At last! Someone that doesn’t prattle on about everything and anything and is straight to the point! A very well constructed video tutorial and great instructions! Thank you 🙏
Quick, easy! Someone who knows how to make a great video without over talking by repetition of stated steps & by not showing unnecessary steps such as the stitching of seams. Loved it! Thank you
Finally someone who is making the cover at 17 inches a inch a half smaller than cushion (of 18 inches and seam allowance of half an inch) itself so that it puffs out. I’ve been following other instructions anfd the covers are always too big. Thank you !
I haven't shown in years. This has got to be the best tutorial on applying a zipper on a pillow. Nice and to the point. Oh and the first pillow that had the zipper on the top is still beautiful. Great video.
Thank you so much for this video! After 2 years of owning a sewing machine and being too afraid to use it, I’ve finally made my first cushion cover and it actually turned out good!
That's brilliant 😊. I am so happy to hear that you had great success with your cushion cover. Putting in a zip can be a bit daunting, especially for someone just starting out, but after you've done a couple you will think nothing of it. It's really quite easy.
You did a fantastic job with this tutorial. Easy instructions, pleasant voice, I have every confidence I can put one of these together using your tutorial! Thank you so much!
As a newbie I had to watch this several times, sew - pause - sew - pause. After two days and several pieces of fabric on the floor .... yes! I did it. My first sewing job done! Thank you. I watched other channels too but this was by far the easiest to follow. I have got the bug.
Oh dear! Brenda, you may have found the written instructions helpful. 😊. Here is the link www.alandacraft.com/2018/10/30/zippered-cushion-cover-tutorial/. I am glad to hear that you got the job done, and are ready to make even more projects.
Thank you so much for this! I'm a DIY type of guy and I wanted to try making some throw cushions for my sofa. This video gives such clear and concise instructions that even an absolute beginner like me can follow them! Thank you! Subscribed!!!
Thank you for your lovely comment Andre. Maybe you can share some photos on the website when you have made your cushions. Here is the link if you are interested. www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/ We love seeing our viewers projects.
Well this has just given me complete confidence to go and make my own cushion covers. I watched with the sound off, no subtitles, and it was STILL a great video! Thank you. So clear and concise 👍
Thank you for your lovely comment. It's really easy to do. 😊. Here is a link to the written tutorial as well www.alandacraft.com/2018/10/30/zippered-cushion-cover-tutorial/
With the measurements given for the fabric size in relation to the cushion pad size and the half inch border, I thought the cover would be way to small. I apologise for doubting your expertise. It is perfect! The easiest cushion cover I've made. Thank you. I'm really looking forward to trying more tutorials from your website.
Clear and to the point video and like a few other viewers mentioned, without unnecessarily showing sewing the seams. You have a soft voice which is easy on the ears. Thank you for this no fuss video!
I made a patchwork quilted cushion cover using your zipper installation method....it came out perfect 🤗 You made me look like I knew what I was doing..lol I love your videos , thank you 😊
Thank you so much for this easy tutorial! First time making a pillow cover, I was hesitant on the zipper but turned out to be quite easy going....my little 2year old cousin will love it with his little blanket and book for Christmas!
None of the tutorials I have previously watched explained what to do either side of the zip. Thank You so much for this straight forward explanation. Finally I can get my cushion made.
I used your video tutorial a couple of years ago and made a bunch of throw pillows. Your video was so great and simple and made doing zippers no longer intimidating. I just watched again because I’m making another throw pillow out of a tote bag that my daughter got me. Glad I could find you easily again.🩵
Thank you ! You explained it very easy! I always thought you needed a zipper foot because all the videos I have watched has used a zipper foot. Buy I see it can be done with a regular foot.
Ive seen people also sew a zipper over a closed /sewn seem and then pick out the seam once the zipper is sewn in. Keeps it very tight looking, although then you have pick marks. Thanks for the reminder to reinforce the corners!!
I'm a beginner, with an antique Singer hand sewing machine. I loved the straightforward and simple instructions you gave for every step of my first successful cushion project. Thank you!
I just found this tutorial of yours, grabbed my fabric and zip, and did it! I had never sewn in a zip in my life but you showed and explained it so well, that even I could do it. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I used it to make myself a custom pillow for my bed. I have not been able to find a pillow that worked me so decided to make one for myself. By having the zippered closure I can fiddle with the stuffing until I get it just right. Princess and the pea syndrome with arthritis in my neck has forced many changes in my life. You've saved my neck! I truly appreciate your explanations and demonstrations. You are an angel! Thank you again! ♥♥♥
Thank you so much for your lovely comment Debra. I am so pleased to hear that our tutorial has been helpful. There is nothing better than getting a good nights sleep, so it's good to hear that you have been able to help ease the arthritis in you neck. 🙂
I don’t know what kind of creature would give a “thumbs down” on this tutorial! I’ve been so intimidated by zippers that I’ve avoided them, but after watching your excellent tutorial I know I can do it! Thank you!!
Hello from London! Thanks for doing this video, it’s the only one without having to do a fiddly basting stitch. I’m a bloke with very basic sewing skills and have done half a dozen zipped cushions! Cheers
That's awesome 😊. I am so not into fiddly stuff. I would love to see some photos of your cushions. Here is a link to the website if you would like to share some pics www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/

