- Peg attaches the bottom of the Little Striped Cushion in the conclusion of this series. See the finished prototype and learn the skills for making this home decor staple with professional results.
The best instructional video on box cushion covers that I have seen. You have answered all of my questions.
Thank you, Christine! It's been a long time since I made that tutorial and, with the exception of a few "tweaks" I still make boxed cushions that way. I happy to hear that your questions have been answered, but just in case, please know I am here for you. Sincerely, Peg
These videos on making a boxed cushion are great! You've edited out the unnecessary parts and kept in the real "meat" of each step, clearly showing and describing the details as you go. Clear and concise -- perfect. Thanks and I Iook forward to watching your other videos, Peg.
Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I watched your videos over and over again until I learned the techniques for sewing a box cushion. I made covers for two matching mid-century modern chairs and people are amazed when they visit that I did them myself. If I took a class to learn what you taught me, I would pay big bucks. I wish I could send you a picture of the chairs, but just know that I am forever grateful to you!
I have watched all 10 in this series. They are exactly what I wanted and you absolutely nailed it. Presentation was super-clear. Fantastic work.
A very thorough, well explained series of tutorials, without frills, or over-play. Perfect. Thanks.
+Sue Lawson Hello, Sue, Thank you very much for your kind comment! If this series has inspired you to make your own cushions, I'd love to hear more about it. You can write and send photos to my email address: littlebug903@yahoo. com. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Peg
These 10 videos I watched on the Little Striped Cushion was so informative for me. I will be watching them many times over before I attempt to make covers for the cushions on our sofa and loveseat for our boat. Thanks and excellent videoing!
Thank you so much, Peg, I really do appreciate your step by step approach to teaching these sewing skills. I have recently learned piping on a pillow cover, but this will be a whole new skill I look forward to trying.
That was the best cushion cover instruction on youtube! I love your instruction! You ARE the most experienced seamstress in my mind.
Dear Ms. Moss, Thank you for writing! I am happy to hear that my little tutorial was helpful. If it inspired you to try your own cushion project, I'd love to hear about it! You can share details and photos at my email address: littlebug903@yahoo.com. I look forward to hearing from you! Happy Sewing, Peg. www.littlebugslipcovers.com
Peg Baker I will for sure! I have made them in the past, but not perfect ones lol!
What a fabulous tutorial Peg! Your instructions great. I am in the process of covering all of my outdoor patio furniture - loving the results. Thanks so much - you rock!
Mandy
I too must display my gratitude for these tutorials!! Just finished my first of many, and decided I have the wrong material, so can't wait to do it again!
Hi Peg. Just to say this is a wonderful vidoe. I have watched all 10 episodes. I am pleased to say I have also made 2 box cushions following your very clear instructions. I am very pleased with my makes, not perfect but practice etc!! Oh, this is my first attempt, and I am in my 80th year. Many thanks. Jan.
Dear Jan, Thank you so much for writing! I'm happy to hear that my little videos have played a small role in your success. If you'd like to share more details and perhaps photos of your new cushions, please write to me at littlebug903@yahoo.com. I'd love to hear from you again, Peg www.littlebugslipcovers.com
Dear Peg, I just completed my first cushion for a bay window seat! The shape was odd which added a little stress plus I've never sewn a zipper in my life. A custom seat cushion was very expensive so I tackled the project myself and wanted it to look professional! Your video tutorial helped me through this project. It's not perfect, but no glaring errors. I believe others will be very impressed (I wish I could add a photo to show you). I could not have done it without your videos. Thanks, Alison
Dear Alison, Thanks so much for sharing your experience with me. Congratulations on your accomplishments; I'm happy to hear I played a small role in your success. I'd love to see photos! You can write to me with details and photos at littlebug903@yahoo.com. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Peg

Hello. Just wanted to say thankyou for this series. Such clear and precise directions. Really is helpful. Tips on snipping and cutting are excellent. Thanks.
Thank you for the BEST tutorial! Perfect instruction, great lighting and camera work. I have 8 cushions to make and thanks to you they will have both piping and zipper.
Dear Victoria, Thank you so much for writing. I am glad my little video has inspired you to try your own cushion project.

