This is a highly detailed educational course that you could have charged a fee for - but you are offering for free! After watching it, I feel more confident making my own van camper dinette cushions. Thank you! 🙏🤗😎
You know...I've been watching you videos for a very long time. I just wanted to say Thank You for sharing all of your knowledge with us. I know it's your business and it's how you make money, but you do it with class, pride, you are never condescending, rude or cocky. You are stright forward, you don't talk unnecessarily about irrelevant things, and the way you explaine information makes it easy to comprehend. Your voice is perfect for videos. I always know when someone is on your site if I hear your voice. Lol. So for all that you do to help us succeed at what we want to learn, Thank You so very much.
@@SailriteDIY I also totally agree with the comment above and whish we had you in Spain. By the way I know you thanks to “Sailing the med” podcast, I also thanks Franz
I made my first cushion the day after seeing this video. The calculator was spot on and the finished product looks awesome! Now about those 30 minutes....
I agree! It'll take 30 minutes if you have everything measured and already cut, a huge table with your heavy-duty machine, have done it before, and are a pro! A good video otherwise.
It does take a while to lay out, measure and cut, but the actual sewing is super fast and easy. And the results are great. For those that don’t want to spend a lot of money on a hot knife and tempered glass (because I’m only doing this once) a $15 wood burning tool from Home Depot and an old cookie sheet work really well.
I purchased the zipper chain, zipper slider, and basting tape from sail rite and followed this tutorial to make 4 cushion covers for the dinette in my horse trailer living quarters (camper). Thanks to your fabric calculator and this video, I was able to do all 4 today (9 hrs total with breaks) They look like like they were made by a professional. I used my late grandmother’s sewing machine for the first time since she passed. It’s a bernina and it worked great! I was intimidated to do this, but I feel accomplished now! Thank you!!
Thanks so much for the detailed tutorial. I must be a slow learner, because I had to watch parts of it numerous times. It took me 3 days to make the first 30 minute cushion, but the second will go much faster!The fabric calculator was a godsend. Thank you, thank you, thank you. My cushion may have been the smallest ever calculated (a mattress for a doll bed). The finished products won't win a prize, but the grandgirls won't mind.
I’ve been sewing for years and still watch these videos over and over again. Don’t you just love grandchildren! They think everything you do is wonderful.
Thanks for this video. I sewed a cushion using my handwoven fabric. I was worried about making mistakes in the sewing and thereby ruining handwoven fabric. But, your video helped immensely. And the fabric calculator. Thank you so much.
Well it took me about 6 hours and a lot of homicidal thoughts towards my sewing machine but I finally got cushion #1 complete!! Not a fan of the seam stick but I kept with it since I'm the amateur. Unfortunately, the seam allowance did not fully cover the tape so it peaks thru in some spots. I'm sticking with pins for my next two cushions bcuz that's what I'm used to. All the same, I still appreciate this professional tutorial and all the resources. Thank you Saaaayyyyyrite 🙂
I did pins as well and it probably took a total of 5 hours, but my cushions were huge and cutting out without the professional tools was tedious. I used the grout lines in my tile in my kitchen to help with cutting straight.
I have only sewn a few masks, but was able to follow these directions to make huge 79.5 x 19 inch box cushions from half of a twin xl mattress. I didn’t have the basting tape so I just pinned and ironed first. Turned out really nice!!! Thank you for such fabulous instructions!
I've put off this project for 2.5 years because of my fear of zippers. The instruction was clear and concise and the use of new materials and methods awe-inspiring, Thanks so much much! My first cushion took a day-and-a-half and I made an error when I folded my fabric to fit my work area (floor), but my second attempt took much less time and looks beautiful. I have more than enough confidence to finish the other 5 cushions for my two window seats. Wonderful!
Thanks so much for this tutorial and the fabric calculator! Saved me tons of time and anxiety not having to cut every side and sew together😊 I used this tutorial for a 66 inch bench cushion and everything came out perfect.
The best video ever on how to sew a box cushion My son and I were in the process of converting an old van to become a camper, and we had to make cushions for the seats. We had no experience in sewing whatsoever, and it seemed like a daunting task. In the beginning we thought we had to get a professional to sew them for us, but it would have been far too expensive. Instead we did a search on how to make a cushion, and to our luck, we found this excellent video. By following the instructions step by step, we managed to sew some beautiful well-fitting cushions. We even followed the link to the Sailrite website and used the fabric calculator to measure the amount of fabric we should use. The measurements were so precise that we only needed to buy exactly the fabric that we needed, with no leftover. We live in Denmark, so it was not really possible to order the materials from you, but had we been closer we would definitely have ordered everything from the Sailrite shop. The videos have been so inspiring that we we want to come back another time, to learn how to sew curtains and other items for the van and for the house. So thank you once again for helping and inspiring to creativity, it has meant the world to us.
Never have used a sewing machine until 2 days ago on a scrap peice and just finished my first cushion. This is such a good video! I have 1 of 6 cushion complete. Having to figure out some things with sewing 2 panels together and following this process was a bit tricky but hopefully I did it all correct! How many are watching this because they are building a van?
This was a life saver! Finished my tiny camper/RV's cushions in 2 nights. I'd say I could listen to this man talk for hours, but I did haha! Great instructor, thanks y'all!
I’ve made all of my outdoor cushions with this video and I couldn’t be happier…. But mostly listening to this man say EASY is the most calming thing I’ve ever heard
Best video ever for making my own cushion covers, because it comes with a link that proves measurements for the pattern. I made one with local sewing supplies, and then used the supplies sold by Sailrite. Use their supplies, they are top quality and I was able to make my second cushion in half the time. Have fun.
Thanks for the kind comments and for buying your supplies from Sailrite! Good to know that you were able to make your cushions easily and faster the second time.
After watching this video, my hubby and I used my new sewing machine, and made an eight-foot long cushion for a window seat in our son's new house. We used bright red Sunbrella fabric, and it turned out wonderful!
Followed this video step by step and I'm sooo pleased with how my cushion covers came out! The only thing I did different was instead of using a small piece of scrap just over the zipper ends, I put some on each of the corners as well to give them extra strength and make them look more 'square'. This was my very first attempt at doing something like this, so it took WAY longer than 30 minutes. I'll be saving this video in my 'favorites' for future reference. Thank you!
