Followed this tutorial step-by-step to recover my patio furniture cushions. They came out great & I'm so happy I found your page!! Never sewed anything other than a basic pillowcase before, now I feel like a pro!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Making a waterproof cover for my (very old) dog's bed. Thanks for the straightforward video. As a guy who started sewing last month you've made the project less intimidating.
This was the best tutorial I've seen for how to measure and cut the fabric for a box cushion. I always had a problem when it came to the correct measurement for the zipper placque. Thank you.
I’ve been looking to replace two patio seats and this video was VERY helpful. Retail prices were $120 to $200 and they weren’t the right size. This video gave me refresher course since I haven’t sewn in a long time, and saved me a lot of money. I was looking at another big retailer who is local and on-line, where I thought I was getting good prices until I found they didn’t carry the upholstery zippers. Then I looked at your shop and the fabric they had “on sale”( LMAO) was drastically beating by your regular (non-sale) prices. I purchased the material, heavy duty thread, zippers, Dacron padding, adhesive spray, 3 yards of fabric marker and machine needles all for less than the other store for 2 yards of fabric and padding. For only $53.00 with free shipping and $5 off from a coupon I found on-line. I am so happy!! On top of all this, when I’m finished, I’ll have two beautiful custom Tommy Bahama cushions and possibly pillows. I just hope they come out as beautiful as this video. I’m little confused on the whole sewing around the corners bit. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing! Sorry if that part is a little confusing, we do have the full written instructions here: www.onlinefabricstore.net/makersmill/how-to-make-box-cushions-with-a-zipper/ Hope this helps!
I don't really sew. I just learned sewing during my high school days. Now that i am a home maker, instead of paying somebody to do stuffs for our apartment homes, i just do it on my own. Thank you so much for this very helpful video. I saved money. I will put piping on my next works soon.
Thanks so much for this video! You easily cut my sewing time in half, and made my sewing project really fun! I made four cushions in under two days & they look great! I found your simple instructions easy to modify for my needs - adding tiebacks, beefing up the foam size a bit & putting an upholstery style zipper in. I did need to add a few pins when sewing the pieces together. Your sewing skills are impressive :) We recently had our dining room chairs professionally reupholstered in the same Vern Yip fabric that you feature in the video. Love it!
Haven't sewn in years...attempted to cover sunroom box cushions with a zipper. Your video was invaluable. So easy to understand. Helped me through the pattern making phase to the finish. Thanks so much from Canada 🇨🇦
You made it look so easy! I have foam that I bought a looong time ago, I also got fabric and with this tutorial I'm ready to try and make the cushion for a swing. I learn by watching TH-cam, thanks for an excellent tutorial.
Thank you for the great video I have used this as reference when making new box cushions. I altered my pattern to have the zipper wrap around the edges for an easier fit because camper cushions have a board under the foam. I flipped my seams ripper over but I lived your tip on how to sew in the zipper! I was nervous about that and your instructions were perfect. I was a little confused on the note about the width of the zipper but after asking my sister she reassured me you meant the width of the zipper including the fabric not just the teeth. You video was fast paced and not repetitive which was great! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for this video! It's the only one that has really and truly gave precise instructions on how to make a box cushion cover. I'm going to redo the first two that I did using your instructions! You rock!
Watched a lot of tutorials on box cushions but this one was the BEST! You made my first attempt at a box cushion so straightforward, thank you so much!
This was a great tutorial. I have never made a box cushion before. Branching out and you made it easy. Thank you! I used a soft faux leather and it looks very nice.
Thanks girlie for your tutorial. I haven't sewn in years. This vid really helped me get back on machine to make patio cushion covers. I made a few trial attempts 1st.
I always tell people to keep lots of muslin on hand for that exact reason! I find that making trial runs is the best way to get a fantastic end result. Work out any kinks before using your expensive fabric!
Really liked your video. I have never sewn before but with your excellent instructional video I was able to create some good looking box cushions. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together as it allowed me to save $2,000 from the quotes we received for the recovering of our patio cushions.
Thank you so much for your clear and concise video. I was able to make new cushion covers for my friend's motorhome from this tutorial and they turned out great!
This is a wonderful video and I also downloaded the instructions. I can't thank you enough. I have looked for days for this kind of video and instructions. Thank you a million times ☺️👍
On the seam reaper their is a little red ball....that should face down.. so to make sure you're not cutting anything else, but the seam... just an advise.
Yes, "box cushion" is NOT a good beginner project. :) It is, however, far easier than "shaped seam dress with lining and hidden zipper," which was my first project with a zipper. Let's just say I never bothered to hem that dress. :D
I have a similar 50's teak chair that need new cushions. Hiring someone to do it was way to expensive for what i paid for the chair. Haven't sewn since primary school so should be fun.
I love this! I am a rookie at sewing and need to make box cushion covers for our new van conversion bench seats. We are using 6 inch memory foam. Should I wrap the zipper around the sides a bit to get the cushion/mattress in? Thanks for the amazing video!
Sure! That will definitely make it a little easier to get the cushion in. I do recommend this to make your life easier, but its personal preference, depending on how you would like your cushion to look.
I didn't know what you were doing with that zipper seam at first, but I figured it out right before you ripped the stitches out and I was like "That's genius!"
Nice video , it gave me as a novice many helpful tips. My question is related to the ripping the fabric to gain access to the zipper from the outside of the fabric. How do you prevent the cut zipper opening from fraying? OR did I miss a step.Thanks,
Hi Mark, It's not actually ripping the fabric, just the thread from the first seam sewn on the zipper panel. There will be little pieces of thread to pick out, but the fabric won't be damaged.
Great Tutorial! How much would You charge someone to make one of these cushion covers; providing they supplied the material, i.e fabric, foam, zipper, thread, etc. please? Thanks A Million!
Thanks for the video. It has proven helpful as we have had to watch it a few dozen times. Two questions when you are cutting the boxing, your calculation states “foam” bit do you also consider the batting as in addition to the thickness of foam? # 2 when you say length of zipper are you referring to the actual length plus 2” or the zipper opening plus the 2”?
I can't believe everyone is commenting how detailed this is! The most complicated parts are easily the most vaguely described and quickly skipped over. It's so frustrating I want to smash my sewing machine to pieces.
jack chatham, I agree. I had to watch this a second time to catch that the boxing strip was one long piece and not individual sides. She also forgot to mention to measure and mark where the curves need to be sewn, and also how to make sure your zipper is centered to the back of the cushion. Maybe these steps are just understood and we're not as proficient as we thought? :-/
Jack- I agree. I actually found sailrite's instructions (french mattress style cushions) more detailed. They clearly showed and explained each step. Yes, you needed to make the cover a bit larger than this box cushion cover because of the special seam, but I could figure that one out. I only needed this video for the zipper panel as there wasn't one in that video. I am sorry to comment about another's website on this one, but it was so clear and so well done, I had learnt a lot from them.. so hopefully it will help someone else too?
I agree, have to keep watching over & over to get the bits I’m working on. Sure don’ understand what to do when the side strip gets to the end when attaching it to the bottom piece which is where I am now, just have to figure it out on my own I guess🤪
I would probably recommend seam ripping as little as possible and then re sewing. I usually try to avoid taking the whole thing apart, but it is, unfortunately, sometime necessary. I hope that is not the case for you!
@@LegendLength start with some smaller projects. Many TH-cam videos for this. Tote bags, drawstring bags, work aprons…a fun one is a “burrito pillowcase!” Easy, but fun. Good for kids (and adults-I’ve made several 😉) to learn how to sew. The key thing for straight seams is to NOT look at the needle. Watch the edge of the fabric as it follows the seam guide markings on your machine.
Excellent video, why can't everybody do a simple how to do video like this? It is exactly how I'm going to do the b**** cushions for my daughter's new dining room table. Thanks a lot!