Wonderful Peg! I have never done more than play with my mom's old Singer when I was a kid. With courage born of insanity, I'm going to try and do some cushion covers for my Hawaiian rattan sofa. I ordered the cutting mat, rolling cutter, pressor feet and, yes even a new sewing machine. It is so helpful for your videos to be made into segments, so you can "bite off" a section at a time. Today I cut fabric. Wish me luck!
Kevin Curry Kevin, at this point I have already learned of your success. I look forward to receiving more success stories from you! Sincerely, Peg
I am a hobbyist woodworker and wanted to make a cushion for a bench/chest. Your videos and instructions for the Little Striped Cushion were perfect. For this novice sewer, they were complete, precise and concise. My project was far from perfect but satisfactorily filled my needs. Thank you. Hank V.
hankerings Hello, Hank, Thank you so much for writing; your kind comments are greatly appreciated! I'm happy that my little tutorial played a part in your project. If you'd like to share photos of your bench and cushion, please send them to my email address: littlebug903@yahoo.com. I'm looking forward to hearing more! Sincerely, Peg
Thank you for such a detailed explanation of this process! I'm an armature sewer, and I'd like to reupholster a sofa.... One day, I've been practicing my sewing skills by making basic throw pillows.
I plan to reference your video again one day once I am prepared to take on that project.
Thanks again!!!!
+P Mills Thank you for writing; your kind comments are sincerely appreciated! You have a big goal there, but it sounds like you are ready to take the steps to achieve it. Please keep me posted on your progress. If you have questions about a sewing project, you can write to me at my email address: littlebug903@yahoo.com. Sincerely, Peg
PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT!!!!
I want to redo a porch set that was passed down to me with hideous covers. I went to a fancy fabric store to ask them how much it would cost to have these made and the price nearly knocked me off my feet (WELL over the cost of the set if I bought it new). I am a fairly decent seamstress, just not a very experienced one. THIS I KNOW I can do. WONDERFUL!!!! I'll end up making a NUMBER of sets to take me through the seasons and different styles of decorating. Oh, thank you! I can't TELL you how happy this has made me!!
Peg thank you so much for making these videos. I have never covered the cushions before and your videos really helped a beginner like me. I actually had fun doing this project. Again thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
Dear Kris, Thank you for writing! I am happy to hear that my little cushion tutorial was helpful. It sounds like you were successful in constructing your own covers. I'd love to hear more about your experience. You can share details and photos at my email address: littlebug903@yahoo.com. I look forward to hearing from you! Happy Sewing, Peg. www.littlebugslipcovers.com
Peg, thank you for such a detailed explanation of the box cushion. I have already done my the cushions on my love-seat and getting ready to finish the cushion on my couch! They look great!!!!