This saved me sooo much time. The most user friendly video tutorial I have ever seen! Made all my campervan bed cushions in 24 hrs with non sewing experience. Thank God for the fabric calculator.... THANK YOU!
This is by-far the best method I've seen, using the tape is definitely helpful since I was using Sailrite's vinyl fabric. I did use a regular zipper made for cushions, which was still easy to do. If you make them frequently then you could probably do it in 30 min, but count on at least an hour for 1 cushion, the second one will go faster. Thank you Sailrite!
I recovered a friend's rocking chair cushions and used this tutorial for the bottom cushion. It took me HOURS just to figure out the math. I measured, re-measured and measured some more. I finally took a big breath and cut the material while feeling a sense of doom that I had done it wrong. Like others here said, I had to watch this video over and over again while sewing. So many times rewinding again and again studying each step. (I have to admit there were a few cuss words during the process.) However, when I put the cushion inside the cover tonight, it fit! And it looks great! Well, pretty great for my first cushion cover any way. Thanks for the tutorial!
Wow! This is a FABULOUS tutorial. You give great directions and explanations as you go through the entire process. What perfect timing! I have the high density foam and 8oz denim Fabric for cushions for my travel trailer. I know that the denim needs to be stabilized, so I’ planning to apply fusible fleece to the wrong side. This is a fabulous method of covering/making cushions! I’ve used other methods in the past, but NEVER again. I’ve used boxed corners for totes and bags. I’ve never seen this method of inserting a zipper. None of the patterns I’ve used have said to close the zipper and re-install the zipper tab. This is brilliant! No more butting the edges at the open end of the zipper! Thank you SO much for the tutorial and the fabric calculator! Stay Well! Muskoka ON🇨🇦
I sew at home and always looking for a better, more efficient way to make things. I made a replacement bench cushion using this method,"The 30 minute Cushion" out of one panel of fabric. It took me way longer than 30 minutes but it turned out fabulous. Thanks for the tutorials you post. Love to watch them!
Hi it’s Norm Thompson one of your new customers I have emailed you a while ago about things you are very good at your work I highly recommend you folks to the people I do sewing for thank you for taking the time to make the videos
When I saw your sewing machine all I could think of was wow! Now that's a sewing machine! All metal! My mom had one with that type of metal. 1950's era! I had a lot of double sided tape used for card making. Why didn't I think of this earlier? Great idea to make things work so much faster and easier.
Amazing!!!! Thank you so much for putting this video together! I had zero experience in sewing full stop and I’ve just complete 6 large box cushions for my campervan which fitted perfectly FIRST TIME!!!! I’m extremely impressed with the fit. Couldn’t have done it without this video! Saved me a fortune 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Very clear detailed directions. I have sewn cushions and other things with box corners as well as clothing for over 50 yrs. Your video was very clear and I am sure easy for those with much less experience to be able to follow. thanks for the effort and for the calculator.
Very clear, informative tutorial. I realize that making something the first time is a little more time consuming, I almost always have a needle break, thread break... But I love that you go over foam types, the calculator and especially that you don't make me watch you sew something twice! Great job, now off to make my cushion.
I am very pleased with my 300 minute cushion! I tried a small (19 X 21) cushion as a test before I tackled new covers for our glider. I have sewn curtains, shades, pillow covers, but always avoided zippers as my machine has no zipper foot. Guess what... you don't need one! Ordered the materials for the glider today, from Sailrite of course.
This is the absolute video for making the cushion a friend and I made 2 yesterday for a bench on one end the small one that had to connect to the cushion where a 2-inch pipe went through the bench, we had a time figuring out how to do the cutout but finally got it to work. I love love the fabric calculator we would not have been able to figure it out without that YOU guys thank again. Yes, more than likely we could do another one in 30 minutes next time!!!
I just made a great box cushion for my husband - all sofas are too deep for average people to sit on and this pattern helped me to bridge the gap perfectly. Thank you. The calculator was spot on!
It took me more like an hour and 30 minutes but the result was worth it. I had one of those larger sized cushions so I had to sew the two panels together. Love the calculator that figures out measurements but wish they had done the fractional conversion for me. That’s what took the most time even using the table. Sailrite does make it easy for even a novice sewer to tackle projects that I never thought I could do.
Your instructions were excellent! I made three cushions at the same time. What took the longest were the zippers, but I found a TH-cam to help make my life easier! Thank you so very much for all your tips!!
I'm so glad to hear that you found the instructions helpful! Three cushions at once is quite the achievement. Zippers can definitely be a little tricky, but it sounds like you handled it like a pro!
Amazing tutorial! I didn't have the sticking basting tape, or a silk cushion bag, and was able to make it easily. I ironed down and pinned all the things that needed the sticking tape, and used elbow grease to get the foam inside the cushion cover. I was able to make my first cushion, and a large one at that! It looks amazing. Thanks sailrite!
The hot knife was new to me !!! Always hate that shredding of woven fabric ! Will be looking into that ! I've been sewing since was 5 yrs old ,,but today I learned something new which i loved, Ive never see that one piece method with the cut in center sides !! WOO HOO thanks so so much Sir !!! Always done side pieces which takes so much longer an is harder to match up unless your doing piping ,you can do this way !!! Wow thanks
Thanks so much for this wonderful tutorial. I just recovered a 10 foot long window seat cushion. It took me much longer than 30 minutes, but turned out perfect. I was concerned that the cut outs were too small, but with the 1/2 inch seams, they fit the 2 inch deep cushion like a charm!
Same! I was sure the cutouts were too small and it wouldn’t fit the thickness of my foam, but I forged on and had faith that these professionals had it right, and all was well!
We are so glad your cushions came out great. Ya.... everyone forgets that the 1/2" seam allowance makes each corner much larger than the cut outs. Thanks for your kind comments. @@singingcyclist6049
This video/technique is awesome! I used the technique to make a large carrying bag for a Kuranda dog bed (added handles). I had to figure out the zipper length that would accommodate the bed, but after that, I used the calculator and followed the instructions. My problem is I am not a very "precise" person, but with this technique, I highly recommend some precision with measuring and notching out the corners. For my first time (cutting fabric to finished product), it took about three hours, but with practice, the time should improve. I will definitely use this technique for covering cushions in the future. The basting tape is my new best friend. THANK YOU SAILRITE!
