Super Easy and Simple DIY Zipper Outdoor Cushion Cover with Boxed Corner Tutorial

[@shellymarlenemartin2779]

Thanks so much! I hunted all over online,(including KZbin), to find the best tutorial for this and I picked yours because I was all around the best one for me. I’ve got my fabric all cut out and now I’m just waiting for my zippers to arrive so I can finish up. I’m so excited to be making my own. After this I’m never going to blow lots of money for expensive & boring looking cushions. It’s great to be able to customize! I am making a Barbie-core patio so my cushions are bright and fun. Thank you SO much for this easy to follow tutorial!

[@dianerobertson2277]

Your cushions look great! I'm really nervous about cutting the corners. You folded the fabric so quickly that I couldn't see how you did it, therefore I'm still at a loss. If you could possibly show that I think it would most definitely help all of us. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

I often change the playback speed to slow down the video. Go to the settings wheel on the menu at the bottom of the actual video screen. Select Playback Speed and choose the .75 or .5 speed.

[@MsPenny1962]

Great looking cushions, but you said as a beginner it would be easy I'm a decent sewer but the video was to fast and not enough detail or close ups. Would you consider doing a more detailed one🤞

[@kirklandbyers7658]

Could you please make another video about doing this. Specifically to explain the corner cut-outs in more detail and how to calculate their measurements according to how thick the cushion is. Thanks 👍

[@Sengerson]

Will do - I'm planning on doing one with outdoor cushion covers that are water-proof soon :)

[@xwarpedkarmax]

I'd like a video for outdoor cushions as well please!

[@mykindofstuff]

Yes please, looking for more details on the seeing corners. Thank you

[@barbra429]

@@Sengerson can you do one with a velcro closure

[@naomijansen9544]

Thank you very much for your video. Helped me a lot.

[@irenemorales5882]

Thanks for sharing, my cushions turn out very nice ,your measurement hints were very helpful I ended up using velcro instead of zipper 👍🏻

[@Sengerson]

You are so welcome!

[@susanjeffay3851]

Yes! Your measurement formula so helpful!!!!

[@melindageise1900]

This was an awesome idea. Easy to follow. My cushion turned out beautifully.

[@patlee7949]

You have inspired me to make cushions for patio furniture. Thanks

[@morena-galesa]

I found this really helpful, thank you! I've never seen this way of calculating measurements so as to use a continuous piece of fabric - love it. I've also never come across that method of doing box corners, which I thought was brilliant. If you ever had time to film a close-up of how to do the corners that would be amazing, although I imagine that once I try it on some scraps of fabric it'll become evident exactly how it works. Awesome video, thanks again! 🙂👍🏾🌟

[@Sengerson]

Glad it was helpful!

[@pattymcgill5207]

This is awesome. Thanks!!!

[@michellebirdsell6341]

great video. When you cut the corners from the folded side, do you cut the 2 inches from the folded edge or from the non folded fabric edge? Played at slow speed and still couldn't tell what you were saying because I just heard "edge"

[@Sahibaboutique]

Super clean finishing tutorial guideline for me your hard work is great.....

[@tammygillettVictoryGarden]

my cushions are 7" by 25 by 25 so not something I can buy online, event he 5" ones are so expensive. now to find fabric at a good price that isnt totally going to fade. Thinking if I did white that solve that fading problem

[@tracycook7355]

This was quite helpful however you just went to fast and didn’t show enough close up.

[@mirelavukosagiannidis2417]

I agree. Great content but for a newbie, would have liked closer shots of the corner and the zipper sewing

[@karenchelf2484]

Great tutorial only your width is my length.

[@donaldharris1763]

How do I sew in a zipper in an out door box cushion with a seam in the middle of the back?

[@All.aroundpilates45]

Thanks for sharing!

[@elisehovelson7345]

Could you do a more thorough visual of the corners? It was too close up and I couldn’t figure out any of the folds or instructions

[@mastermindsolutions3600]

hello honey how are you doing

[@scotthamilton384]

Thank you for the help! However, when you said to "do the same to all four corners," my fabric was folded in half. Thus, I ended up cutting incorrectly on the side opposite where the zipper was going to go. I used some fuse-able lining to piece it back together, but would have appreciated the instruction to UNFOLD THE FABRIC and *THEN* cut each of the four corners 2" x 2" to make the corners. This was totally on me, but if you add that info, it might save someone else from making the same mistake. Thank you!

[@gabriellaocarlsson2498]

yes i did the same because it looked like her fabric was folded when she cut...

[@LilyBecca]

Exactly. I follow the instructions exactly, so when steps are left out, I will make a mistake and then be completely confused.

[@amyshultz3293]

Ahhhhh! 😢I just made the same mistake!

[@gabriellaocarlsson2498]

im confused as to what happens after the zipper? I thought all the corners were already cut 2 inches?

[@kimmydee6112]

The final project really does l👀k great but the corner instructions were confusing and the visual wasn’t in focus.

[@kellymaisonet2039]

You gave great instruction on the measuring and cutting the fabric but the instructions for the corners I felt were rushed and I still do not have a great idea on how you folded them together for sewing.

[@MelissaHinton-uo2ej]

Can you go over the second set of corners; you did I fast and I missed some of it. My cushion is 3" deep, so what size do rectangles/corners need to be for second set?

[@sue3424]

I have no idea what you did. with this cushion. cutting the squares to make a box. I am lost. On to the next video. Maybe someone can help me. BTW. slow down.

[@pepperderr1388]

I have no idea how you did the corners...how you folded them to sew them. You didn't really show it.

