Please check out my playlists. My NEW cushion video has NO music. Lol. I wish I could remove the music from this one! (if you know how....tell me!)
Thank you! Happy Camping
This woman is amazing. Just called the upholstery shop, they wanted $800.00 for 4 - 40" rv cushions. I didn't even want cording on the edges. I respect the trade but, absolutely not. I can sew a bit so this was perfect. Thank you Stephanie. I appreciate the teachers of the world and people like you willing to take the time to do this.

Oh my gosh! Thank you Candace! I’m so happy it helped you. I’ve done three campers and I did all my cushions this way. Happy camping!! 🩵🩵🩵
PS I just did a little tour of my camper in my latest video…you might enjoy it. Hugs.
Thank you for this video. I’m an old Carpenter /house rehab guy working on restoring a vintage iron furniture set and,believe it or not, It is impossible to find someone to make a slipcover other than very expensive upholstery shop. So, I decided to do it myself and your video was exactly what I needed. You have a great sense of working in three dimensional space (like a carpenter or architect) And made the whole process perfectly clear. It is kinda amusing how similar upholstery is to finish carpentry in many ways. I may take up sewing as a hobby in bad weather.

Thank you so much!!! I see it as a puzzle…so that’s similar to what you said. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Steph… you gave me the confidence to have a go and I’ve just finished my test cover in some old fabric and ordered 10 metres of new fabric to cover the foam cushions in my camper van… followed all your steps. Lovely clear explanation. Regards Glenn
Thanks for the video Stephanie!
Let me share what has worked very well for me for FREE!, much of which I've learned from my brother who is a professional upholster, with making a new bench or van bench seat or boosting old car seat foam:
For car seats that need boosting, most often they just need more foam added to be like new again, I find used carpet pad foam often in a neighbor's trash or dumpster behind a carpet store. Remove the car seat fabric clips and carefully peel the front and sides of the fabric to gain access under the seat foam core, which often requires the seat be unbolted from the floor.
Place a sheet of it or two under the seat foam core, right on top of the spring wire deck(carpet pad foam is tougher than the core so this also stops the spring wire deck from cutting into the seat foam core bottom).
Your second sheet can be cut smaller just covering the area the butt sits on.
Also inspect the top of the foam core and add carpet pad foam or regular foam where might be needed like by the door, worn from getting in and out over the years.
Spray adhesive can be used to bond the foam to the foam but is not necessary except for any top foam added.
Your seats will be firm and new like for many years now, it's like free magic!
The seat back usually doesn't need a any foam because it's the seat that gets the body weight on it from gravity. If you seat back should need a boost, you can add polyfill batting on top of the foam for free-see below.
These methods can also be used on sofa seat cushions.
I'll share below where to find FREE used good foam below!
To make a bench- where to get free foam: there is so much FREE foam and FREE polyfill - in many soft pillow backs and polyfill batting often wrapped around foam cushions for the taken in people's discarded sofa's and chairs found outside dumpsters at apartment complexes and the back of thrift stores.
Even though it's used, it has been well protected covered inside the upholstery.
Of course in the event it's a cat lady's furniture and the cats happened to piss all over it, you'll smell it and know to move on lol
Most apartments don't allow pets or make it expensive to have a pet so a lot of furniture is pet free.
Use a box cutter to open the old furniture to get at the free foam or poly as you need or use the zipper you'll find on some pieces.
Some foam in old sofas contain like a 1" thick panel of foam on top of other foam that is perfect thickness to add to your sofa foam to give it the new boost again.
Foam can be cut to size using a hack saw loose blade only in your hand holding the end making a sawing motion.
New foam looses some of it's firmness over a break in period, say after 5 years depending on how much it's sat on.
But then the broken in foam lasts a very very long time at that softer level firmness before it really starts to break down.
You might be able to buy complete new expensive foam cushion cores but they will sag after the break in period as well.
This is why so often we love a new firm piece of furniture but then it gets soft and saggy on us.
Now the sofa companies could to put super firm more expensive foam in their sofa's when new that might be a perfect firmness for us when broken after the 5 years break in period, but then we wouldn't buy the sofa if it's not nice to sit on from the beginning in the show room, so there's the dilemma when you fabric is still in great shape after 5 years but the foam is now sagging.
