellent tutorial, thank you! Just made a window seat cover today using it. The bit about the zipper was especially helpful! It came out great!

[@shelleynicholson7141]

Best tutorial of any kind I have seen. Precise easy to follow, quick and non-repetitive. Thank you. More youtubers should follow your lead.

[@juanitapatterson6364]

Thank you so much for this video! It's the only one that has really and truly gave precise instructions on how to make a box cushion cover. I'm going to redo the first two that I did using your instructions! You rock!

[@onlinefabricstore]

Thank you Juanita! Glad we could help :)

[@cariblass]

Great tutorial! This was my first attempt at making a zippered box cushion and it turned pretty good!

[@kefirheals7383]

This was the best tutorial I've seen for how to measure and cut the fabric for a box cushion. I always had a problem when it came to the correct measurement for the zipper placque. Thank you.

[@onlinefabricstore]

Happy to help!

[@venuslangcao7398]

I just followed this steps and voila i made our lounge chair a foam with a wonderful cover. Thank you so much!

[@nickigriffin4065]

can't get over that cute nail color!

[@hscott2000]

Thank you for the great video I have used this as reference when making new box cushions. I altered my pattern to have the zipper wrap around the edges for an easier fit because camper cushions have a board under the foam. I flipped my seams ripper over but I lived your tip on how to sew in the zipper! I was nervous about that and your instructions were perfect. I was a little confused on the note about the width of the zipper but after asking my sister she reassured me you meant the width of the zipper including the fabric not just the teeth. You video was fast paced and not repetitive which was great! Thank you for sharing!

[@jamestheblacksmith]

Making a waterproof cover for my (very old) dog's bed. Thanks for the straightforward video. As a guy who started sewing last month you've made the project less intimidating.

[@dpistoltube]

thank you for showing me a no piping look:) I'm not ready to try piping yet and have been wondering how it would look.

[@venuslangcao7398]

I don't really sew. I just learned sewing during my high school days. Now that i am a home maker, instead of paying somebody to do stuffs for our apartment homes, i just do it on my own. Thank you so much for this very helpful video. I saved money. I will put piping on my next works soon.

[@ZiogaiSuokia]

Wonderfull! First time made box cover for cushion. YOUR tutorial is brilliant! Simple, clear, esthetic! Thank you! ❤

[@MatthewMcDermott]

Thank you for this! My window box cushion project was a bit more complicated but your video helped a lot! I appreciate the tips.

[@darlalynw]

I’ve been looking to replace two patio seats and this video was VERY helpful. Retail prices were $120 to $200 and they weren’t the right size. This video gave me refresher course since I haven’t sewn in a long time, and saved me a lot of money. I was looking at another big retailer who is local and on-line, where I thought I was getting good prices until I found they didn’t carry the upholstery zippers. Then I looked at your shop and the fabric they had “on sale”( LMAO) was drastically beating by your regular (non-sale) prices. I purchased the material, heavy duty thread, zippers, Dacron padding, adhesive spray, 3 yards of fabric marker and machine needles all for less than the other store for 2 yards of fabric and padding. For only $53.00 with free shipping and $5 off from a coupon I found on-line. I am so happy!! On top of all this, when I’m finished, I’ll have two beautiful custom Tommy Bahama cushions and possibly pillows. I just hope they come out as beautiful as this video. I’m little confused on the whole sewing around the corners bit. Thank you

[@onlinefabricstore]

Thank you so much for sharing! Sorry if that part is a little confusing, we do have the full written instructions here: www.onlinefabricstore.net/makersmill/how-to-make-box-cushions-with-a-zipper/ Hope this helps!

[@jennifermaddock4382]

Excellent video and I appreciate the written instructions as well. It's very useful to be able to customize the size of the cushions. Thanks a lot.

[@Bridget2460]

This was a great video, although I’ve been sewing for 38 years I learnt some great sewing tips from your video. Thank you!

[@onlinefabricstore]

Glad it was helpful!

[@asterisk800]

amazing video - easy to follow. Now if we can all just learn your sewing skills.

[@lyonstill3139]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I've been looking for an easy way to cover an existing cushion for my favorite bamboo chair!! I'm definitely trying this soon!!!!

[@nicolblakely1]

Thank you! This is the best tutorial on how to properly sew a box cushion that I have found. Great job!!!

[@loriandersen]

Haven't sewn in years...attempted to cover sunroom box cushions with a zipper. Your video was invaluable. So easy to understand. Helped me through the pattern making phase to the finish. Thanks so much from Canada 🇨🇦

[@onlinefabricstore]

I am so glad!

[@esmehenderson6003]

Wow that was helpful - thankyou - I would never have thought of putting a zipper in like that!

[@lindabeaudoin8911]

Thank you so so much!!!!! You were my saver for this project!! It was easy and the result is beyond my expectations!!! Merci beaucoup!!!! ❤️

[@mollabolla00]

Thank you for this tutorial! I made four cushions for my van and I felt like a professional! Thank you!!!!!

[@onlinefabricstore]

[@joanazucena7477]

omg I love the zipper technique.

[@onlinefabricstore]

Thanks Joan!

[@the_best_lord]

It’s a game changer, isn’t it? I’d never do it any other way now

[@grammadrm4974]

Thanks girlie for your tutorial. I haven't sewn in years. This vid really helped me get back on machine to make patio cushion covers. I made a few trial attempts 1st.

[@onlinefabricstore]

I always tell people to keep lots of muslin on hand for that exact reason! I find that making trial runs is the best way to get a fantastic end result. Work out any kinks before using your expensive fabric!

[@sarahmyk9356]

I am semi new to sewing and your video was very helpful and explained it nicely. Thank you.

[@flappinfish2002]

Exactly what I needed to make the covers for my camper van mattress, which will basically be 4 box cushions. This video helped tremendously - thanks!

[@onlinefabricstore]

Glad it helped!

[@kellywhitley3516]

Brilliant! You did an amazing job!

[@takjensen]

I love that zipper process. I've been so nervous sowing my first zipper on! Thanks, this helps!

[@dojagrl209]

takjensen yupp that chamged my life lol

[@jenniferschomaker8657]

I've been doing zippers for years and this was the easiest I've ever seen. Well done!

[@lanas.2129]

I could not find what I wanted so I will just be making my own cushions for my patio chairs. Beautiful work, thank you!

[@wealthworldexchange4u200]

I love the way it looks. And that is so professional on the zipper section. :)

[@juanitapowers3435]

This is a wonderful video and I also downloaded the instructions. I can't thank you enough. I have looked for days for this kind of video and instructions. Thank you a million times ☺️👍

[@onlinefabricstore]

You're welcome! Happy it helped!

[@grantthornley6348]

Really liked your video. I have never sewn before but with your excellent instructional video I was able to create some good looking box cushions. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together as it allowed me to save $2,000 from the quotes we received for the recovering of our patio cushions.

[@onlinefabricstore]

Great to hear!

[@abdurraufabbasi7885]

[@onlinefabricstore]

Thank you!

[@DONphantasmo]

great job

[@lukefontenot7673]

Thanks for the video. It has proven helpful as we have had to watch it a few dozen times. Two questions when you are cutting the boxing, your calculation states “foam” bit do you also consider the batting as in addition to the thickness of foam? # 2 when you say length of zipper are you referring to the actual length plus 2” or the zipper opening plus the 2”?

[@jeevapriya6264]

Really it is very easy to sew
