Interior design you can afford! Get the step by step instructions over on the blog! Have you ever made something like this? If not, do you think you'll have a go?
I’ve been obsessed ( in a healthy way, lol) with these French type of cushions and ive studied on how to make them but I’m hesitant to pull the trigger..your video makes me want to watch this step by step while I’m making mine.. it’s easy to follow!
I'm so glad the video helped you get started with your cushion. I think getting started is the hardest part and once you're on your way, you'll realise, it's not so hard after all! Thanks for the lovely comment and good luck with yours!
I know, I did that on purpose because I had such trouble finding a good video to follow before I started this project! I'm glad this tutorial helped you!
I viewed 12 or more videos in tell I seen your video. Thank you for making such a In depth video. Which the other people did not show what you showed in your video Step-by-step.
Thank you! I have watched so many videos on how to do the tufting part of a cushion and yours was simple and easy to understand. You explained at a nice pace which helped too!
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.
Oh, Ginger! You made my day! I'm so glad this tutorial helped you fill you time at home with something creative. Well done for getting it done even without a sewing machine!
Thanks for sharing and going a a good pace. Some videos the person speaks to fast like they had ten cups of coffee with no measures or as they go. You explain nicely. Thanks👍
I have been wanting to try this for years now, always intimidated by the sides and tufting...you make this look possible!! Greetings from Upper Michigan!
Thank you for showing steps slowly about tufting...Looks great...Gonna make some 4 my Zen rm yeah !!! Have tons fabric gonna mix it up make it boho looking...
Just lovely! Thanks for slowing the video during stitching. Finally I can see exactly how to make the stitches! Will be saving this video for future reference!
You're welcome Amy, I'm glad you found it helpful. I know what you mean with those stitches, it took me a while to figure them out so I'm happy to pass that on for everyone else 🙋.
What a great tutorial! Such a soothing voice and very easy to follow along. I've ALWAYS thought this edging was some kind of fancy piping! What a happy surprise! Thank you 😊
Thanks for this, I've been watching tutorials to try to work out the side stitches your vid helped so much! Off to make a prototype to get it right before attacking my classic caravan squabs!
I think by you having to sew a few pieces together to get enough fabric, it’s actually very nice looking..makes it look less perfect and more handmade with love..if that makes sense....I’m going to do that on purpose when I make mine. Thank you
Honestly awesome video! Very well done and nice attention to detail. This Blog is probably the best i've seen for interior design so keep up the great work ;D
Could I see this by hand? I think it would take time, but I’m patient. Can you tell me what type of stitching it needs? I’m new to sewing as well. Learning.
Hi there, yes, I think you could sew this by hand. You would need strong thread and very small and neat stitches. To sew the box cover, a running/basting stitch should be good if they are small enough. Good luck sewing your tufted mattress cushion! 🙋
Sorry about that. This video was made a few years ago - I've gotten better at the tech side since then! Thanks for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it. 🙂
Is there a way to keep the tufts but add a zipper to make the fabric machine washable? Like adding snaps into the indents and snapping in the cover or using buttons?
Aziza, with this style of cushion, being able to take up some of the batting and foam is what gives the cushion it's mattress look so removing the cover is not possible.🙋
Yes, that's right Stephanie. Mine is on the window seat in our walk-in wardrobe and not in a high maintenance area. If and when it gets dirty I will take it to the dry cleaners for professional cleaning. 🙋
@@ChalkingUpSuccess Couldn't you still hook into the batting, attach some snaps into the indents of the batting (either with fabric glue or snapping it into scrap fabric and stitching that into the indents of the batting so the snap is facing up if that makes sense) and then add a snap on the underside/through the top (like how you snap jeans together) of the cover (with either a zipper on the sides or more snaps?) Then when you wanted to wash it you just pull apart the snaps and undo the zipper if you have one.
What size needle and thread. We are making own full futon style organic cotton mattress due to wife's illness and sensitivites. Need to purchase tufting needle and thread. Thank you.
Hi, very beautiful. Question: the dots at the top and on the side of the cushion are aligned? I mean: if you draw a line between them it would give you, in this case, a 90 ° angle? Or in other words: a straight line? Thanks!
Sorry for the late reply Gloria. I staggered the dots/lines because I was pushing the needle through slightly slanted. You could also align them if you prefer.