The free fix:
So just add more foam if you can firms it up to make it like new again, unzip and compress the foam as you slowly peel off your fabric from the cushion core. Then either add more foam to the top or bottom or hack blade saw through the center horizontal line of the foam core all the way from the back to almost through the front but not through, so you leave a good hinge of foam in the front.
Then place about a 1" thick of used foam in the sandwich and holding it closed peel the fabric back over the foam cushion.
You can also add more polyfill pad to the cushion core on it's outside to add more softness and support but adding more foam is the big boost.
Spray adhesive is optional to bond the foam to the foam.
People often think that when the seat sags that the springs under the cushions, have weakened but no, it's the foam, the springs are metal and strong, the foam is just foam.
Discarded trash at a dumpster is free for the taking and your reducing what goes to our planet's landfill.
This is win win, real free hard core recycling, helping to save our environment as well!
Take care!
Perfect!!! I am SO happy to have found this tutorial. I am a mediocre seemstress and have not sewn in many years. I searched so many videos before deciding to follow this technique. Very simple and they look great! I did choose to put a Velcro closure on the bottom so they can be removed and washed. Thank you so much!!!
Lisa
That is awesome! I'm so glad it helped. Hugs, Stephanie 💙💙💙
Thank you so much for this video!! It gave me the boost of confidence I needed to finish my box cushions in my pop-up camper. I have been really struggling with the wood in my cushions and was trying to velcro the bottom of my back (table) cushions. I am now going to handsew the bottoms as you did.
Good luck Cynthia! And happy camping!
Great video THANK YOU! I get on you tube to learn to do SO many things! Your a very good teacher! Negative Nancy’s take a hike!
If you can’t say something nice don’t say it at all! Thanks for the quick and easy ! Just the way I like to do things like this!
Jrose14
Thank you so much for this comment! You and I would get along great!!! I’m working on a new trailer and I had to watch my own video to remember how to do this, lol. I don’t have the same problem with the music. So, I guess it only happens for some people. I’m glad it helped. I wish I could see everyone’s cushions, wouldn’t that be fun?! Hugs, Stephanie 💙💙💙
Great job! Lovely fabric!
Thank you!
I just did this! First time sewing in 30 years and it turned out great! We bought a vintage camper, too!! And people need to get over the music!
I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you for an awesome tutorial! I followed it for the dinette cushions in my popup and they turned out perfectly. They are literally my most proud moment of my whole remodel lol. I closed the bottoms with velcro.
Yay!!! I'm so happy to hear that! I would love to see a photo of your remodel. Thank you so much! Hugs, Stephanie
Thank you thank you. I've been stressing about how to tender my RV cushions. That is so simple and looks beautiful.
Recover sorry not "tender"
Great job! I recovered mine and made curtains for my camper.
This was an RV dinette cushion makeover tutorial...not a music volume tutorial. I very much appreciated your light hearted approach to this project as these projects can be a bit undaunting (evidently not a word, but using it anyway). Looking forward to #2! Thank you!
Lorraine Ebke Bless your heart! It’s one of the first videos I made and I wish I had not added music. When I got my latest trailer, I followed my own tutorial to recover the cushions. Lol. Thank you so much for your comment. Hugs, Stephanie 💙
Stephanie Farrell Focus Just so you know, within the past two years since we’ve purchased our first travel trailer, I’ve viewed many, many tutorials, I found yours this morning and so glad I did because that was the best one! I am a very seasoned sore, but very apprehensive about tackling something like this. Our back cushions have a indentation down the middle of it across the back so I would just make a slip cover to come down past the indentation. Your method has inspired me. I want to go the French Country look, can’t wait till I find that perfect fabric happy camping and happy sew!🤗
Seasoned “sewer “ My husband, however, I would say seasoned sore
Lorraine Ebke That sounds so awesome! I would love to see photos! Keep me posted. I’m on Facebook, Stephaniefarrell123
I would love to see how they turned out. 😊
We got a 1976 Bonair Pop up last fall and started restoring it. My winter project was to redo the seat cushions but I got nervous as I haven't sew in over 15 years and it was mostly clothes. But after watching this video I feel confident I can get this project done.
