    Dang are people rude! I never comment but for those saying this was rushed - there is a wealth of information in the blog post that, had you taken the time to look hard enough, would have answered many of the questions(complaints) below. Thanks for the FREE, very helpful, content!

      Rushed? No way! Straight to the point and easy to understand. Maybe people need to learn the basics and return to this when they are ready.

      Some people need others to live the hard part of life for them… most likely they expected someone to buy everything & make it for them!

    I want you to know you helped me create a comfortable space during this stay-at-home time. I made two cushions by hand (me, who does not sew!) because my sewing machine gives me too much grief.

    And now I understand why these are so expensive. YOU MADE THIS LOOK SO EASY. However, that curved needle and that whole "deal with the sides" is super intimidating.

    • @onlinefabricstore
      @onlinefabricstore  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can do it! It's definitely time consuming, but it's easy work. I just plopped down in front of the TV for the night and watched my shows while I worked on my other cushions.

    • @randibgood
      @randibgood 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Not even the whole cushion, but one side would have been great. We didn't even get top and bottom of the sides. Not one complete scallop?

    • @leaholson2077

      It is self explanatory. Just do the same thing over and over again. That is all sewing is.

    I make doggy beds for my 2 shepherds. Working with the foam, I use an electric knife. I spray silicone spray on the blades and then start cutting the foam. Goes so quickly and I have straighter lines.....

  • @ElohiSilverEarthVentures
    @ElohiSilverEarthVentures 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The dacron and the "padding", are the same thing right? In the 1st part, steps, your saying "dacron" and "padding" almost as if they're two separate parts but yet are the same material being used around the foam cushion. I think, but just checking to make sure I'm not missing a layer I should be having in this project.

  • @randinicolebisbano189
    @randinicolebisbano189 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    How thick is your piece of foam? How many yards of fabric did you use? Is it a velour? Can you link the fabric?

    • @onlinefabricstore
      @onlinefabricstore  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Randi, this foam is 3 inches thick. The fabric is called Bella Velvet Caribbean: www.onlinefabricstore.com/morgan-fabrics-bella-velvet-caribbean-fabric-.htm

  • @ingridsterling2163
    @ingridsterling2163 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the tutorial.. Love the look. How long did it take you to make the cushion?

    • @onlinefabricstore
      @onlinefabricstore  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Of course! The cushion itself didn't take more than an hour to make, so that was not bad. But the tufting does take quite some time. I would say that it probably took me close to two (maybe even three) hours to finish that up. It's pretty mundane work though so I recommend putting on a movie and just taking it slow.

  • @Hag_of_Fangorn
    @Hag_of_Fangorn 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    It looks amazing! How long did it take to make?

    • @onlinefabricstore
      @onlinefabricstore  4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Thanks, it did take a while! Two of us worked on it for two days, a couple hours each day. But it was worth it!

    Thank you for the tutorial! Is the batting necessary? Not sure if I could skip?

    • @amritadass4364
      @amritadass4364 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I read that the batting helps make the edges of the foam smoother and more comfortable, I also saw that it prevents long term erosion of the foam but I can't say how true that is.

    • @onlinefabricstore
      @onlinefabricstore  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is a great answer! All of those things are true.

    • @talkoffhomerpodcast8904
      @talkoffhomerpodcast8904 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was reading through these comments to see what kind of “padding” I was supposed to buy. And now I know it’s “batting”!

  • @zillycat122
    @zillycat122 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am a very experienced sewist. I can't get my corners to match up. It doesn't matter how many times I clip and reclip the sides. I'm having such a hard time. I wish I'd done boxed corners instead. Zooming in to show how you sewed the corners would have been very helpful for me. I'm coming up short on my fabric on one end.

    • @onlinefabricstore
      @onlinefabricstore  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You could always try sewing each piece of boxing to the corresponding side and then sew the corners after the fact!

  • @melissamybubbles6139
    @melissamybubbles6139 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I want to modify this to create a baffled comforter. Instead of tufting and stuffing with foam, I'd like to create boxes that can be attached to each other somehow. Have you seen anyone try to make a truly baffled comforter or quilt, rather than just a box stitch or a puff quilt?

    • @onlinefabricstore
      @onlinefabricstore  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think I would make a baffled comforter by stuffing each section individually as I sew a grid into the blanket. It is going to take more time, but that is going to give you the cleanest look

    Wow, that was rushed and unclear. The sewing part is easy. I was here for the tufted sides and had to watch several times to get the idea. Frankly I haven’t tried it yet because I don’t feel confident enough. Why? You talked to fast and moved without showing the actual technique. You appear to do beautiful work though.