I have done it - delighted. I have looked at many tutorials and this makes it so straightforward and I realised that it could be followed easily. Why hadn’t I tackled it before - mostly fear. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your lovely comment Colleen. I'm very happy to hear we have overcome the zipper fear factor 😊. I feel that the zip closure gives the cushion cover a nice professional look.
I am learning to sew! I made this and although my stiching was not great. I produced a cushion! This is a brilliant and simple pattern with wonderfully clear instructions, thank you so much xx
That's great to hear Sarah. And do you know what, there are no stitching police so who cares about a few runaway stitches, they will meld into the cushion and no one but you will ever know.
ive watched 5 videos on how to do this and it wasn't until YOURS that i finally think I get it. never sewn anything in my life. but im ready to try it because you truly made an easy tutorial. subscribed and liked!
Thanks I've sent it to a friend, I've been adding zipper to fabric a long time. Your version is pared back to the basics and easy for beginners to understand
Wow that's a cute cushion cover Alanda Craft and your tutorial is very easy. do mind if you give me the measurements please, I would like to try it out.

Thank you for the tutorial which was so simple but clear. I was sewing a cushion cover & got stuck with the zipper .Thank you I am confident to complete the cover
This is incredibly easy! Thanks so much. You were amazing, showing us that sewing a zippered cushion is as easy as folding one!!!. Nobody has done this so well. Love from South India ❤
This is a great tutorial! Wish I had watched before I attempted a cushion and made a mess of it today. Will try again tommorow using your instructions! Thank you so much.
Loved your video. Thank you so much. Exactly what I was looking for, easy to follow and straight to the point. I'm looking forward to watching more from you. I bought fabric months ago and it's been lying in the bag ever since. I'll be making beautiful cushions later today. Thank you.
Thank you Amanda. I am going to make 6 cushions for my garden chairs. Was not sure to make an envelope or using zips. You made it look so easy, so I am going to use zips. Happy Easter.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I set off on this cushion cover adventure knowing theoretically that the zipper should go in first but your video really helped me get it right first time. Also, I'm sure I would have left the zipper closed and got in a pickle after stitching the rest of the seams!
This was fantastic! I made one today (first time ever with a zipper) and it turned out amazing! I'm so happy with the end product, thank you so much for your easy to follow tutorial!
That's awesome Ashley. Would love to see your finished cushion cover on the website. Here is the link if you are interested www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/

Omg this was so fantastic, I was and and always was afraid of zippers...but you made this so easy. Thank you!!! I did my 1st zipper pillow and I'm in love.
This is an easy tutorial and I shall be using it for all my cushions. I was a bit dubious about making it an inch smaller than the cushion but it fits perfectly .... thank you
I'm happy to hear that you like the tutorial Ange 😊. I often get questions on the website about the sizing. I just respond with trust the process. Of course it helps if you like a nice puffy cushion, which I do.
The best tutorial I’ve seen,I’m wanting to start making covers been looking for a easy professional looking pillow to make,thanks so much for sharing.👍🏽🇿🇦
Excellent Jayne, thank you. Perhaps you would like to share a photo on the website. Here is the link if you are interested www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/
Thank you for a very easy tutorial, why was I so worried about inserting a zipper into a cushion?. You show how easy it is to do. Now to make make a nice dinosaur floor cushion for my grandson..
Happy to hear that the tutorial helped out. I would love to see your dinosaur floor cushion when it's finished. I am a huge dinosaur fan, have been since I was a kid. Here is a link if you would like to share some photos www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/
great thank you. sometimes make the envelope pillows slips but they tend to look wonky at times Might as will do the zippers thank your for your great tutorial.
@@alandacraft The 2 feather filled fitted cushions I had on the back of my sofa were far too heavy for me to plump up all the time so I've replaced them with 4 big feather pillows along the back. It looks great. Can't believe it took me so long to try doing zips. Now my seat is deeper too. Luxury. Thanks again.
@@alandacraft You are most welcome. I am thrilled with the results that I achieved following this. Thank you for taking the time to help beginners gain confidence in sewing.
Thank you very much for this video sewing lesson. It is so easy following your clear instructions. I am just about to tackle my first zipped cushion cover 😊. I'm watching from Australia.
Glad it was helpful Senirewa. Always great to hear from a fellow Aussie. How about sharing some photos on the website when you have made your cushion cover. Here is the link if you would like to do that www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/
This was a great tutorial, so easy to follow. The first time I sewed something using a sewing machine and I made a beautiful cushion! I made a bit of a mess of the zip (it’s a bit wonky) but that’s down to lack of practice. Thanks for a great tutorial :)
Madam, thanks for your excellent tuturial explained to the point and other hints on the way for neat finish.I learnt a lot and stitched cushion covers to near perfection .