Hi Missy, you got this!! It’s gonna look so so great!!
I’d love to see pics!
🥰🥰🥰
I know this was done several years ago, but it was SO HELPFUL to me! I haven't sewn in at least a decade but want to cover our new (to us) camper cushions without using a board and staples. This felt very doable! Thank you for explaining everything so well. Can't wait to check out what your camper remodel looks like overall!
Very good video. I learned a lot from you. Thank you!
Please don’t delete this video because of the music and comments about it.
I do wish all video makers would just omit music altogether. It isn’t necessary at all. Period.
Thank you again for a very helpful video.
Someone on one of the RV forums I am a member of just redid her cushions by following your video. So, your video is helping people get the courage to take on the job. :-)
Thank you so much! Oh boy, if only I could get that darn music off. I leaned my lesson on that one! I really appreciate your comment. Hugs!! 💙💙💙
I'm all for easy and simple. Really great instruction video. I like the assurance and confidence building. Ready to give it a shot!
Hey! I would put a Velcro strip along the bottom of the cushion for easy removal for laundering! Just a suggestion 😃👍🏻
Dawn Cordero
Great idea! 😍
Dawn Cordero I did the same sewed it like a pillow case then Used the Velcro strip on the end ..Folded it on one end like a gift package and Sealed it with the Velcro..Made it so the Velcro closure goes against the wall and is not seen or disturbed..
This is perfect and exactly what I was looking for!! I do know how to sew, but I don't want to waste a lot of time. I don't have the board in my camper cushions and they are in good shape with vinyl bottoms so I would like to just wash and keep the original covers on and just make a slip like cover that I can remove and wash. If I leave 3/4 to an inch jut out on that side seam then I can just sew in some velcro there and they will easily be removable to wash! Thank you so much for this excellent easy breezy idea!! 😍🙌
Hi Shelley, that sounds awesome!! And they will look great! I’m just about to recover the cushions on my latest camper. So so fun!!
Happy camping!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@FarrellFocus 💖
THANK YOU!! I never thought I'd be able to make cushion covers and now thanks to you I just finished them. Your video and ideas are so appreciated. You made it seem so simple and it actually was 😀 I can't wait to use the pop up trailer this weekend with new curtains and new patterns and colors on the cushions. I wished you had a video of how you made the valances. Thank you....thank you....thank you
Yay!!! I'm so excited for you!! I would love to see pics! For my valances, I reused the plastic strip of sliders that were on the original valances, I just started with a seam ripper and pulled apart. Super easy. Just tear them apart. Then sew them on your new ones. I ran out of the sliders and had to order online. I used the instructions found on the Pop Up Princess. www.thepopupprincess.com/ It depends on what kind of trailer you have. Mine is a Rockwood, so I had the plastic strip. I ordered extra on amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002UC4S7M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They are pricey....so that is why I reused the old strips. Good Luck!!
Thanks for the clear and simple to follow video. I jave just re covered 4 caravan cushions based on this video as we refurbish an old van (new to us!). Great results! Thanx
I just found you and I realize this is an older video but I'm about to start working on our travel trailer. I need all the help and ideas I can get. I'm happy you filmed this.
Howling Fun RV Adventures
Thank you! You are going to have so much fun!
We got a new hybrid this year and I’ll be posting more makeover videos over the coming months. So stay tuned!
I’d love to see your camper too!
Happy camping! Stephanie
I’m planning on filming some of the better things, not boring maintenance but redo. We are going to buy new this year before we go full time but I enjoy doing things like this and crafting so while I can, I’m going to go for it
Howling Fun RV Adventures
Yay! I just subbed! Are you on Instagram?
@@FarrellFocus Thank you so much, I look forward to your comments on upcoming videos. Yes I do have Instagram @ howlingfunrv.adventure
My dad just got a trailer and I am having trouble with it and I am designing it so I have to do this this is so help full thanks.