[@shannonmcclendon3917]

This would have been great, but really all I got out of it was how to measure. Beyond that, the few close-ups there were were blurry and you went too fast. Even though I have done a lot of sewing, I didn't get what you were doing.

[@asiwaspassing9289]

Exactly!

[@ourhighstreethome9177]

I felt the same way I felt I got confusing.

[@gaynellhall4696]

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

[@itsmelaura1533]

I've never heard of sewing the gussets first. Couldn't tell how you folded the fabric in order to do it.

[@Ktakahashi18]

I would have liked to see how you cut your fabric a little better. You went through that a little to fast for me.

[@Sengerson]

Sorry! I'll slow down next time!

[@timothyburroughs4793]

Where did you find your zippers? Can I use one that is measured by the foot or do I need one that is closed on the end?

[@debzomer]

Very nice tutorial. You think I could do it in my janome hd3000 and heavy fabric?

[@kennethsarita]

may I know where you get the foam? and what's it called?

[@pamjones4671]

Hi, I have a question for you. You said in your tutorial that you always box out 2 inches on the cushions so if you have a cushion that is 4 inches thick why would you always cut out 2 inches for the box?

[@Sengerson]

Great question. I cut 2 inches + 1/2 inch seam allowance because you fold the fabric over. Once it folds over, it meets the other 2 inch piece that you see together to form the box cushion!

[@LawrenceRinconLoRinKo]

where do you find the foam?

[@thymelapse4838]

I got lost when you started cutting corners. I'm a very beginner sewer, so maybe that's why..

[@annagouge8570]

I’m new to sewing and as with a lot of other video’s, I’m unable to follow due to talking fast and not showing every step clearly enough.

[@Sengerson]

Sorry Anna! There is a half speed on KZbin, so you can always try that!

[@sandracroderique950]

So true waste of my time

[@breezep.7693]

This is not a beginner sewing friendly tutorial.

[@Sengerson]

As a beginner, maybe try doing it without zippers.

[@sarap9421]

Definitely cannot tell at all what was going on with the corners after they were cut. This ended up a waste of time because of that. Not going to waste all this fabric to fold and sew it wrong.

[@greatfuliam412]

VERY CONFUSING AND NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. If you want to help, PLEASE SLOW DOWN and actually do it step by step.

[@yolandaleamon1440]

That is what the pause button is for. ):

[@GASainz]

There is no way a beginner would understand the super fast instructions. You need to slow down. Don't just do the step but demonstrate all aspects of the step. For example, beginners probably never put in a zipper. Tell them how slowly and show them by zooming in so they can see what is happening.

[@MichaelLives17]

I’m basically going in blind still. It’s either fast tutorials with no close up’s, or lots of close ups & 45 minute story-telling of who taught them to sew. If I mess up, I mess up oh well I can’t sit through any more of these. Lol

[@SuzetteG316]

Exactly. This is not for beginners. Everything moved too fast and she left out too much. I am moving on the a better done tutorial.

[@sam27ellsmere]

All was easy until 4:30 totally lost after that

[@sueroper3139]

you went way too fast on the boxed corners and then didn't show us the result. WAY Too fast. I would love to see what you are talking about once you finish each step.

[@sandracroderique950]

Seriously am lost

[@marykilgo9447]

I wish you had gone just a bit slower on the instructions.

[@BenCundiff-v3d]

Im lost. Could you possibly do a new video with more detailed instructions better shots of what you are doing?

[@55felisha1]

Omg this was so fast spoken and had no idea what she was doing.

[@markmcneely9236]

You totally lost me ! Don’t understand how you thought you were teaching with everything in very fast motion...

[@sandracroderique950]

Thank you

[@christinetookey5637]

You can slow the replay speed down by tapping the three dots at the top right corner of your screen......However her spoken instructions were very vague!

[@paulajenkins2056]

This is so hard to do not simple at all !!!

[@thegalley1662]

Could have been great but the box corners are not shown in detail enough. The video goes too fast and is speeded up so much you can't actually see what to do. Shame.

[@SuzetteG316]

This is definitely NOT for beginner sewers. She leaves out so much and could have done a much better job of SHOWING what she was doing while sewing instead of having the camera move fast and all herky jerky. I am not new to sewing and even I found this hard to follow. I am moving on to a better done tutorial for this type of project. She started off great then it all fell apart when she got to the most important part, the sewing and construction.

[@tracycook7355]

Hi great tutorial. However your formula for fabric cutting is wrong I followed exactly what yuh said I measured three times to make sure i was right. And ended up being three inches too short. This cost me £30 to buy replacement fabric not impressed

[@Sengerson]

Hi Tracy, I'm sorry that you had to buy additional fabric. I've made this a couple of times with my own measurements I shared and never came up short. Maybe you are sewing the seams too big? I'm not sure - YMMV.

[@sonweb8050]

I wouldn't say this is beginner friendly, I'm totally lost sorry 😢

[@LilyBecca]

This video is so fast, there's no way it is suitable for a beginner like me

[@PatriciaAshton-k4h]

Why do these demonstraters talk so fast ,and dont show dlowly ive given ip

[@Shirmagedrusclau]

I've seen a tutorial that actually she measures takes the measurements and show how she got the measurements for the actual pillow cushion that she is going to put a new cover on. Your tutorial is not good

[@TheMyjournii]

I'm sorry, you lost me when you started folding the fabric...did I miss you explaining that part? It was just before you started cutting the corners

[@juliemoss6175]

I sew a LOT and this video makes no sense to me

[@SixLemons]

Too fast to follow Video was not clear to follow

[@LYoung-op5ub]

Too fast and too much