I just love Sailrite! Thank you for the perfect tools for fabric and form selection as well as excellent instruction on how to make cushions! I was able to make all six professional looking cushions for our van conversion.
Looked up how to make a cushion on TH-cam and found your cushion in 30 minutes and I was sold. Thank you for having the links in the description of the video as well!
We are glad to help. Let us know if you have questions about the process or the supplies we sell at Sailrite. Thanks and good luck with your cushion!!!
The best instructional video on how to make your own outdoor cushions. You have given me the confidence to tackle this project. Thank you for taking the time!!!
thank you thank you thank you for this video! I have a large bench under a window in my kitchen and 3 years ago I had a cushion custom made because I couldn't find a cushion on the market. I paid over $400 for it! And then a couple months ago I spilled something on it and without thinking, threw the cover in the wash and the cover shrank and didn't fit anymore (I know... talk about frustrating). I was desperate for a new cushion cover without paying $400. Once I had all the materials, only took me a couple hours to make! seriously so helpful.
Wow. Just made some of these covers for a caravan. So easy, and the calculator is brilliant. One bit of advice if you are making very big covers as I was, add some pins when you are using the basting tape on the zip, so it definitely doesnt move when you are maneuvering all the fabric. Thanks Sailrite.
Absolutely brilliant tutorial. The fiddliest bit I found was the zipper, not the sewing but the little puller. Just about to start the second one. Thank you!
This is the best of ANY ‘how to’ videos I have ever seen. Everything is explained so well! Generally I have questions at several points in a video but the only one I had in yours was dealt with by you in an edit (the ‘too long’ zip). Thankyou so much.
Thank you. You explain everything clearly enough to give me the confidence to attempt to make a cover. If you’re not already, you would make a great teacher. Cheers
Great instructional video. Best tips: basting tape, the zipper tricks, and plastic to help slide foam cushion into its new home. Results look professional! Thank you!
Thank you for a wonderfully informative video! I successfully made my first box cushion for our porch bench and it turned out great. I appreciate the straightforward directions without additional commentary. I was able to pause the video as I went. The online calculator was perfect. I will definitely consider Sailrite for my sewing needs and look for other videos.
It took me a few hours as well to make my first cushion but I think I have a better idea of what to do now so hopefully I’ll be able to cut down on my time. I only have 7 more to sew. I was following other tutorials but this one made the most sense to me especially showing the closeup of the work. Thank you.
thank you for your great advice!!! I've made new cushions for my renovated camper!! I am watching you from Greece, Athens!! many greetings to you all!! ❤
A wonderful tutorial! Thx!! I have done a lot of sewing, over many years--mainly clothing. But I always love to find a new and better way to do something: your way of doing the box corners, with the corner cut-outs and the zipper in the middle of the sides, is clever and so much more fun to sew than what I've done previously (a top and bottom piece, with a long strip to sew for the sides, with tricky maneuvering around the corners). (NB: You can also make the cushion with a fabric with a one-way directional pattern (i.e., a pattern that has one way that looks right (e.g., dogs all standing upright) and the other way looks upside down (all the dogs with their feet in the air!); simply sew 2 pieces together with the seam at the bottom of each design (at the dogs' feet), and then cut out the cushion with that seam at the center, parallel to the edge for the zipper. This may be too confusing if you're not an experienced sewer!)
Never having made anything like this before, I foolishly told my son I would make 2 cushions for a bench he made…and he chose a faux leather material. Yikes! Watched your video several times-the basting tape and zipper tape were fabulous ideas. Took me probably 3 hours for just one and I have to say, no one was more surprised than I when I turned it right side out and it worked!! Not perfect but he was happy. Now I have to find more cushions to cover so I can work out my mistakes. Thank you so much!
I'm impressed with your sewing skills! I bookmarked this video, so I can use it when I need to create seat cushions. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and the calculator!
I was in a fabric store yesterday and another lady walked in also watching your cushion video on her phone 😅 My LSZ-1 is an amazing machine, but more than that, whenever I have a question on how to make something, it seems your videos and website always comes up first. Thanks for producing the educational content, it's really helped me learn my machine and how to sew better.
Great tutorial ! Despite not having a lot of the equipment (hot knife, table, clear ruler) I was able to get this made, albeit in three hours not thirty minutes. To anyone reading comments to see if they can manage this ... you absolutely can. Just don't buy old basting tape and hope it sticks....lesson learned. I wound up using pins but yeah.
I can't thank you enough. Although my box cushion is a complete success, it would not be if it were not for your exceptional directions and supporting visuals. I have to say the zipper and sliders really taxed my ability to follow instructions. Thank you again! I have a beautiful bright blue cushion on my patio and I plan on making more.
This is by far the best tutorial for box cushions. The only challenge I had was getting the zipper slider onto the zipper tape. Once I got the hang of it I was good to go.
So pleased with the results of this tutorial! I've successfully sewn several cushions with this method. The calculator and instructional video were amazing, and spot-on accurate! Thank you Sailrite!
This is too funny because I was just on a website looking at that particular Sunbrella fabric for my outdoor patio cushions. It’s bookmarked as one of my favorite fabrics. I’m here to brush up on my sewing skills before I invest the money. Can’t wait to make my new cushions custom-made when the supplies arrive. Thank you so much.
OMG, OMG, OMG why didn’t I find this 6 months ago☹️ my daughter asked me to make new covers for their camper van, it took me weeks, yes weeks, you have no idea how I struggled to put the covers on😫 once i actually got them made. Thank you from Australia for posting this info.
The details you give about sewing make the thought of selling this because it’s not so terrifying! Everything is explained easily and I plan on going to your website to order supplies. I love the machine too.
Wow, Lori that is a great review. We especially love that you are going to buy supplies from Sailrite. It is the only way we can keep producing free videos like this. Thanks a million!
What a fantastic video! So that is how they insert cushions into a tight cover. Mystery solved. Silk film. Good stuff. Worth investing in your machine, tools, and fabrics. Really great instructions. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for your amazingly helpful videos. I am an infrequent seamstress, but could not tell my granddaughter no when she asked me to make her cushion for the window seat her dad made for her. I am using your “30 minute cushion” video & directions. I finished it this morning and only had to rip out 1 seam to adjust the length. I guess measure twice cut once didn’t work as well as it should have! 😉 The final cushion looks like it was made by a professional instead of a really old woman who sews infrequently! Thank you for making your knowledge available for anyone to use! Bless you!