Wow not bad at all.❤❤❤
nice video but I wear glasses also, you could show a closeup of the first inch of hand sewing , thanks again for this video , I have a lot of cushions to do
Hi Warren, I have a newer version of this same project and the close up of hand sewing is at 21 minutes or so in to the video.

Hope that helps.
And I was about to purchase new rv seat cushions..lol time to dust off the singer😅👍🏿 nice video.
Thank you! Good luck!!
FINALLY A TUTORIAL I CAN FOLLOW! Love it! Will definitely be using this method to redo my couch! Keep up the great work!
Awesome!! Thanks for watching!
Looks like the only tutorial I am going to be able to follow. I have a lot of problems following instructions. Thank you for doing this video.
Thank you for this easy tutorial! I recovered the dinette cushions in our RV and love them. My first time recovering and I have very little sewing experience, but thanks to your tutorial they look better than I imagined they could ever look.

Hi Tonya, I’m so glad that your cushions turned out!
Happy camping!
Hugs, Stephanie 💜💜💜💜
I’d love to see pics!
I love how you did this. In the process of remodeling a camper we are just getting.
Oh my gosh...you will have so much fun! We did. Enjoy!!
This is perfect! Thank you!!
"When in doubt, make a bigger knot." LOVE IT !
This is the second time I’m commenting-only 5 years later!
I had forgotten that your tutorial was the very one that taught me the simplicity of making a box cushion.
I did exactly what you did, except in the corners, I did something different. Now here I am, getting a used pop up this time, just reviewing your forgotten video! Pop ups come with many cushions and I wanted to do vinyl on the bottom (because of two dogs) and a colorful fabric on top. Thanks for the great and realistic review! I’ll subscribe this time! 😉
Finally I found just what I was looking for, tailored and easy. Thank you.
Enjoy!! 😊
I watched 10 different videos about covering camper cushions and yours is by far the best! Thank you for the easy to follow instructions and well made video. I am going to get started on mine right now!
Michelle Martin
You got this! I’m so excited for you! I just finished new cushions for my new-to-me hybrid trailer and they turned out great. I’ve posted some pics...of them on Facebook or Instagram, you can see them there. Happy camping!!!💙
Come on, this is not the best sewing please! lol but is sure is the easiest. She does not even show the sewing part. as a beginner, I want to see it all. but I think her technique is easier then others if you want it to be a quick project. the corners will never look as good as the proper technique.
Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial! I'm in the process of recovering my camper dinette cushions and followed your instructions step-by-step. Two down two to go and they're turning out AWESOME! I don't enjoy sewing but you make it tolerable with great results. Keep up the good work!
Yay! That makes me so happy! We are starting our 3rd season and the cushions are holding up great! Happy Camping!! Stephanie
Love your work Stephanie.
Don’t worry about the comments, we all here to learn.
Many thanks from down under!

Thank you soooooo much!
Thank you Stephanie for your tutorial. I watched some of the other professional videos and I was so confused. I just wanted something easy and fast and I'm so glad I came across yours. I'm working on it now and it looks great. I am a sewer so closing it up won't be a problem. Thank you again. Bette Cudeck
Hi Elizabeth, thank you thats awesome! Enjoy!!
Love the simple approach to the corners.If you are concerned the tread tail will pull through there is a easy fix.double knot the tail then stitch inside of right panel then into the outside of left panel. Send the needle then between the two threads above the tail knot.Draw it tight then from inside of left to outside of right for all fallowing stitches.Thread tail knot can never pull through.
guido70 Oh my gosh, yes, I do worry it will pull out. I’m going to do this. It’s crazy the cool things we can learn every day! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love the way you covered those cushions! Brilliant! I just finished a similar project and it was extremely difficult. If I had seen your video first, I would have saved a lot of time! Thanks so much for sharing!
Hi DeAnna, Those difficult projects that make you want to pull your hair out....UGH! I've been there hundreds of times. I would love to see your project! Take Care, Stephanie
I love your tutorial - you really help show how to fold those corners nicely. Just an idea for the bottom - instead of needle and thread, you can sew a long strip of velcro - it would make it a bit easier than by hand, plus no messing with a zipper.
luvabargain70
Thank you! That's a great idea. 😍
Thank you so much! I’m ready to go now! Great description and video.
