Notes:
The crowning is optional. To add crowning you'll basically modify the shape of both the top and bottom face plate of the cushion, adding 1/2" inch to the front, 1/4" to either side, and nothing to the back where the zipper is. Since we are using a down envelope to stuff the cushion, we actually add 1/2" to each side as well. We start this extra half inch 8 inches in from the corners, and then draw straight lines tapering the extra half inch down to the half inch of seam allowance added. Try your best to keep whatever curves that you drew on your template, only using a ruler for straight edges on edges that need to be straight.

What size foam are you using…..

[@createwithcraftsman]

We used a down envelope so the foam is different than usual.
