Tutorial: Sewing a Cushion Cover

Sew a custom cushion cover with our simple and handy online guide.

We often dream of being able to refresh our home as we wish, but it can sometimes be too costly and bulky. 😣

Nothing beats sewing your own decoration! In this tutorial, we show you how to sew a cushion cover without a zipper simply and quickly!

Here is the list of materials you will need:

• fabric
• A pair of scissors
• clips
• thread
• A sewing machine

Step 1: Measure your cushion and replace L and l in the pattern below with your measurements.

L being the length and l the width.

⚠ As shown on the pattern above, you must add 20cm of overlap on one width only, 2cm on both widths to make double hems, and 1 cm extra on the lengths. This is a very crucial step before cutting your fabric!

Step 2: Once your fabric is cut according to the pattern, overcast once all around.

Step 3: You will make double internal hems on the wrong side of your fabric. On the width, fold twice to create the double hem then pin to help you sew. Repeat on the second width.

Step 3: As soon as your double hems are sewn, turn to see the right side of your fabric, fold 20 cm on one side of the cover then slip the other side under the fold.

Step 4: Pin to hold then sew!

Step 5: Turn your work over and there you go! You can put your cushion inside.

Create as many covers as you want, whatever the patterns or types of fabric!