Thank you for the tutorial! I am struggling with my first caravan to get the seats recovered and this method looks like something I can attempt.
You can do it!!! Changing the fabric makes all the difference! It doesn't have to be perfect. Enjoy!!!
Thank you! I completed one small seat cushion at the weekend. The bottom isn't the neatest but the top and sides are neat. On to the bigger ones!
Wow, this project went from intimidating to completely do-able. Thanks for making it easy!
Thanks Stephanie. Your enthusiasm is so infectious & your tips and instruction is fabulously helpful.
Well done for your first video, very informative. Thank you. 👍😉🇮🇪🍀
Thank you for the video. My popup has fabric that I want to change and you are the catalyst that will get me do to it. Well done!
Thank you! And, good luck on your project!
I just did my first one thank you all the help!
Thank you so much for the video. I want to make new covers for my camper and now I know how! Very informative. Hard to believe this was your first sewing video.
Thank you so much!! Yes, this video could be improved vastly. But, it still gets the info out...hopefully! I hope you enjoy your cushion covers as much as we enjoy ours!! Thanks for watching!
A suggestion is that you sew Velcro in place of a zipper closure so that you can remove the covers and launder them if needed. Love the video . . .thanks!
sunrisenparadise
That's a great idea! 😊
Great idea.
We just bought a pop up. You have inspired me to bust out my sewing machine I haven’t used in 15 years and try to do this. 😊
OMG you’re awesome! Thank you so much for this video, your method is perfect for a DIY application on an RV. Onward, I got this! 💪
thank you for such a great video - straightforward and easy! I have watched at least a dozen others and was just overwhelmed. Then I watched yours and thought 'I can do that!' Thank you!!!!! :) from South Australia xxx
Hi Jane, yes! You can do it. How fun!! Good luck and feel free to ask me anything. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lovely best one yet might give it a try
We just bought a popup camper and I'm redoing the inside as well!! Watching this cushion cover tutorial just made my life so much easier! I can't thank you enough! It looks so simple!
Stephanie Christian
I'm so happy that it helped . Mine are holding up great. I'd love to see yours when you're finished. 💙💙💙
Great video, i always over think these things so this is nice and simple. Don’t know if anyone else suggested this, but putting your thread through beeswax makes it not knot, lol, and using a curved upholstery needle to sew up your bottom seam may be easier.
i love it, exactly the option I was looking for, thanks for posting!
Can I just say how amazing you are! You explained yourself with such definition and without overdoing it and you were straight to the point and back again. I appreciate you. I am hitting subscribe now
Hi Alissa, thank you so much!! I’m sure that you are going to enjoy your cushions so much!
🥰
Thanks I think do it just got 69 Shasta dyi
😊 thank you, I will give it a try.
👍🏻
I just made mine following this tutorial. Thank you for sharing!
That makes me so happy!! Happy camping!
Thank you, Stephanie! I cannot wait to update our cushions in our Pop Up Camper. I enjoyed your video, loud music and all! :)
Susan Mulroy Thank you so much!! Bless your heart. That darn music! 😊
Thank u. I am restoring a camper and i was feeling overwhelmed after watching your video i think i will be able to do it😊💕
Veronhamtea You got this! And it’s so worth it! Good luck. I’d love to see your results.
I 💟 this video! we are helping my son redo his pop up camper, I found you through The Pop Up Princess site! I bought a sewing machine (never have sewn or never took home-ec)! Your video is perfect for us newbies! I can't wait to see your other videos!
Yay!! you are going to have so much fun with this project! Enjoy!
Brilliant, thanks a lot for the two videos! I think that's one of the best and easiest solution to create a cover case which I've seen so far. However I will put a velcro in to make it easy removable. Again thanks and greetings from Switzerland 😊
Hello Switzerland!! Thanks for watching. Yes, many people are opting for velcro. Great idea! Thanks for watching. Hugs, Stephanie
Thank you So much! I just did mine tonight after watching this, you saved me so much time!
