Kim - YOU ARE AWESOME! Thank you sew very much for such a fantastic tutorial!
I'll be sure to search for your tutorials whenever I need help. You explain, and show, all of the necessary steps in an easy-to-understand way. Thanks!
Your technique is excellent. You make it look easy!
This was super helpful! I'm a beginner teaching myself to sew via my sewing machine manual and UA-cam videos so that I can tackle a couple reupholstering projects. Your tips for cornering are a huge help!
By far the BEST video on how to make a cushion cover. I have watched so many and they were all mostly stressful. You were the most clear and concise! Thank you so much!!
Just bought a couch to reupholster and these videos are helping so much!! Very talented you are :)
Very clear instructions for a beautiful, professional-looking cushion - now I want to go try to make one!
Thanks Stephanie, Once you've completed yours you should join our google community, plus.google.com/u/0/communities/105825239410149005981, and share your projects and questions with the group.
I love cushions with piping and would love to be able to make them someday. Your approach is so much more straightforward than others I’ve seen. Thank you!
Thank you now I can start on my cushions that I have been putting off for a while. You make it seem so easy. Thank you for taking the time to help others. God bless
Thank you for helping to make my project happen. I've watched each video over and over and then attempted it. My deck is beautiful. You enabled me to make cuts that I would have hated to do alone. My zippers are looking good as well. Can a cushion be made without the cording? Will the cushions hold up as well? Thank you again for all your videos and making them understandable. God bless.
Some people just love to make others feel less than so they can feel more than and that's sad...awesome video don't change a thing!
That was fantastic Kim - I found it really helpful. Being a kinesthetic learner, seeing it done by someone else makes a huge difference in being able to get something done. Thank you so much.
Brilliant tutorial, just what I needed to give me the confidence to tackle a much needed cushion repair. Thanks Kim.
Wow, I've made two very simple types of pillow covers just by measuring the pillow form and going for it. These projects took me forever... I do however, incorporate my paintings, and my hand dyed fabrics. You made this so simple for me, I hope! God bless you sweetie!! I don't have any cording so I'll buy some and get started on this project soon! Thank you so much! Janet
I like your techniques very much as well as your presentation style. I'm having a little machine envy tho. That's a lovely juki.
You make this so easy to understand!! I tried to watch other videos and was afraid to even attempt to reupholster my old couch!! Thank you for your calming voice l!! I really enjoyed it.
Wow! Thrilling high-wire sewing - no pins or basting, boy was I impressed.I can't believe you managed the layers like you showed us. Thank you, applause!
You make it look so easy, Kim. I am going to attempt to make a cushion for my piano stool. Wish me luck.
Thank you Kim, once again, an informative video.
Thank you Kim. I just picked up old wicker chairs that with some TLC and new cushions, will look great. I dew clothing, but this was a big help to know about inserting the zipper and cording. Nice work on the cording. VERY HELPFUL video. I will watch a few more times before I attack it. Thank you.
I compared your skill and Craft to two other very experience upholstery sewers. You had even more speed and quality refinished work of a Master Craftsman Kim. You are extremely GIFTED. I hope to see more of your teachings, training skills to learn how to Master like you. Thank you so very much for your Craftsman quality time and training. It is indeed top of the line and among the very best teachers out there in this profession.
Thanks so much for such a great explanation. I am making covers for a vintage caravan & then a vw camper so this will be so useful. X
Thanks for sharing our video Lisa Timmins
Lisa Timmins how did your 2 projects turn out if you dont mind me intruding? Im remodeling an old Rolls International trailer and would like to redo the cusions.
Excellent video Kim, I actually feel I can do this!!
I'm sure you can! Try with scrap fabric first if you are unsure. Kim
I love the professionalism of this video...and although the techniques take practice....the opportunity to watch this numerous times will make a final project as perfect as the professional who produced it...I say thank you for sharing your skill!!
I'm a new, self taught, sewer. I started by sewing pillow covers and have re-upholstered a few ottomans. Videos like yours are priceless to me! I've now been asked to re-upholster patio cushions for someone, which I'm excited to do. Every "stitch" of information from your has proven to be helpful. Thank you so much!
Dmbsoul5 Thanks so much for the feed back. Please feel free to go on our FB page and share pictures of your projects. I love to see what everyone does.
Kim
Love your videos!!! They are so helpful, I learn so much and you are charming!!! Thank you very much!!! M
Hi MaryAnn, thank you for your kind words. Kim
Great video. Thanks.
I watched your video many times and used your technique to make chair cushions. I have been sewing for decades, but never upholstered. This technique worked very well and the best part was that any small errors ended up at the backs of the cushions. I made the zipper "turn the corners," that is, a little larger than the width of the cushions for ease of on and off. Thanks so much for your generosity in making the video.