Managed my first one in about an hour! Second one is down to 50 minutes...im pretty new to the sewing machine. Thanks for the easy to follow pattern, calculator and videos!
At the 2021 Annapolis Sailboat show people were wowed by amazing million dollar yachts but also by the Sailrite booth! I'm sure some part of me that bought that big boat did it as an excuse to buy the new Sailrite machine. Love your videos.
What an awesome tutorial! I have made my own custom mattress covers for our campervan using this method - it was quick & fabric efficient! I just finished another small box cushion for a custom guitar rig with very professional results. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thank You .. Excellent Presentation.. Appreciate this professional level of education. This trade requires patience and the ability to stay in pattern without cutting corners.. This is how a professional trimmer performs everyday..
Absolutely brilliant! I used your pattern dimensions with the online calculator . Didn't have tape or a hot knife so I just zigzagged all around. So happy with my calico attempt, now I will do with the real fabric!
Woow!!! I saw the video from begine to end very interesred. You are a really pro. I did not know the silk plástic and the trick with the vacum. Wow. Thank you so much for the video.
Love this method! The basting tape is brilliant! I’m making several large cushions for our bus/rv conversion and I’m really happy with the results. I cut out all my fabric first, then am doing the construction. Just the construction part takes me about 45 minutes, and putting that zipper pull on to the zipper is the most time consuming part. 😅 Also, even with using Sailrite’s silk film and the vacuum, I found it helpful to recruit a helper for getting the cushion into the cover correctly.
Thank you for this video. I made my first set of cushions and love how they look. The calculator made figuring out my measurements easy and your basting tape was amazing. Thank you for making such a helpful, straight forward video. You're a great teacher!
We are so glad that your cushion project came out great! Thanks for your positive comments, we are glad to help. Be sure to subscribe and like out videos, if you have not done so already.
THANK YOU FOR THE EDUCATION. I LOVE HOW YOU EXPLAINED EVERYTHING. YOU ANSWERED MANY QUESTIONS AND SPOKE CLEAR. I GAINED SO MUCH WITH THE BONUS OF THE BOOST IN MY CONFIDENCE TO GIVE THIS A GO! 😊😊✌🏼
Wow, I must be doing something right if I answered all your questions and boosted your confidence! I should get a gold star for that. Just kidding, but seriously, I'm happy to hear that I could help you out.
⭐✨😊 Happy New Year! May we all find it in our hearts to give more in 24 for it's by giving we all receive. Life isn't about who can attain the best simply because the best comes from where all gave way creating the betterment where each are able just the same. Where it is possible for our given efforts to change into being effortless. Building the trust in relationships gives protection and peace. It's really simple to love everyone when you understand that you don't have to like in order to give respect and that my friend is the root of all love! We can accept the truth and meet in the middle because no matter what the opinion is right Accompanies wrong. Nonetheless each of the two are equally dependent upon the other where it is the given fact both serve the same purpose in a different way. Life is complex not complicated misunderstandings create our natures rAw design to get mixed up ass backwards in a battle of tug a WaR which is ASSINIE because no one has the given ability to survive life we can though give to become better by giving so no one is left struggling rather all are enabled by striving to give more we all gain the ability to become thriving. When we die those we leave behind still gain from the bond of our giving love. Love is everlasting.....it's easy and we all have the means it's called RESPECT. WE ARE DIFFERENT ALWAYS HAVE BEEN ALWAYS WILL BE ITS CALLED UNIQUE! ✌🏼
Great tutorial. Calculator was PERFECT and appreciate the step by step. Just made a 74x10x4 cushion to augment my RV bed. Used muslin to wrap the foam.
Thanks for this. I have 7 cushions to make. After the first one I cut out some thin plywood blocks for the corner and center cut sizes. I also didn't want to buy a hot knife so I used a propane torch and a butter knife to make the cuts. Heat up the butter knife and use it like a scalpel. I was cutting on a concrete floor. It probably won't work on any other surface without damaging it. Not to mention its dangerous so if you do this, don't burn yourself or your property down.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for this video. My daughter and son-in-law asked me to make new custion covers for their sofa (large 79" long) out of your Sailrite Crypton fabric. I couldn't have done it with out you.,
Been sewing for 55 years and never knew about the basting tape! What a game changer!
That's awesome to hear! It's never too late to discover new techniques in sewing.

Very well said !!!
I’ve never seen a better instructional video than this one is! It sure reduces the anxiety of making your own custom size cushions! Thank you!
Wow, thanks for the very kind comments.
This gentleman is a very good teacher, I went from barely being able to sew a button to make these cushions. Thank you.
I agree, it’s a crystal clear tutorial
yes! very well presented!
I made my first cushion the day after seeing this video. The calculator was spot on and the finished product looks awesome! Now about those 30 minutes....
I agree! It'll take 30 minutes if you have everything measured and already cut, a huge table with your heavy-duty machine, have done it before, and are a pro! A good video otherwise.
Thank you for being the only person to post a proper tutorial showing the corners.
I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful!
It does take a while to lay out, measure and cut, but the actual sewing is super fast and easy. And the results are great. For those that don’t want to spend a lot of money on a hot knife and tempered glass (because I’m only doing this once) a $15 wood burning tool from Home Depot and an old cookie sheet work really well.
I purchased the zipper chain, zipper slider, and basting tape from sail rite and followed this tutorial to make 4 cushion covers for the dinette in my horse trailer living quarters (camper).
Thanks to your fabric calculator and this video, I was able to do all 4 today (9 hrs total with breaks) They look like like they were made by a professional.
I used my late grandmother’s sewing machine for the first time since she passed. It’s a bernina and it worked great! I was intimidated to do this, but I feel accomplished now! Thank you!!
Wow, good job! Glad we could help.
Thanks so much for the detailed tutorial. I must be a slow learner, because I had to watch parts of it numerous times. It took me 3 days to make the first 30 minute cushion, but the second will go much faster!The fabric calculator was a godsend. Thank you, thank you, thank you. My cushion may have been the smallest ever calculated (a mattress for a doll bed). The finished products won't win a prize, but the grandgirls won't mind.
You are not a slow learner. Just fastidious . Im gonna give it a go in a week or so.
I’ve been sewing for years and still watch these videos over and over again. Don’t you just love grandchildren! They think everything you do is wonderful.