LuxHomesMN
Yay!!! That is so exciting! Happy camping! 💜
Oh, wow! Thank you so much for sharing this. I wish I had seen it before I did all my bottom seat cushions following the advice of an employee at the fabric store. I have been too intimidated after those to tackle the back cushions. Now I can finish this project my husband keeps bugging me about. Thanks for making an intimidating project much simpler!
K Shockley
I can’t tel you how happy that makes me! Your cushions will turn out great! Let me know. 😊
Hugs, Stephanie 🌸
Thank you!! Just what I needed!
We just purchased our first pop up camper and I was so excited to find your channel!! I'll have 4 cushions in the dinette to recover and 6 in the U shaped sofa. I can't wait to get started and I'll be doing videos as I remodel too. Great job on the cushions!!
Christi RH
Yahoo!! That is so exciting! You guys are going to have so much fun. Just thinking about it makes me want to go camping. Good luck. I’d love to see pictures of your camper when you’re done. Are you on Facebook? There are a bunch of popup groups with lots of sharing, ideas and all kinds of things. If you find me, I can point out my favorites.
Facebook.com/stephaniefarrell123
Happy Camping!
Thank you - I found this really helpful.
Great video. I am recovering my cushions tomorrow. This is just what I was looking for. Thank you!!
Your 1st sewing video; I was totally absorbed and I don't sew but I have a pop up with cushions. So you must be very good.
curtzblues
Hi there! Thanks for watching. It’s been over a year since I covered them and many camping trips. They are holding up beautifully!! Good luck with your pop up! 💙💙💙
Thanks Stephanie, followed your videos in reupholstering our motorhome The Lovely RITA. Very good easy to follow instructions and demonstration.😀
our Lovely RITA
Thank you!! Remodeling is so fun!! I want to do it again. I would love to see pics of the lovely Rita! 💙💙💙
Stephanie Farrell Focus , thanks for your interest, we bought an old motorhome (RV to you) and have completely renovated the interior, using your brilliant guidance, you have a very good way of explaining yourself, Mal my partner ( the seamstress in our relationship) kept watching again and again on each step, there is a 3 minute UA-cam video of the finished product .....lovely RITA 20 yr old hymer makeover/ refurb sorry but I'm terrible at adding links
our Lovely RITA
I love love love it! You guys did a great job. Makes me want one!!
Stephanie that music needs to be a lot lower if your going to use it, it's louder than you are lol, I keep turning it down, I wouldn't be worried about a little puckering at the back no one will see it anyway, you gave some good tips and it come out real nicely
Linda Jensen
I know. It’s awful! I wish I could change it, fix it, but I can’t. Lol. I didn’t know how to do things back then when I made this video. 😕 thanks for watching!
She's not loud naturally so you have to turn the volume up to hear her then you're not prepared for the music ripping your head off!!
Also her video is cute but you dont really show a close up so people know exactly where to sew the corners! You say "I'm placing pins here then sewing here" but we cannot SEE ANYTHING because no zoom. My suggestion, get a spouse, friend, sister, etc to hold the camera so you can zoom in to show precise way to show for people who have never really sewn before. Otherwise it was a nice tutorial. Thank you.
thank you, I am attempting to re-do our cushions and I hope they come out as good as yours, thanks again your tutorial is very helpful
RuaWaterwalker
How fun! We loved remodeling our pop up. It’s been three years and lots of trips and these cushions look just as good as the day I covered them!! I hope it goes great for you. Thank you!
Happy camping! 🌲🏕⛰⛺️
KUDOS, great tutorial! The only problem is that I shared the video with my daughter. Now I am on the hook to help her makeover her Econ Trailer.
Eileen Stickney LOL!! That is funny! It sounds like a fun project to work on together. ❤️
I just finished my "new" cushions. Thank you for the easy to follow video!
I would love to see your cushions!!
Wow. You rock. And you are so cute as you were going through explaining it all. Thank you.
Thank you so much. We are going to take our first trip of 2018 in a week! My cushions have held up great so far. I think I would do them the same if I was starting now. Hope it helped you in some way. Take care, stephanie 💙
Great Teacher!! Love this video. I was afraid to redo RV cushions..but I am ready to do it now!!!
