    The key takeaways are the instructions to make an envelope cushion out of fabric.

    The steps to make the cushion front are to cut a piece of fabric larger than the cushion size, make a paper pattern, lay out and cut the fabric.

    The steps to make the cushion back are to cut two pieces of fabric to the back size, fold one edge on each piece and hem it, and cut them out.

    MAKE YOUR OWN CUSHION

    Use these instructions to make an easy


    envelope cushion.

    3. For the envelope back, you need


    two pieces of fabric. Make a pattern
    for these that measures the same
    width as for the front but about twothirds the length, e.g. 53cm x 35cm.

    4. Lay out your fabric for the front


    of the cushion. Make sure its nice
    and flat.

    Sewing machine
    Iron
    Cushion inner
    One metre of fabric
    Paper (wider than the inner)
    Pinking shears

    2. Using this measurement, make


    a paper pattern to use as a guide
    to cut out the fabric. Make a pattern
    for the front of the cushion first.

    1.To begin, measure your cushion


    inner. Add a 1.5cm seam allowance
    to each of the four sides. So, for
    a 50cm x 50cm inner, youll cut a
    piece of fabric 53cm x 53cm.

    Scissors
    Sewing gauge
    Tape measure
    Matching thread
    Pencil
    Pins

    5. Place the pattern on the


    fabric and pin it in place.

    1.

    Tip:
    Cut a nice straight line, as close
    to the pattern as possible.

    10. Cut out the fabric for the two


    back panels of the cushion.

    7. Lay out your fabric for the back


    of the cushion. Youll be cutting
    both back pieces at once.

    8. Again, make sure the fabric is


    nice and flat.

    9. Place the pattern on the fabric


    and pin it in place. Dont pin along
    the folded edge.

    12. Unpin the patterns. You should


    now have one piece of fabric for the
    front and two for the back.

    13. Before you sew all the pieces


    together, you need to hem one long
    edge on each of the back panels.

    Fold the fabric over to the length


    of the paper pattern.

    11. When you get to the folded


    edge, slip your scissors into the
    fold and cut sideways.

    Set your sewing gauge to 1cm


    and use it as a guide to fold along
    the edge of the fabric.

    6. Cut out the fabric for the front


    of the cushion.

    14. Iron the seam flat as you fold.

    15. Repeat, this time folding


    over 1.5cm.
    (This contains the fraying edge.)

    16. Pin as you go in preparation for


    sewing. Do this to one long edge of
    each back panel.

    17. You should now have two


    back panels, each with one long
    edge hemmed.

    18. Now its time to arrange your


    fabric pieces to sew together!
    Take your front piece of fabric
    and lay it right side up.

    19. Lay one of the back panels on


    top, right side down. The hemmed
    edge should be the inner edge.

    20. Lay the second panel over this,


    as shown.

    21. Pin the layers in place, with


    the pins at right angles to the
    fabric, so theyre easier to pull
    out as you sew.

    Sew the seams with your machine


    set to straight stitch.

    23. You should now have a


    sewn up cushion cover. Just some
    finishing touches to go.

    24. Snip off each corner.


    This removes excess fabric, so you
    can push the corners out to a point.

    Now, youre all ready to sew!


    With your machine set to straight
    stitch, start half way along one
    edge. Remember to do a couple
    of reverse stitches so the seam
    doesnt unravel. Sew all four sides,
    turning at each pencilled corner.

    26. Time to see your handiwork!


    Turn the cushion cover right side
    out. Using your pencil, push out the
    corners so theyre nice and pointy.

    25. Now grab your pinking shears


    and cut along each edge.
    This stops the edges of the fabric
    from fraying.
    If you dont have pinking
    shears, sew along the edges
    using zigzag stitch.

    27. Give your cover a quick iron.

    28. Insert the inner.

    29. And thats it a completed


    cushion. Arent you clever!

    22. Mark corner turnings before


    you sew. Use your gauge to
    measure 1.5cm in on each corner,
    placing a dot with your pencil.