Thanks for this video. I sewed a cushion using my handwoven fabric. I was worried about making mistakes in the sewing and thereby ruining handwoven fabric. But, your video helped immensely. And the fabric calculator. Thank you so much.
I'm so glad to hear that the video helped you out! Sounds like you did an amazing job. Keep up the great work!
Well it took me about 6 hours and a lot of homicidal thoughts towards my sewing machine but I finally got cushion #1 complete!! Not a fan of the seam stick but I kept with it since I'm the amateur. Unfortunately, the seam allowance did not fully cover the tape so it peaks thru in some spots. I'm sticking with pins for my next two cushions bcuz that's what I'm used to. All the same, I still appreciate this professional tutorial and all the resources. Thank you Saaaayyyyyrite 🙂
I know exactly how you feel. I have a tumultuous relationship with my sewing machine that involves a lot of swearing.
I did pins as well and it probably took a total of 5 hours, but my cushions were huge and cutting out without the professional tools was tedious. I used the grout lines in my tile in my kitchen to help with cutting straight.
@@penelope5534 😂😂
I have only sewn a few masks, but was able to follow these directions to make huge 79.5 x 19 inch box cushions from half of a twin xl mattress. I didn’t have the basting tape so I just pinned and ironed first. Turned out really nice!!! Thank you for such fabulous instructions!
That's about the size I'm making
I'm nervous lol
I've put off this project for 2.5 years because of my fear of zippers. The instruction was clear and concise and the use of new materials and methods awe-inspiring, Thanks so much much! My first cushion took a day-and-a-half and I made an error when I folded my fabric to fit my work area (floor), but my second attempt took much less time and looks beautiful. I have more than enough confidence to finish the other 5 cushions for my two window seats. Wonderful!
Thanks so much for this tutorial and the fabric calculator! Saved me tons of time and anxiety not having to cut every side and sew together😊 I used this tutorial for a 66 inch bench cushion and everything came out perfect.
The best video ever on how to sew a box cushion My son and I were in the process of converting an old van to become a camper, and we had to make cushions for the seats. We had no experience in sewing whatsoever, and it seemed like a daunting task. In the beginning we thought we had to get a professional to sew them for us, but it would have been far too expensive. Instead we did a search on how to make a cushion, and to our luck, we found this excellent video. By following the instructions step by step, we managed to sew some beautiful well-fitting cushions. We even followed the link to the Sailrite website and used the fabric calculator to measure the amount of fabric we should use. The measurements were so precise that we only needed to buy exactly the fabric that we needed, with no leftover. We live in Denmark, so it was not really possible to order the materials from you, but had we been closer we would definitely have ordered everything from the Sailrite shop. The videos have been so inspiring that we we want to come back another time, to learn how to sew curtains and other items for the van and for the house. So thank you once again for helping and inspiring to creativity, it has meant the world to us.
Thanks for this very kind comment! Good job with your van cushions.
Never have used a sewing machine until 2 days ago on a scrap peice and just finished my first cushion. This is such a good video! I have 1 of 6 cushion complete. Having to figure out some things with sewing 2 panels together and following this process was a bit tricky but hopefully I did it all correct!
How many are watching this because they are building a van?
This was a life saver! Finished my tiny camper/RV's cushions in 2 nights. I'd say I could listen to this man talk for hours, but I did haha! Great instructor, thanks y'all!
I’ve made all of my outdoor cushions with this video and I couldn’t be happier…. But mostly listening to this man say EASY is the most calming thing I’ve ever heard
So glad that this video helped with your cushion projects.
Best video ever for making my own cushion covers, because it comes with a link that proves measurements for the pattern. I made one with local sewing supplies, and then used the supplies sold by Sailrite. Use their supplies, they are top quality and I was able to make my second cushion in half the time. Have fun.
Thanks for the kind comments and for buying your supplies from Sailrite! Good to know that you were able to make your cushions easily and faster the second time.
After watching this video, my hubby and I used my new sewing machine, and made an eight-foot long cushion for a window seat in our son's new house. We used bright red Sunbrella fabric, and it turned out wonderful!
Followed this video step by step and I'm sooo pleased with how my cushion covers came out! The only thing I did different was instead of using a small piece of scrap just over the zipper ends, I put some on each of the corners as well to give them extra strength and make them look more 'square'. This was my very first attempt at doing something like this, so it took WAY longer than 30 minutes. I'll be saving this video in my 'favorites' for future reference. Thank you!
We at Sailrite are glad to help! Good job and great suggestion!!!!!!
This saved me sooo much time. The most user friendly video tutorial I have ever seen! Made all my campervan bed cushions in 24 hrs with non sewing experience. Thank God for the fabric calculator.... THANK YOU!
We are so thankful that you took the time to watch our tutorial and let us know how it worked for you! We are so pleased it made your project easier.
This is by-far the best method I've seen, using the tape is definitely helpful since I was using Sailrite's vinyl fabric. I did use a regular zipper made for cushions, which was still easy to do. If you make them frequently then you could probably do it in 30 min, but count on at least an hour for 1 cushion, the second one will go faster. Thank you Sailrite!
I recovered a friend's rocking chair cushions and used this tutorial for the bottom cushion. It took me HOURS just to figure out the math. I measured, re-measured and measured some more. I finally took a big breath and cut the material while feeling a sense of doom that I had done it wrong. Like others here said, I had to watch this video over and over again while sewing. So many times rewinding again and again studying each step. (I have to admit there were a few cuss words during the process.) However, when I put the cushion inside the cover tonight, it fit! And it looks great! Well, pretty great for my first cushion cover any way. Thanks for the tutorial!
Great job! Now you can make the next ones much faster. Happy sewing from Sailrite.
Wow! This is a FABULOUS tutorial. You give great directions and explanations as you go through the entire process.
What perfect timing! I have the high density foam and 8oz denim Fabric for cushions for my travel trailer. I know that the denim needs to be stabilized, so I’ planning to apply fusible fleece to the wrong side. This is a fabulous method of covering/making cushions! I’ve used other methods in the past, but NEVER again. I’ve used boxed corners for totes and bags. I’ve never seen this method of inserting a zipper. None of the patterns I’ve used have said to close the zipper and re-install the zipper tab. This is brilliant! No more butting the edges at the open end of the zipper!
Thank you SO much for the tutorial and the fabric calculator!
Stay Well!