Kat Noceti Hi Kat, thank you so much! I’m not a teacher..lol...I’m flying by the seat of my pants here. But, I do love how my cushions came out. We have camped a lot and they still look as good as the day I did them. Good luck! 💜💜💜
Goodness how many more people going to tell you about the music! Great video very helpful.
Bless your heart! Thank you!
Hugs, Stephanie ❤️
Nice job! I used basically the same method for recovering the cushions in 2 RVs now. I left my opening in the back though, and did not have a board in any of the cushions I did, so was able to make the opening smaller.. I added velcro to the openings so I could remove the covers to wash if needed. We travel with 2 dogs and 2 cats who love to be on the furniture. Off to watch your other videos! Thanks!
Great idea! We have dogs that we travel with, we've been lucky so far, the cushions are holding up great. Going on our 3rd season. Thanks for watching! Hugs, Stephanie
Great video thank for a well explained process
Joy Scott
Hi Joy, I’m so happy it helped you. Happy camping! 😍
Maybe, before starting, spray the old fabric with a fabric refresher spray (Febreeze), and let it dry overnight.
And, if the cushion is 'sprung' or lumpy, you can open an end of the old cover, and add filler stuffing. Then sew closed.
That is a great idea!!! I hope everyone reads it before they start their project. :)
You are a genius lady. Thanks so much for this!
Aziza A
Thank you so much! I'm glad it helped. 😍
Easy instructions...you’re awesome! Thank you so much. This has been a saving grace for me!😊🌺👍🏻
Hi Aurea, Thank you so much! I am so happy that it helped you!
Hope you are having a great day! Take Care, Stephanie
Fantastic! Love it.
What a great video. I made my son cushions for his gazebo and they took so long because I boxed the cushions added zippers...... I think I was a little mad! . I wish I had seen your video first. I have been asked to make my friend cushions for her indoor table, this time I’m making them using your method. Thank you it’s really is very easy to follow and hopefully ‘do’.
I'm pretty sure, if I were to make them again, I would change a thing. I love the way they look and we are going on our third year of camping and they are holding up great!
Thanks for watching! Hugs, Stephanie
Thank you! Needing to make cushion covers for our new-to-us Casita and this is PERFECT. Love your assurance that it’s easy (it is!) and all the details. :)
Carol Etgen
Yes! I’m redoing another trailer right now, and I’m going to do the cushions the same. I’ll probably have to watch my own video, lol. They held up well and I just loved the way they turned out. This time I also have a little sofa to cover. 😊
Your selection of fabric is really pretty.
Dorothy Graybill
🌷🌷Thank You!🌷🌷
Thank you for the tutorial! We are redoing an old caravan in the Netherlands. This is very helpful.
Florine Dance
Hi Florine, I’m so happy if my video was helpful. I’d love to see your caravan! I’m so happy to hear from the Netherlands. I visited your beautiful country when I was a teenager. Thanks for watching.
Hugs, Stephanie 💙💙
Stephanie, THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this video! Saved me so much headache 😉🤗

You are TOO CUTE! Great video. Found you by way of random search since we just purchased our first pup camper yesterday and are starting a much needed make over. Thank you for the help!
You guys are going to have so much fun!! Happy Camping!!
Hey, seven years later. Still have that camper?? Very good video!
Actually I do still have it. My kids borrow it. I’ve done two more trailers since then. So much fun!!
I love our choice in fabric

The Mr. Rogers for sewing. I love it.
Thx so much for taking the time to put this video out...I have a trailer that's off grid and I want to redo the cushens same as yours and I don that've power...I'm just going to do the job by hand...would of never thought of it had I not seen your video!
cathy roncetti I'm so glad that helped. It's not that hard, and it gets easier and faster as you go. If your going to hand sew the whole thing, get some of those finger protectors, they probably have them at Joann's. And, sometimes I use pliers to pull my needle through the thick parts. Good luck and I would love to see your cushions when your done! 😍
Great instruction,,, you've saved me a good bit of money.. I'm building a campervan... Thanks
Yay! That makes me happy!
Happy Camping!!! Stephanie