This was the best of all tutorials, the others all seem to be in a hurry to get somewhere and forget to explain what they were doing. Thank you !

Thank for that tutorial! You’re the only one that slowed it down enough to really see how to do it!

Thank you for this tutorial. I was a little curious about the side stitching technique. Now it makes sense.
You're welcome Beverly, the side stitching totally confused me at first too!
Brilliant .. You made it so easy to follow. Thank you so much.

Great idea! You are right, it does make it look more handmade and I don't mind that it's not 'perfect'!
Nice demo!
Thank you!
Great tutorial!! I love that you staggered the boxing stitches - such classical detail!! I will definitely make one of these cushions!
Thank you you much for your lovely comment!
Thanks, I really enjoy the way you explain the process.
Glad it was helpful Fabiola!

Is there a way to keep the tufts but add a zipper to make the fabric machine washable? Like adding snaps into the indents and snapping in the cover or using buttons?
Because you’re hooking into the batting which is attached to the foam, no :/ I wanted to do the same.
Aziza, with this style of cushion, being able to take up some of the batting and foam is what gives the cushion it's mattress look so removing the cover is not possible.🙋
Yes, that's right Stephanie. Mine is on the window seat in our walk-in wardrobe and not in a high maintenance area. If and when it gets dirty I will take it to the dry cleaners for professional cleaning. 🙋

Then when you wanted to wash it you just pull apart the snaps and undo the zipper if you have one.
While making a tuft with the upholstery needle, why do you need to push the needle through more than twice, I’m confused by that..
It really depends on the thickness of your fabric. I wanted to make a larger 'knot' so that it wouldn't pull through the fabric.
@@ChalkingUpSuccess makes sense, thank you for replying!
What size needle and thread. We are making own full futon style organic cotton mattress due to wife's illness and sensitivites. Need to purchase tufting needle and thread. Thank you.
Hello Dorian, sorry this is reply is late. Here is my affiliate link to similar needles to the one I used rstyle.me/+tNsD54mfhNG6QrDOKhVjyg

Thank you Heather! I'm so happy you liked my tutorial. 🙂
Hi, I was wondering what is the thickness of your foam? Is it 2 inch or 3 inch?
Hi Cahaya mata, you can find all the details in my blog post here:
chalkingupsuccess.com/how-to-make-a-tufted-french-mattress-cushion/
@@ChalkingUpSuccess thank you so much!
@@ChalkingUpSuccess Thickness of foam is not shown in your blog post. I have the same question. Will 2" thickness work?
@@donnawalden1289 Hi Donna, I just measured my cushion and it's 2.5 inches including the fabric and batting so 2-inch foam should work fine. :-)
Hi, very beautiful. Question: the dots at the top and on the side of the cushion are aligned? I mean: if you draw a line between them it would give you, in this case, a 90 ° angle? Or in other words: a straight line? Thanks!

Good tutorial but please fix the audio next time.
Hello Sodylin, can you be a little more specific and let me know what is wrong with the audio? Much appreciated 🙂
@@ChalkingUpSuccess the music that is played in the video is so loud that you can't hear what you are saying. but really beautiful piece
I’m always so afraid of trying this...isn’t that just so silly... I need to turn that FEAR into motivation .
Definitely! This project really isn't anything to be afraid of - you can do it!
I can't understand anything you said. 😒
Oh what a shame, I'm so sorry!
This music makes following your instructions really difficult to follow
Thank you for explaining this so well. It was very easy to follow.
You're welcome! I'm so glad you found it helpful! Good luck with your project. 👍