You're welcome, glad it helped!
thank you for showing me a no piping look:) I'm not ready to try piping yet and have been wondering how it would look.
I am making my first box cushion and your video is perfect for me:) Thank you so much for all your help and expertise:)
Exactly what I needed to make the covers for my camper van mattress, which will basically be 4 box cushions. This video helped tremendously - thanks!
Glad it helped!
I just followed this steps and voila i made our lounge chair a foam with a wonderful cover. Thank you so much!

I am semi new to sewing and your video was very helpful and explained it nicely. Thank you.
Great tutorial! This was my first attempt at making a zippered box cushion and it turned pretty good!
thanks this was superb I have successfully made a cushion cover this evening thanks to you.

Thank you so much for posting! I was trying to follow that Sailrite video and was utterly lost. This was clear and concise. Thank you!

Great video, and I love the zipper technique. My first cushion turned out great. May not be right for inexperienced sewists...
Great video. the zipper is so simple. just what I needed.
I am so happy we could help!

very nice ,I was looking for such type of vidio..and i got it for the box cushions...🙋
Thanl you you so much for sharing this cushion box..i will try to do this
Hi - I love this video. One of my cushion covers turned out a little too long. Do you have any advice on how I can fix it?
I would probably recommend seam ripping as little as possible and then re sewing. I usually try to avoid taking the whole thing apart, but it is, unfortunately, sometime necessary. I hope that is not the case for you!
Yeah, you make it look so easy!
Such a useful video, thanks for sharing.