Hi Christine, Glad it helped you out. Thanks for your kind words and for watching our videos. Please feel free to join our upholstery and soft home furnishings DIY community on google + and share your finished projects with us. Have a great day, Kim
Oh my goodness, I m so happy I came across your video of the boxed cushion. Seems I have done too much, work for nothing. I learned how to make slip covers about 18 years ago I taught myself from the library books and videos. But you gave me such a revelation of the boxed cushion. Since I really didn’t know how to do piping between all the layers, so I would pin the cut the fabric and sew the piping cord onto the face and the same with the closing of the cords! Thanks so much for making it easier for me and all the sewing lovers out there. I’ll be back.
Thank you Kim, great how to video...the only thing is I'd like to see how you measured and cut all of the pieces, unless i am missing something! Thanks for posting!
Sorry, we didn't realize people would also need that information at the time we made the video. Thanks for watching. Kim
I enjoyed watching you make the cover, put how do you know, or rather how to you measure your cushion to cut out the fabric?
I'm watching now as I am making a cushion for a cute white wicker loveseat! So far, so good! The videos and your explanation are so helpful!
As a male college student with some limited sewing knowledge, your video will be a huge help for my upcoming project. Best I have seen yet! Thanks,
so easy to understand!!!!! you are good
Thanks +LindaCurry glad to hear that. Kim
Súper like !!
Muy informativo y fácil de entender
Ojalá y hagan más vídeos educativos
Gracias!
Loved the video. It's so good see different techniques. The fast moving film makes it timely too - thank you for sharing.
Thanks Alejandra Canales and Connie Krapfl glad you enjoyed the videos.
Kim I really enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing!
I love your videos. I am gathering information from them. I just watched how to make a cushion cover...very nice work. Love all the detail. I tried to do the email list but the text sent a message back to me saying oops the keyword wasn't recognized or your session has timed out. Please check your keyword and try again. I don't have a keyword that I know of. I think I have subscribed, there is a check mark on the subscribed box. I am planning on maybe trying to reupholster my couch and love seat. I want to upholster it in leather or some fabric that is easy to clean, because I have pets.
I just bought a dining room set that has wood chairs, They are very hard to sit on and I decided to make some cushions for it. I wanted to pipes the edges also. My mother was a great sewer and taught tailoring and pattern drafting. So I learned a lot from her, but she died young and I have discovered You Tube. I am so grateful that you are on here, as I have not sewn uphostery fabric...I've mostly sewn apparel and quilts. I thought your video was the best. I taught me how to mark the corners to match the bottom, how the best way to sew the zipper panel in, how to match up and finish the cording...What a fabulous lesson! Thank you so much! I don't think you missed anything. It was very clear to me.
Love your videos. You have really showed me how to correctly make my covers for a chair cushion that I am working on that once was my great grandmothers. The chair is so loved by me and to know that it will continue to be cherished by me and my girls for many years to come. Thank you for your great videos. Jean Keeter Lake Lure, N.C.
A few viewers didn't like this video. I'm wondering what I can do different next time?
I liked the video, just wish I could sew that fast 😉
Some people do not like anything and have nothing better to do than dislike the efforts of others. It was a good video. It was informative and you explained your techniques and shared your tricks.
I loved it!
I watched with a critical eye, Kim, and I couldn't find anything wrong with this video. You gave pertinent information with your usual skill. The camera work was good. The sound quality was a bit muted in places, but I understood what you meant. You were wearing a dark color and looked a bit tired, but that wouldn't make someone give a thumb-down. You've had a troll, I suspect, who gets paid by the comment -- why, I can't figure. Don't fret over it. I learned a number of things. Thanks.
Nidia Minjares Thank You
I will be following this video as I make my new cushion covers. I spent a long time looking for instructions that made sense to me, and this one is clear. A friend found it for me and I am so pleased.
Wow, thank you so much! This was such a great tutorial and I will definitely be following these steps when I re-cover my patio cushions.
I think this is the best video I have seen . I am a beginning sewer and was able to follow these instructions easily .Mine isn't perfect but your instructions were very helpful .I don't know how you could have made them any clearer.I'm sure I will get better with time,thanks
Thank you so much so Brenda. Please join us live on blab.im/kimsupholstery to ask live questions. Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 8am. EST
Thanks
Kim
I appreciate the speed and clarity of this video, thanks. I’ve made my piping having followed your video on that and believe I understand the steps required to complete the box cushion. The tricky bit will be those little flaps but I’ll give it a go. By cushion 8 I’ll be a master ! Thanks again, I’ll be watching again no doubt.
