Absolutely loved & appreciated this video, so clear so helpful ❤ I needed cushion covers for my campervan & adapted the 5" slightly (as didnt have enough fabric) so made it 2 inches & used velcro to hold it close. They look FABULOUS..so easy🎉 just amazing, thank you 😊
Only $10.99 a yard for outdoor fabric? You found a great deal. I couldn't find a good sale so looked on FB Marketplace. Found someone selling 38 yards of JoAnn's $22 a yard fabric for $100! I only needed 4 yards so now a friend is getting new covers also. You never know where you can find a good deal.
Marketplace is great! I think finding the good deal is part of the fun. I just bought 20 more yards to redo these orange ones and make some pillows, I paid like $6.99 or $7.99 a yard. I decided that I just didn’t like the fabric on these orange ones. It held a little water which had never happened before. I went and found a different outside fabric, so I’ll be making more for this set of furniture over the winter to have them ready for early spring. Thank you for commenting, and I’m sure your friend will be happy with new cushions too. 😊🧵🪡❤️
This was wonderful! Thank you so much for putting this video together! I feel very inspired and motivated that I can do this. It looks simple enough! Thank you again for taking the time to show us your steps! ❤❤❤
Thank you! My 90yo Papa asked me to sew a smaller pillowcase for a cushion he uses to sit on, on top of his regular couch cushions. He doesn't want it permanently sewn over the cushion, and i done have time to learn how to sew in a zipper for the first time (lol i don't even have time to go shopping for one hehe!), so i thought... envelope method, of course! But his biggest complaint is that a regular pillowcase my grandma uses ends up way too loose. I knew i needed to add the 2 inch depth of the cushion but just couldn't picture how.... This is perfect! Thanks soooo much! The only thing i may do is to add a button to the envelope overlap, so he can't say it's "sliding all over the place" anymore 😂
Oh no! I’m so sorry they came out to big. I hope you didn’t make too many at one time. I think the only way to fix it without pulling out stitches is to sew around coming in closer, then you can cut the original stitches off once you get it to size. Please let me know how you make out. So sorry! 😞
Hmmm, I can’t quite remember. I bought a whole box of assorted colors in sets of 4 when I bought it. I’m pretty sure I bought it online at Joann. If I remember I will let you know for sure. Thanks for watching. 😊❤️
I am just so confused on how to measure the width. In your video you measure your cushion 25inches and say the width of the fabric needs to be 25in. What about a seam allowance? Then later you measure 29 inches when cutting the fabric. Can you please explain that.
Hi Stephanie So I see that it was very confusing. When I showed the 25 inches, that was for the back of the chair Cushing. We don't need to allow for the seam allowance because it needs to be smaller then the pillow so it will scrunch up around the pillow like a glove, so basically the seam allowance was accounted for. The 29 inches I spoke of was the width of the bottom Cushing. I hope to do another video in the near future that Is a bit more clear. Sorry for any confusing.
I have one more question about measuring the width. In the video you seam to measure the width plus the thickness on one side and then again the thickness on the other side. Won't this make the cover too thick? Would it make sense to only measure half the thickness+width+half the thickness? So that the seam runs along the midpoint of the thickness. Hope that makes sense.
I never could understand sewing the boxed corners until now. You made it sew easy!!
So glad it helped. Thanks for watching and commenting! 😊
Thank you for this tutorial. I couldn’t figure out how to measure for the boxed corners and you explained it perfectly.
I’m so happy that it was helpful. Thank you for watching and commenting. ❤️🧵🪡😊
I used to live watching this show when I was a kid, watched with son and his kids
Hi Mona thanks for watching. 😊
So truly clear and uncomplicated with great tips. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much! Thank you for watching😊
Exactly what I was searching for. Perfect!!
That’s great, I’m happy it helped. Thanks for watching!😊
Great video, thank you very very much, now I'm not so scared to try and cover some really beat up cushions on my own. Thanks again.
Your very welcome! Happy it helped. 😊
Thank you . 😊 you made it so easy to follow and UT turned oit great. And I love the bold stripe and color..
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it 😊❤️
Thank you for these easy to follow instructions! After watching your video, I tackled recovering my patio cushions. Great tutorial!
Thank you! So glad I could help! There’s nothing like seeing nice new cushions looking so fresh and new. 😊❤️
They look beautiful, thanks for sharing
Thank you Mona! 😊
So for each chair you use 2 yards of fabric for both cushions. Great job on them
I didn’t exactly measure, but I think approximately. Glad you liked them. Thank you!😊❤️🧵🌸🪡🌼

That’s great, I’m so happy to help. Yes, I would add the button just to be sure. Thanks so much for commenting!😊❤️
You made it so easy to understand.Thank you !!
You’re very welcome! Happy to help. 😊❤️
Wow they really look great
Thank you Esther! 😊
great cushion patterns, when I used your measurement process, my cover came out too large...can you help ?
Oh no! I’m so sorry they came out to big. I hope you didn’t make too many at one time. I think the only way to fix it without pulling out stitches is to sew around coming in closer, then you can cut the original stitches off once you get it to size. Please let me know how you make out. So sorry! 😞
The foam I am covering is 4” thick and very stiff. Would it be easier to get it into the cover if the overlap was more or less than 5”?
The smaller it is the easier it is however, you want to be sure it’s long enough to overlap once the foam is inserted. I hope this helps.
Where did you find your extra long serger thread my thread isn't that long
Hmmm, I can’t quite remember. I bought a whole box of assorted colors in sets of 4 when I bought it. I’m pretty sure I bought it online at Joann. If I remember I will let you know for sure. Thanks for watching. 😊❤️
Why 3 inches on the box corners?
Because that is how thick the cushion is. If yours is 4 inches make it 4 inches. You want it so it fits good and snug,😊❤️
I am just so confused on how to measure the width. In your video you measure your cushion 25inches and say the width of the fabric needs to be 25in. What about a seam allowance? Then later you measure 29 inches when cutting the fabric. Can you please explain that.
@@stefanies.9051 yes I’m sorry for the confusion. I will watch the video later today and try and help fix it. So sorry 😞