I sew at home and always looking for a better, more efficient way to make things. I made a replacement bench cushion using this method,"The 30 minute Cushion" out of one panel of fabric. It took me way longer than 30 minutes but it turned out fabulous. Thanks for the tutorials you post. Love to watch them!
Hi it’s Norm Thompson one of your new customers I have emailed you a while ago about things you are very good at your work I highly recommend you folks to the people I do sewing for thank you for taking the time to make the videos
Your welcome. Thanks for your recommendations to others.
When I saw your sewing machine all I could think of was wow! Now that's a sewing machine! All metal! My mom had one with that type of metal. 1950's era!
I had a lot of double sided tape used for card making. Why didn't I think of this earlier? Great idea to make things work so much faster and easier.
Amazing!!!! Thank you so much for putting this video together! I had zero experience in sewing full stop and I’ve just complete 6 large box cushions for my campervan which fitted perfectly FIRST TIME!!!! I’m extremely impressed with the fit. Couldn’t have done it without this video! Saved me a fortune 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
We are glad to help. Good job!!!!
Can we just talk about how well he pattern matched that zipper seam? Because that's really good.
Very clear detailed directions. I have sewn cushions and other things with box corners as well as clothing for over 50 yrs. Your video was very clear and I am sure easy for those with much less experience to be able to follow. thanks for the effort and for the calculator.
Love your seam stick. Best stuff I have ever used in 40 years of sewing.
That is awesome!
Very clear, informative tutorial. I realize that making something the first time is a little more time consuming, I almost always have a needle break, thread break... But I love that you go over foam types, the calculator and especially that you don't make me watch you sew something twice! Great job, now off to make my cushion.
Glad you liked it!
I am very pleased with my 300 minute cushion! I tried a small (19 X 21) cushion as a test before I tackled new covers for our glider. I have sewn curtains, shades, pillow covers, but always avoided zippers as my machine has no zipper foot. Guess what... you don't need one! Ordered the materials for the glider today, from Sailrite of course.
This is the absolute video for making the cushion a friend and I made 2 yesterday for a bench on one end the small one that had to connect to the cushion where a 2-inch pipe went through the bench, we had a time figuring out how to do the cutout but finally got it to work. I love love the fabric calculator we would not have been able to figure it out without that YOU guys thank again. Yes, more than likely we could do another one in 30 minutes next time!!!
That is great news! Thanks for the very positive comment!
I just made a great box cushion for my husband - all sofas are too deep for average people to sit on and this pattern helped me to bridge the gap perfectly. Thank you. The calculator was spot on!
Excellent! Glad to help.
Yours is by far the easiest of all the videos I watched. I'm sticking with this one!
It took me more like an hour and 30 minutes but the result was worth it. I had one of those larger sized cushions so I had to sew the two panels together. Love the calculator that figures out measurements but wish they had done the fractional conversion for me. That’s what took the most time even using the table. Sailrite does make it easy for even a novice sewer to tackle projects that I never thought I could do.
Your instructions were excellent! I made three cushions at the same time. What took the longest were the zippers, but I found a TH-cam to help make my life easier! Thank you so very much for all your tips!!
I'm so glad to hear that you found the instructions helpful! Three cushions at once is quite the achievement. Zippers can definitely be a little tricky, but it sounds like you handled it like a pro!
Can you provide a link to the video? Thanks
Just go to TH-cam and type in 30 Minute Cushion! @@bigmvb4840
Amazing tutorial! I didn't have the sticking basting tape, or a silk cushion bag, and was able to make it easily. I ironed down and pinned all the things that needed the sticking tape, and used elbow grease to get the foam inside the cushion cover.
I was able to make my first cushion, and a large one at that! It looks amazing. Thanks sailrite!
Excellent Job!!!!
The hot knife was new to me !!! Always hate that shredding of woven fabric ! Will be looking into that ! I've been sewing since was 5 yrs old ,,but today I learned something new which i loved, Ive never see that one piece method with the cut in center sides !! WOO HOO thanks so so much Sir !!! Always done side pieces which takes so much longer an is harder to match up unless your doing piping ,you can do this way !!! Wow thanks
Thanks so much for this wonderful tutorial. I just recovered a 10 foot long window seat cushion. It took me much longer than 30 minutes, but turned out perfect. I was concerned that the cut outs were too small, but with the 1/2 inch seams, they fit the 2 inch deep cushion like a charm!
Same! I was sure the cutouts were too small and it wouldn’t fit the thickness of my foam, but I forged on and had faith that these professionals had it right, and all was well!
We are so glad your cushions came out great. Ya.... everyone forgets that the 1/2" seam allowance makes each corner much larger than the cut outs. Thanks for your kind comments. @@singingcyclist6049
What lovely clean hands and nails this presenter has, and he can sew! He isn’t fazed by making small mistakes either.! He is a Prince!
This video/technique is awesome! I used the technique to make a large carrying bag for a Kuranda dog bed (added handles). I had to figure out the zipper length that would accommodate the bed, but after that, I used the calculator and followed the instructions. My problem is I am not a very "precise" person, but with this technique, I highly recommend some precision with measuring and notching out the corners. For my first time (cutting fabric to finished product), it took about three hours, but with practice, the time should improve. I will definitely use this technique for covering cushions in the future. The basting tape is my new best friend. THANK YOU SAILRITE!
I just love Sailrite! Thank you for the perfect tools for fabric and form selection as well as excellent instruction on how to make cushions! I was able to make all six professional looking cushions for our van conversion.
Excellent job.
Looked up how to make a cushion on TH-cam and found your cushion in 30 minutes and I was sold. Thank you for having the links in the description of the video as well!
We are glad to help. Let us know if you have questions about the process or the supplies we sell at Sailrite. Thanks and good luck with your cushion!!!
This is the best tutorial ever, with the calculator makes it so easy!
First cushion took some time, second was finished in an hour or so...
The best instructional video on how to make your own outdoor cushions. You have given me the confidence to tackle this project. Thank you for taking the time!!!
thank you thank you thank you for this video! I have a large bench under a window in my kitchen and 3 years ago I had a cushion custom made because I couldn't find a cushion on the market. I paid over $400 for it! And then a couple months ago I spilled something on it and without thinking, threw the cover in the wash and the cover shrank and didn't fit anymore (I know... talk about frustrating). I was desperate for a new cushion cover without paying $400. Once I had all the materials, only took me a couple hours to make! seriously so helpful.