Most amazing work ive watched on you tube about DIY for upholstering almost anything. Very easy to follow because she is so professional and precise. Thanks, Kim!!!
This is delightfully clear! Making covers for my camper van cushions and these are really helping.
the best tutorial I've ever seen on making a cushion because you are very precise and clear on what you're doing thanks so much
I RETURN AGAIN AND AGAIN - YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY!!!!!!! Thank you so much for your patience and your ability to teach/show this process in such a manner that even as slow as I am at learning this process - I understand! Tho I wish you were close enough to make it for me! Yours look so nice - mine is so-so!!! I keep a list of the BEST videos for whatever I am making - your's tops the list!!!!!!
Love your tutorials! I’ve watched many and you make it look so easy.
This is just what I was looking for. I've got my material cut and ready to go.
GREAT instructions for me. Yes, you make it look easy peasy!
This was an excellent tutorial. Thank you so much. I'm not as nervous as I was about cutting into a nice bolt of fabric for some old chairs. Thanks.
you make this look so easy....you are obviously very good at what you do. great video.
Thanks for posting this video, i just moved into a new house and I'm trying to put my own stamp by doing things myself. You made it easily to understand. Xxxx
Thanks so much for all your videos. Can't tell you how many times I've referred to them for help! Feel like I have a teacher just standing by ready. Love it!!
Kim, Thank you for the very plain explanation of how to make a box cushion cover. I find your voice very soothing and your explanations very easy to follow with the overhead camera. Thank you. I'm going to try to do this on three cushions for my daughter's couch.
Very clear video. I have been handed some vinyl and foamplastic to make a booster cushion for my newest grandson's highchair. Now I have finally figured how zips are incorporated in these cushions, and I feel knowledgeable enough to proceed with confidence. A back, and two sized seats to fit an antique highchair.
Excellent video! I've made cushion covers many times and always struggled with the corners... now I know why....😊
I'm just starting to make covers for cushions from my grandparent's furniture. Last time I made them like a pillowcase and sewed them on. After watching your video I'm trying a box cushion. You make it look so easy.
A few years ago I made 6 cushions with ties for the kitchen. Now, I am going to reupholster my dining room set which has both seat and back cushions. You video gave me tips that will make this next project easier and more time efficient. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Great to hear that Leah Scherer . Please find us on FB or our G+ Upholstery and Sewing community and share pictures of your project. Kim
I have been needing my sofa recovered for a couple of years but found it was not affordable. I have loved sewing for many years and decided to take it on myself with the help of videos. Your video was most helpful esp how to snip each corner for the pivot. I would have never thought of that. Thanks.
Excellent camera angles. I was able to see everything so clearly. Starting my project today. Minus the cording. Thank you
Nicely done Kim! Looks great!
Kim, your videos are fantastic! I'm following from London as a novice upholsterer and feel like I learn a lot by watching you! Thank you!
Kim I really DO like this video and will be watching it over and over today while I *attempt* to make covers for a sofa my husband built. I've sewn many things but never upholstery so your tips are exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!!!
Tammy Hanley Thanks so much Tammy. Hope you will share pics when you have finished. You can share them on our Kim's Upholstery FB page. I love seeing everyones projects they have done using our videos. Thanks for watching,
Kim
Thank you Kim, this will help me sew new cushions for my Murphy chair.
These videos are fantastic!!!!! Thanks so much for providing these invaluable instructions.
Absolutely brilliant, you make it look so simple, really makes me believe I could do this. Thank you Mary
Beautiful! I like how you show each step, best tutorial ever!
Thank you! I promised a friend I would cover her cushions. I am an experienced seamstress but I've never done a cushion cover with cording before. This saved me time and noodling around. Great tutorial!
Thanks Callsandsurfgirl. Glad you enjoyed the video. Please subscribe to our channel and have a great day.
Kim
Wonderful tips. I am getting ready to slipcover my couch. I would consider myself to be an advanced sewer, but watching your videos will simplify a few things for me.
I loved this video, a very straight forward advanced sewing tutorial. Finally someone who can teach me how to make quality covers! So impressed, I thought the video was perfect!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you
+Josh Davis Thanks Josh. Do you have a cushion project you are working on? Kim
I love the way you joined the piping, it looks so neat you can hardly notice the join. Also your videos are so clear & easy to follow. thanks
Thanks for the steps with the zipper/box strip application. This was new to me and will certainly use it.
This is wonderful! And thanks I was in a search of how to. Hubby has just finished a new room in our house and made 2 wooden bench. I was in need of 2 cushion covers. Now I know. I can say it is the best tutorial.
Wow...great job! You have thought me some new techniques...especially in the 'joing of cording'...love it!...you're the best.
Me too!
Kim,
You are incredible. Thank you for inspiring me to get serious about sewing. Happy New Year!