Hello! Thank you for your comments on the cushion tutorial. It's good to hear you're getting back into sewing again. Let me know if you have any questions in the future; I'd be happy to answer whatever I can.
By the way, I watched the drum session on your site; are you in that group? What a delight to hear, and to see the diversity in that circle! I look forward to seeing more.
Sincerely, Peg
Good job - very clear and instructive with just the right commentary and good video. Thanks !!!
+Bryan Hoffmann Thanks to you, Bryan, for your kind words. If my little tutorial has inspired you to make your own cushion, I'd love to hear about it. You can write to me and send photos to my email address: littlebug903@yahoo.com. Thanks again, Peg
Thank you for a great video. It was very helpful in every aspect of covering box cushions. I had great success in my project because your explanation and steps were so thought out, and explained so well.
+John Bedeker Hello, John, Thank you so much for writing; your kind words are deeply appreciated! I'm glad my little tutorial has played a part in your success; if you'd like to share details and photos of your project, please write to my email address littlebug903@yahoo.com. I look forward to hearing from you. Happy New Year, Peg
Dear Peg, Thank you so much for very clear instructions, easily followed and not rushed. I really appreciated the different segments of the construction which meant I could find easily the part I wanted to recheck my work. I must get into your web page and see what else I can make. My one tiny point is that at the end before adding the top cover you omitted to mention to open the zip before sewing in place!! Maybe you did but I didn't see it. My cushion is very chic. I had a bit more trouble as my cushion was for a chair with a rounded back, so I pretty much had to guess what to do, it"s not very professional but OK for me. Thanks again from a very wet morning in South West France. Pat
+Patricia Aldous Dear Pat, Thank you so much for writing! I really appreciate your mentioning the omission in the final segment of that tutorial. I do miss things from time to time so it's important that my viewers keep me on my toes! I'll address this point as soon as possible. I'd love to hear more about your cushion. You can send details and photos to my email address: littlebug903@yahoo.com. Here's to life and creativity in your beautiful part of the world! Peg
This was a great video tutorial, and you are an amazing instructor. I was able to follow your guidance and confidently complete a box cushion for a mini restoration project for two chairs on my porch. Thank you so much!!!!
***** Dear Samantha, I am so happy to hear that my little video played a small part in your success! Congratulations! If you'd like to share photos of your chair cushions, please send files to my email address: littlebug903@yahoo.com. I'd love to hear from you! Peg
Excellent tutorial...even though it was posted some time ago it is all still very relevant. It's got me sewing again and can't wait to try this. Thank you for the inspiration as well as the clear tutorials x
Hello, John, thank you so much for writing. I'm glad my little tutorials have inspired you to start sewing again. You're right in noting that the series is old. I have hoped to update and add to my channel some updated versions to include some of the technics I have acquired in the meantime. However, the Little Striped Cushion basics still apply in cushion assembly today. Please stay in touch with your progress. If you have any questions along the way, know that I am here for you. Sincerely, Peg. www.littlebugslipcovers.com
ty for the set of great instructions for the box cover. BTW I like that you showed it in stripes, as I too like stripes for outdoor covers and pillows.

Love this video.....it's very easy to follow and you make it so clear...hope to see more of your videos...thank you for sharring your talents
Thank you Peg for all the great tutorials. I am hoping to take what you've taught and cover 5" cushions that are 68" long! for my vintage camper that has been renovated. I'm sure to return many times here. Btw, this is my first time doing piping or a boxed cushion. Thanks again for the wonderful tutorials!
SassyNewYorker Thanks to YOU, Sassy, for writing! You're taking on a mighty big project for your first attempt at piping boxed cushions but it sounds like you are definitely up for it! Please know I am here for you if you need advice or just some words of encouragement. You can write to me at littlebug903@yahoo.com; your questions, comments and photos are welcomed. Please be sure to put something about "cushions" in your subject line. I look forward to hearing from you! Sincerely, Peg
Yes, I have taken on a huge project. I will send you a completed pic when finished. I also learned about double sided basting tape and am going to use that for the piping so I don't have double seams. Have you ever used it and what do you think of it? Thank you again and Happy Sewing! :)
SassyNewYorker I must say I've not tried using basting tape for piping. Have you seen my One-step piping tutorial?
Peg Baker Yes I have. I'm just not sure I can pull that one off without seeing double stitching when finished. I'm slowly building confidence with your help but I'm just not there yet. :)
Thank you so much for the very clear instructions! I've always wondered what the "tricks" are for dealing with those tricky corners with piping. No longer intimidated! :)
Thank you so much for writing. I hope my little video has inspired you to try your own piping project. Please stay in touch and share your experiences. You can write to my email address with details and photos: littlebug903@yahoo.com. I'd love to hear from you! Sincerely, Peg. www.littlebugslipcovers.com
This demo has been so clear. I am going to use this technique to make a dog bed. Thanks you.