We are glad that this video helped you build a cushion yourself and saved you money. Good job!!!
Wow. Just made some of these covers for a caravan. So easy, and the calculator is brilliant. One bit of advice if you are making very big covers as I was, add some pins when you are using the basting tape on the zip, so it definitely doesnt move when you are maneuvering all the fabric. Thanks Sailrite.
That's a great tip! Good job.
Gotta love the TH-cam algorithm sometimes… I’ve been Googling van cushions and buying fabrics and this video subsequently popped up. Brilliant.
I'll be coming back to this when I make new cushions for my camper. I haven't used my sewing machine in a long time but this video is easy to follow
Absolutely brilliant tutorial. The fiddliest bit I found was the zipper, not the sewing but the little puller. Just about to start the second one. Thank you!
I'm so glad you found the tutorial helpful! Best of luck with the second one.
This is the best of ANY ‘how to’ videos I have ever seen. Everything is explained so well! Generally I have questions at several points in a video but the only one I had in yours was dealt with by you in an edit (the ‘too long’ zip). Thankyou so much.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the great comments!
Thank you. You explain everything clearly enough to give me the confidence to attempt to make a cover. If you’re not already, you would make a great teacher. Cheers
Thanks for a kind comment!
Great instructional video. Best tips: basting tape, the zipper tricks, and plastic to help slide foam cushion into its new home. Results look professional! Thank you!
Glad you like it.
Thank you for a wonderfully informative video! I successfully made my first box cushion for our porch bench and it turned out great. I appreciate the straightforward directions without additional commentary. I was able to pause the video as I went. The online calculator was perfect. I will definitely consider Sailrite for my sewing needs and look for other videos.
Great job. So glad you liked this video.
It took me a few hours as well to make my first cushion but I think I have a better idea of what to do now so hopefully I’ll be able to cut down on my time. I only have 7 more to sew. I was following other tutorials but this one made the most sense to me especially showing the closeup of the work. Thank you.
Glad your cushion came out well. I hope the rest of the 7 come out great!
Perfect timing to see this video. I need to make cushions for my patio chairs. This video was just what I needed. Thank you!
Glad we could help.
thank you for your great advice!!! I've made new cushions for my renovated camper!! I am watching you from Greece, Athens!! many greetings to you all!! ❤
Glad the cushions came out well. Thanks!!!
A wonderful tutorial! Thx!! I have done a lot of sewing, over many years--mainly clothing. But I always love to find a new and better way to do something: your way of doing the box corners, with the corner cut-outs and the zipper in the middle of the sides, is clever and so much more fun to sew than what I've done previously (a top and bottom piece, with a long strip to sew for the sides, with tricky maneuvering around the corners). (NB: You can also make the cushion with a fabric with a one-way directional pattern (i.e., a pattern that has one way that looks right (e.g., dogs all standing upright) and the other way looks upside down (all the dogs with their feet in the air!); simply sew 2 pieces together with the seam at the bottom of each design (at the dogs' feet), and then cut out the cushion with that seam at the center, parallel to the edge for the zipper. This may be too confusing if you're not an experienced sewer!)
I really appreciate your time and talent to produce these videos. Thank you!!
Your welcome! Thanks.
Never having made anything like this before, I foolishly told my son I would make 2 cushions for a bench he made…and he chose a faux leather material. Yikes! Watched your video several times-the basting tape and zipper tape were fabulous ideas. Took me probably 3 hours for just one and I have to say, no one was more surprised than I when I turned it right side out and it worked!! Not perfect but he was happy. Now I have to find more cushions to cover so I can work out my mistakes.
Thank you so much!
So glad your cushion came out well. It will be much easier and faster on the second and each progressive one.
I'm impressed with your sewing skills! I bookmarked this video, so I can use it when I need to create seat cushions. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and the calculator!
Excellent, clear directions! And now I have beautiful patio cushions! Thank you!
So, glad you made patio cushions following this tutorial.
I was in a fabric store yesterday and another lady walked in also watching your cushion video on her phone 😅 My LSZ-1 is an amazing machine, but more than that, whenever I have a question on how to make something, it seems your videos and website always comes up first. Thanks for producing the educational content, it's really helped me learn my machine and how to sew better.
We are so glad that you like your LSZ-1 sewing machine. Thanks for your kind comments!!!
Great tutorial ! Despite not having a lot of the equipment (hot knife, table, clear ruler) I was able to get this made, albeit in three hours not thirty minutes. To anyone reading comments to see if they can manage this ... you absolutely can. Just don't buy old basting tape and hope it sticks....lesson learned. I wound up using pins but yeah.
Thanks for your kind comments. Good job with your cushion project.
I can't thank you enough. Although my box cushion is a complete success, it would not be if it were not for your exceptional directions and supporting visuals. I have to say the zipper and sliders really taxed my ability to follow instructions.
Thank you again! I have a beautiful bright blue cushion on my patio and I plan on making more.
Excellent! Glad that you were able to make your cushion.
This is by far the best tutorial for box cushions. The only challenge I had was getting the zipper slider onto the zipper tape. Once I got the hang of it I was good to go.
So pleased with the results of this tutorial! I've successfully sewn several cushions with this method. The calculator and instructional video were amazing, and spot-on accurate! Thank you Sailrite!
This is too funny because I was just on a website looking at that particular Sunbrella fabric for my outdoor patio cushions. It’s bookmarked as one of my favorite fabrics. I’m here to brush up on my sewing skills before I invest the money. Can’t wait to make my new cushions custom-made when the supplies arrive. Thank you so much.
OMG, OMG, OMG why didn’t I find this 6 months ago☹️ my daughter asked me to make new covers for their camper van, it took me weeks, yes weeks, you have no idea how I struggled to put the covers on😫 once i actually got them made. Thank you from Australia for posting this info.
Your welcome. Next time you need to make cushions come back here and watch this video for help.
The details you give about sewing make the thought of selling this because it’s not so terrifying! Everything is explained easily and I plan on going to your website to order supplies. I love the machine too.
Wow, Lori that is a great review. We especially love that you are going to buy supplies from Sailrite. It is the only way we can keep producing free videos like this. Thanks a million!
What a fantastic video! So that is how they insert cushions into a tight cover. Mystery solved. Silk film. Good stuff. Worth investing in your machine, tools, and fabrics. Really great instructions. Thank you!!