Omg this was so fantastic, I was and and always was afraid of zippers...but you made this so easy. Thank you!!! I did my 1st zipper pillow and I'm in love.
That's awesome to hear Melinda 😊.
This is an easy tutorial and I shall be using it for all my cushions. I was a bit dubious about making it an inch smaller than the cushion but it fits perfectly .... thank you
I'm happy to hear that you like the tutorial Ange 😊. I often get questions on the website about the sizing. I just respond with trust the process. Of course it helps if you like a nice puffy cushion, which I do.
i watched your whole entire video with a smile upon my face, thank you for that easy simple step by step you gave!
Such a lovely comment. 😊
Thank you. Easy to follow instructions (and no annoying music!). Fun fabric too.

Thank you for your lovely comment Tanya 😊. This is so easy to do and the cushions look great when they are done.

Thank you for a very easy tutorial, why was I so worried about inserting a zipper into a cushion?. You show how easy it is to do. Now to make make a nice dinosaur floor cushion for my grandson..
Happy to hear that the tutorial helped out. I would love to see your dinosaur floor cushion when it's finished. I am a huge dinosaur fan, have been since I was a kid. Here is a link if you would like to share some photos www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/
you made this so easy to follow -- zipper first! Thanks so much!
It's certainly a lot easier than trying to put it in at the end, as I found out from experience. 😃
Wow 🤩 This by far the easiest zippered cushion cover tutorial I’ve seen ... I’m going to go and make some right now! Thanks heaps Alanda ❤️
Excellent Donna. Maybe you can share some photos on the website when you've made them.Here is the link www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/
great thank you. sometimes make the envelope pillows slips but they tend to look wonky at times Might as will do the zippers thank your for your great tutorial.
Thank you Joyce. I really like zippers in cushions, and they are relatively easy to add.
Really well done, love your calm voice too!! Thankyou.
Thank you Denise.
holy moly... why did this seem so advanced for technique when I envisioned it in my head. LOL...thank you for the easy to do tutorial!!
😊 Thank you, I'm glad you like the tutorial.
You make this look so easy. I've always made envelope cushions but I've bought zips and I'm getting my machine out right now. I'll get back to you 😉
Excellent, love to hear how it goes.
@@alandacraft The 2 feather filled fitted cushions I had on the back of my sofa were far too heavy for me to plump up all the time so I've replaced them with 4 big feather pillows along the back. It looks great. Can't believe it took me so long to try doing zips. Now my seat is deeper too. Luxury. Thanks again.
Thank you for this. Another slice of goodness from the Alanda pie!
Wonderful. Straight to the actual task. Absolutely crystal clear. I agree with the other views - you are absolutely the best.
Thank you for your lovely comment Lis. 😊
@@alandacraft You are most welcome. I am thrilled with the results that I achieved following this. Thank you for taking the time to help beginners gain confidence in sewing.
Thank you very much for this video sewing lesson. It is so easy following your clear instructions. I am just about to tackle my first zipped cushion cover 😊. I'm watching from Australia.
Glad it was helpful Senirewa. Always great to hear from a fellow Aussie. How about sharing some photos on the website when you have made your cushion cover. Here is the link if you would like to do that www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/
This was a great tutorial, so easy to follow. The first time I sewed something using a sewing machine and I made a beautiful cushion! I made a bit of a mess of the zip (it’s a bit wonky) but that’s down to lack of practice. Thanks for a great tutorial :)
Thank you Sophie, glad you found the tutorial helpful. 😊
And THANK YOU for the written directions Amanda’s!
You are most welcome Sandy. :)
