Thanks for this tutorial!

After literally not having sewn since high school, I bought a machine and tried this cushion.

Fantastic, easy to use instructions… I can’t believe I managed to get it first go!
Thank you so much.

You’ve introduced me back into sewing!!

Hi,
Thanks for this tutorial.

My questions are about the SIZING/SIZE of pillow/cushion pad which goes in the cover.

I bought a pad which is supposed to be 18″ x 18″ but seems to measure a bit less than that.. When I made a cover following instructions for 18″ x18″, it ended up at about 16″ x 16″…

I know you should add a size up pad to make the cushion/pillow more full but how does all this sizing actually work..?

If I want to say, this is a 18″ x 18″ cover, but actually it measures about 16.5″ x 16.5″…

thanks,
Rachel

Having never used a sewing machine before I managed to measure cut and make not only a curtain but also 4 cushion covers just from scraps of fabric we had laying around. All with no planning or much thinking… Well except when it came to closing the 4th side of the cushion covers where I had a bit of help. [...]