I really appreciate your feedback! It means a lot to me that you found the instructions helpful. Thank you for watching!
Dear Sailrite:
Thank you so much for your amazingly helpful videos. I am an infrequent seamstress, but could not tell my granddaughter no when she asked me to make her cushion for the window seat her dad made for her. I am using your “30 minute cushion” video & directions. I finished it this morning and only had to rip out 1 seam to adjust the length. I guess measure twice cut once didn’t work as well as it should have! 😉 The final cushion looks like it was made by a professional instead of a really old woman who sews infrequently! Thank you for making your knowledge available for anyone to use! Bless you!
Sincerely,
Shirley Baker
We are so glad that this video helped you make a professional looking cushion. Good job!!!!
Managed my first one in about an hour! Second one is down to 50 minutes...im pretty new to the sewing machine. Thanks for the easy to follow pattern, calculator and videos!
Your welcome. Good job!
At the 2021 Annapolis Sailboat show people were wowed by amazing million dollar yachts but also by the Sailrite booth! I'm sure some part of me that bought that big boat did it as an excuse to buy the new Sailrite machine. Love your videos.
GREAT VIDEO! When pushing the corners out I use a chopstick. It really helps get those corners well and save on fingers if your fabric is sturdy.
What an awesome tutorial! I have made my own custom mattress covers for our campervan using this method - it was quick & fabric efficient! I just finished another small box cushion for a custom guitar rig with very professional results. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Glad you liked it!
These instructions are exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Thank you Sailrite😊
Cushions made easy, just made 5 for my camper van, thanks for the tutorial and the money I saved.
We are glad to help!!!!
I have NEVER HEARD OF A HOT KNIFE BEFORE ! Great job and so precise !.
Yep, we use a hot knife often in canvas and upholstery jobs. Thanks!!!
Great instructions! I’ve put it off because I didn’t know how much fabric I’d need!
Thank You .. Excellent Presentation.. Appreciate this professional level of education. This trade requires patience and the ability to stay in pattern without cutting corners.. This is how a professional trimmer performs everyday..
Absolutely brilliant! I used your pattern dimensions with the online calculator . Didn't have tape or a hot knife so I just zigzagged all around. So happy with my calico attempt, now I will do with the real fabric!
Glad it worked out well for you!
Thanks for the video. To show my gratitude I'll be doing business with you for my skoolie.
Excellent! That is why we make these free videos. Thanks!!!
My cushion came out PERFECTLY using your video and your calculator. Thank you so much!
Wow, good job!
Woow!!! I saw the video from begine to end very interesred. You are a really pro. I did not know the silk plástic and the trick with the vacum. Wow. Thank you so much for the video.
Your welcome!!!!
Love this method! The basting tape is brilliant! I’m making several large cushions for our bus/rv conversion and I’m really happy with the results. I cut out all my fabric first, then am doing the construction. Just the construction part takes me about 45 minutes, and putting that zipper pull on to the zipper is the most time consuming part. 😅 Also, even with using Sailrite’s silk film and the vacuum, I found it helpful to recruit a helper for getting the cushion into the cover correctly.
That is good news! Glad you like this method.
Thank you for this video. I made my first set of cushions and love how they look. The calculator made figuring out my measurements easy and your basting tape was amazing. Thank you for making such a helpful, straight forward video. You're a great teacher!
We are so glad that your cushion project came out great! Thanks for your positive comments, we are glad to help. Be sure to subscribe and like out videos, if you have not done so already.
THANK YOU FOR THE
EDUCATION. I LOVE HOW YOU EXPLAINED EVERYTHING. YOU ANSWERED MANY QUESTIONS AND SPOKE CLEAR. I GAINED SO MUCH WITH THE BONUS OF THE BOOST IN MY CONFIDENCE TO GIVE THIS A GO! 😊😊✌🏼
Wow, I must be doing something right if I answered all your questions and boosted your confidence! I should get a gold star for that. Just kidding, but seriously, I'm happy to hear that I could help you out.
⭐✨😊 Happy New Year! May we all find it in our hearts to give more in 24 for it's by giving we all receive. Life isn't about who can attain the best simply because the best comes from where all gave way creating the betterment where each are able just the same. Where it is possible for our given efforts to change into being effortless. Building the trust in relationships gives protection and peace. It's really simple to love everyone when you understand that you don't have to like in order to give respect and that my friend is the root of all love! We can accept the truth and meet in the middle because no matter what the opinion is right Accompanies wrong. Nonetheless each of the two are equally dependent upon the other where it is the given fact both serve the same purpose in a different way. Life is complex not complicated misunderstandings create our natures rAw design to get mixed up ass backwards in a battle of tug a WaR which is ASSINIE because no one has the given ability to survive life we can though give to become better by giving so no one is left struggling rather all are enabled by striving to give more we all gain the ability to become thriving. When we die those we leave behind still gain from the bond of our giving love. Love is everlasting.....it's easy and we all have the means it's called RESPECT. WE ARE DIFFERENT ALWAYS HAVE BEEN ALWAYS WILL BE ITS CALLED UNIQUE! ✌🏼
I love that double sided tape. I'm off to get some straight away
Great tutorial. Calculator was PERFECT and appreciate the step by step. Just made a 74x10x4 cushion to augment my RV bed. Used muslin to wrap the foam.
Hey, I was thinking about doing the same thing! Did you have to sew 2 pieces of fabric together? Also what foam did you use? Please and Thanks!
Thanks for this. I have 7 cushions to make. After the first one I cut out some thin plywood blocks for the corner and center cut sizes. I also didn't want to buy a hot knife so I used a propane torch and a butter knife to make the cuts. Heat up the butter knife and use it like a scalpel. I was cutting on a concrete floor. It probably won't work on any other surface without damaging it. Not to mention its dangerous so if you do this, don't burn yourself or your property down.
Another brilliant tutorial from Sailrite! Thank you from the UK!
Thanks!!!
I loved your video. I am so happy with my front porch chairs. I wish I could include a pic. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for this video. My daughter and son-in-law asked me to make new custion covers for their sofa (large 79" long) out of your Sailrite Crypton fabric. I couldn't have done it with out you.,
Glad to help! Good job.
Thank you for this tutorial. I will be making outdoor cushions and I now know I can do it and find all the supplies I nee.
