my mom was a seamstress & milliner. When she taught me to sew she insisted that the inside be as beautiful as the outside. This was a pleasure to watch.

[@jeanettepoe374]

I added "rope binding" to a twin bed mattress cover using solarium fabric using my commercial juki sewing machine. I used took apart old cover and used it as a pattern exactly. I noticed the fabric puckered a little as I was going along applying the cording but didn't think any thing of it and when I was attaching the sides now, Im about six inches shorter at the end on the main piece. what caused this?

[@tracybingham7739]

@@jeanettepoe374did you add in your seam allowances and the extra fabric needed to cover the cording?

[@margaretmone1131]

I wish I found this before I finished a set of boxed pillow cases. Most of my corners are puckered together or pinched. The way you explained how to sew around corners was soooo good! I’ll be doing that in future.

I am replacing the cushion covers on my patio set for the first time and was looking for a visual demonstration to help me figure it out. Your video is one of the very best tutorials I have seen with clear instructions and fantastic camera angles. With your help I was able to see where I went wrong with my first attempt and have now successfully made my first cushion cover. Only 11 more to go. Thankyou!

[@TheWorkroomChannel]

Thanks for watching! You got this!

[@Lindarees55]

Lovely clear photography. No waffle. Straight into it. Just what I love when I want instructions. Thanks!

[@betsybarry-gath4708]

Agreed! Thank you for being so clear.

This is a blast from the past. Growing up my father had a furniture shop. He made bedroom sets and living room/den sets. From start to finish, he did everything. My oldest sister was given a bedroom set and a living room set when she moved out. (She is much older than I am.) She had both sets, for 30 years. The bedroom set still looked brand new. And there was not even a loose thread on the living room set and yes, the fabric was very outdated!!! Products that are made with quality in mind, truly does last. Thank you for the video. I never had any clue on how he sewed the cushions.

[@tybrady4598]

I’m retired now, but watching this makes think this would have been a fun profession.

[@vikinglore1066]

Having been in the industry for 30 years even I found this to be interesting how different upholstery people do the same operations differently. Well done!

[@PEGuyMadison]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video, I need to re-upolster our chairs... most of the upholstery shops have closed up around our area. So its time I picked up a new skill.

[@Proactivehealthstyle]

Wish I had watched your video first! Now I'll go and unsew my project an do it the right way. Thank you!

[@kozmosis3486]

Its very satisfying to watch an expert work and create something both beautiful and useful. You explain things perfectly also. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@paulascott5701]

Thank you so much for this. You are a very good teacher! Thank you for showing us how this is done in the most clear way possible. Thank you for not trying to be cute and entertaining and have the focus on yourself. Though in not doing that, you come across as likable. 🙂

[@sallymeister4989]

I was very interested in this video. You are clearly very good at this, and it makes me want to upgrade things in my house. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for the time you took to do this. I am now subscribed.

[@TheWorkroomChannel]

Glad it was helpful!

[@richardcranium8408]

As a sailmaker, I get the occasional seat cover which isn’t my particular area of expertise. Now after watching your video, I’m more confident to do them 😊. Thanks for taking the time out to make it.

[@toyyibatmorisola2129]

Thanks so much ma.I really enjoyed the video.

[@TheWorkroomChannel]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Fiona-Jim]

Great video! I've just sewn my 1st ever box cushion cover. I'm recovering my old cushions for my narrowboat dinette. Was very apprehensive about how to tackle this task. And found that your video explains it very well and after watching and breaking it down into steps managed my 1st one. I have a hobby sewing machine and managed to sew it all even with a quite thick upholstery fabric

[@maryharvey724]

So clean and fine. Thank you.

[@carolinepark4033]

I’ve made a few rather loose box covers in the past- now understanding that I should have cut fabric smaller than foam. Thank you. Great tip!

[@graphicsite]

Perfectly explained...Thank You!

[@TheWorkroomChannel]

You are welcome!

[@user-dd8nv5fl6v]

Ditto here. My mom was a perfectionist. She looked at all of her projects as works of art and they were. Your work is as hers was.

[@channeldopesrelated]

Best tutorial, so easily explained, clean cut and calming to watch ❤ I’m soon starting a sewing job at a warehouse for patio furniture and I know how to sew cushions but I’m so nervous and excited that I’m just looking up everything anyways to make sure I don’t miss anything 😅😂 your video definitely helped me feel better at ease🙏🏼thank you

[@cjspeckart]

Excellent video! Probably the best one I’ve ever seen on how to do box cushions! Going to investigate the rest of your videos! I’ve been sewing for 60 years, and I always love learning new things! Or refining the techniques that I already know! Thank you!❤

[@Lawry579]

Thank you.I always enjoy watching your videos. Straight forward, no nonsense information delivered in a succinct manner 😊. I’m not a beginner but I always find something to add to my arsenal of skills. Brilliant!

[@janicepullan9987]

Always amazing, Thank you so much😘❤️

[@peterneate33]

Great video. I live near the White Cliffs of Dover in the UK. Just bought my first walking foot machine ( Jack H2) with servo control. It makes sewing box cushions a piece of cake.

[@Mukhtar-tube01]

The main reason I watch this video is because the fabric I cut for my cushion is okay but immediately i started sewing it It changed 😅😅 one was larger than the other but when I was cutting it it was same 😂 But you said it all some fabrics are knotty when you sewing it i swear You said exactly what I what to here in this video Thanks this video was helpful 💯 keep sharing was easy tips please 🙏 😀

[@carolyncruse3744]

Wonderful!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@DAWNIE-A]

Well I have been putting off making a cushion cover like this because I have been too afraid and didn’t think that I had the talent or ability to make it. Well, I have to say your video made it so easy for me to make this cover. I thank you so much for your video and can’t wait for what else you have in store for us😊

[@lisajennings2194]

What a fantastic video! Thank you so much for sharing this. I am about to attempt to recover some pieces of antique furniture I got second hand for little and nothing due to the shape it was in. It was exactly the style I wanted though and to buy it already reupholstered would have cost about 30k. I really appreciated how you addressed the thickness of the fabric with all those layers. I honestly was going to give up but when you said I could likely get away with using my home sewing machine with a thinner fabric I was so relieved to hear that. I am going to be using silk dupioni to re-cover the pieces as it will not get much use and is mostly decorative and that fabric is fairly thin. I am so excited to get my project underway now. Your clear instructions and all the information you shared has made me quite confident.

[@leebaillargeon7591]

This was the best video on how to make a box cushion. I watched several, yours was the best. I did each step and stopped it then did the step it worked great. Thank you so much!

[@gratienharindintwari9961]

Thank you to show us how to sew a cushion😘
