Making a Box Cushion Cover. Bench Restoration Part 3

In this detailed tutorial on how to make a piped, zipped box cushion cover, I give clear instructions for making continuous piping and inserting a zip.
You will also find instructions, tips and tricks on cutting and enlarging the foam pad. What you need to know about fire retardance and how to find the right and wrong side of fabric when both sides look the same.
I show you how to work out, lay and cut pattern pieces to help you buy the correct amount of fabric, and how to measure differently for the foam and finished cushion cover.
You can watch how I fit the piping to the top and bottom, including cutting around corners for a sharp fit and a professional finish.