You are extremely talented. You make sewing look soooo easy. I am starting myself, had a haaaard time doing some pillow covers but I pulled through!! hope one day I could do something like this! ;)
Girl, you are good! That turned out great.
I loved your video it helped clear up some steps i was doing wrong thank you so much i feel much more confident now.
Kim,
Your video was a godsend for me. I am re-upholstering an old couch and came acroos your video for making a cushion cover. Thank you for this video. The cushions came out great!
Thanks for your comment. Please share pictures when you finish. Kim
I watched the video on making boxed cushion with piping. That will really help me recover my porch furniture. Thank you so much!
Kim, I was looking for something completely different, however I personally found your video very informative and well done. I stayed and watched the whole thing even though I know I'll never do this. Don't let negative comments get in the way of your fine job.
My Summary:
KIM THIS IS THE BEST TUTORIAL EVER. LOVE IT TO LIFE!!!
Thank you you for answering my questions quickly great to watch u guys
Really great workmanship, loved it, keep up your awesome work :)
Thank you for your video. I have been wanting to start sewing classes. When i finally decided to look for classes in my area the pandemic hit. Your videos help so much. Thank you! ☺️
could watch your videos for hours!!! You make it look SO easy!!!
Thanks Kathy Donder . If you watch our videos for hours it will be easy for you too! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Kim
Such a great video. So glad you included cording in your demo! And thanks fo fast-forwarding thru the redundent parts. I am recovering my first chair and just got to the cushion part. This will be such a help!
Sheryl, I am glad this helped you with your project. We also do Live Events Upholstering and slipcovering every Wednesday at 12:30 eastern time here and on our facebook page. Check it out.
Thank you, thank you. I couldn’t dream of trying to sew a slipcover without you. With a brain injury I have overly challenged myself in this ongoing attempt to slipcover our wing chairs. Oh my! Your step by step guidance has given me confidence that this is possible (though with countless mistakes along the way). You make it look so easy that daily I come back, trying once again and am slowly getting there.
Again, 🙏
Brilliant video. So clear and to the point. So easy to follow. A delight to watch and follow. Thank you.
I'm a novice, making new cushion covers for my sailboat, and I found this to be quite informative Kim. Thank you!!!
Beautiful work
I have repeatedly watched this video and love it. I am amazed how easy you make it look....I hope I have the same luck. I especially like how you mark the edge of the boxing to show exact location of the corner and I love how you join ends of the piping. I used to teach sewing, however, I have never made a slip cover for my couch and that is why I am so interested in watching your videos. Thank you!
+Connie Sproch Thanks for watching. If it is possible for you, please join us on Blab Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 8am EST. You can ask your questions live and get a live response. You may even have fun. Look for blab.im/kimsupholstery.
I will have to watch this more than once but I made my cording and had pinned it to my sewn together edges before I saw your video. You saved me hours of ripping out. Thank you. I was given a beautiful old chair with ugly yellow Jacobean slipcover. I have more confidence now.
Kim, this is probably the best detailed video I've seen! As a novice, I have been struggling with how to align my top piece of fabric so it matches corners nicely. You showed me the way and I thank you very much.
Jenny Vithoulkas Thanks so much. If you are on facebook I would love for you to share your project on our Kim's Upholstery FB page.
Thanks for watching, Kim
I love your video it helped me a lot . I now feel confident to take on the project. Thank you so much for posting this video.
Awesome. You are the best teacher of excellence. Thanks a million Kim.
thanks, love the sound of the double time sewing
Thanks so much! I especially loved the joining the cording part. It makes so much sense and I never knew it. I also loved the clipping corners 1/2" before end to make a nice turn. I've always been a feel it kind of sewer - with mainly consistent results. But your tips will really fine tune my work. cheers!
Thank you Ivonne. Glad you liked it. Kim
This is a great tutorial. A friend of mine asked if I'd make a cushion for her window seat. I wasn't sure how I was going to turn the corners. Now I know! Thank you so much!
Your videos are so well done and above all, your instruction is so easy to follow. Thank you so much for your time and trouble in doing these videos.
Thank you. Very clear instructions and a beautiful cover. I've watched quite a bunch of youtube upholstery videos to learn enough to reupholster my RV and your video was the best. I'm subscribing to your show to learn how to make my RV look it's best.
Kim, I have not reupholstered anything for year. In my past I have done two couches and numerous cushions. I have a wonderful wicker chair that I have been afraid to approach for a year. Your viedo has given me the confidence to go ahead and take the cushion on.. Thank you do much,
Anne McKinney
Yipee.... Hope you enjoy it. Please feel free to share your project pics on our FB and googe+ page.
Thanks, Kim