Thanks Peg! I just bought a 2012 ParkLiner camper trailer slightly used and didnt like the colour of the cushions... now I can customize it to my style!
I am so thankful for this tutorial! I was able to make a cushion for a chair I reupholstered! thank you thank you!
Dear Julia, I'm so glad to hear my little video was helpful to you! If you'd like to share a photo or two of your new cushion, please write to me at littlebug903@yahoo.com. Sincerely, Peg
Very..very nice you enplaned step by step, Even I came make a cushion cover now.Thanks you are a good teacher.
Wonderful tutorial!! Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to post this!
Peg, I am attempting to construct a custom motorcycle seat cover out of leather. These videos are going to help get that project done and I feel confident that it will come out looking sharp. The seat is odd shaped, not square or rectangle, but the techniques you show in the videos here should apply, since the bottom of the boxing is stretched over the bottom of the metal seat pan, I will only need to do the pipping strip, cushion top, and boxing. Will post pics/vid to my blog to share. Thanks.
Thank you! This has been a very helpful set of videos. I've been wanting to try upholstery and you've given me the confidence to do that =D
Very nicely explained and demonstrated ,.Thank you immensely. God bless you.
God bless you, too, Ramlogan. My best wishes for a very Merry Christmas. Peg
Peg Baker, j'ai tellement envie d'apprendre ce que vous faites, je vous remercie encore une fois et bravo.

Thanks so much, Pamela. I plan to be posting again soon; it's been a very busy sewing season! Let me know if you have a particular technique you like to see demonstrated.
Bravo!!! (Or, I guess, Brava??) Now I have the confidence to start my cushions project! Thanks so much!

Thanks v. much for your helpful videos. Clear and straightforward. Good job!
Thanks Peg, that was a great demonstration!
Hi Elena, Thanks so much for your kind comment! Peg
Hi Peg, thank you for the tutorial, they have inspired me to have a go and making a boxed cushions for the outside furniture but I am having real trouble matching the corners when attaching the boxing, ie when I put the top onto the the front with the boxing attached. I have been doing a lot of the unpick stick, hope you can help. I have played Little Striped Cushion - Conclusion (10) over and over again. Thank you for the UK
Dear Pam, Thank you so much for writing. I'm happy that my tutorial inspired you to try your own boxed cushions. That series is quite old and I haven't posted updates in a long time. In the past several years, I've developed some improved methods relating to this issue you are having but have not gotten around to recording it. Now I'm retired and in my 70's and my situation makes recording new tutorials a little tricky. However, I am very happy to help you. Please write to me at littlebug903@yahoo.com. We can schedule some time to discuss this further, perhaps by zoom or Skype. Let me know what's best for you. Sincerely, Peg
Thanks a lot Peg, really good explanations the video shows all that needs to be seen, great!
+Beatriz Valverde Thanks to you, Beatriz, for writing! If you are working on your own cushion project, I'd love to hear about it. Please feel free to write and/or send photos to my email address: littlebug903@yahoo.com. Sincerely, Peg
Hi, and thanks so much for your kind comment! I hope the series has inspired you to create some beautiful cushions yourself. Please keep me posted on your progress. Sincerely, Peg
Hi Peg I just finish my box cushion , it came out amazing !!! Thank you so much , I'm going to email a pic so you can see it !!!! I do have one request if you can maybe do a tutorial on how to do a bed skirt or a box bed skirt ... Please :)
Hi, Letty, Your kind comments are sincerely appreciated! I'd love to hear about your next cushion project; keep me posted if you can. Peg
Amazing! Thank you once again. This is addicting.
Thanks so much for this step by step video, that clearly shows everything I need to do and how to do it. I need to redo some porch cushions, because I can not find the correct size to just be able to buy them. I will be trying to make my pattern from the cushion that is on there now. Maybe you have a video of that,(I hope). I just found and subscribed to your videos. Thanks so much for doing this , so as to help others learn this trade. They don't teach things like this in school here where I live anymore, you have to pay for a class.
Dear Cynthia, Thank you so much for your kind email. I'm glad my little videos have inspired you to try your hand at your own boxed cushions. I don't have a video on how to make a pattern because there are several ways to proceed based on the type of cushion insert you have. In the video series, I determined the measurements based on the size of the foam. However, plush cushions need a little more consideration. Could you write to me at the email below and provide more details? I'd be very happy to guide you! Sincerely, Peg littlebug903@yahoo.com. www.littlebugslipcovers.com
@@PegBakerSlipcovers Thank you so much for responding to me. So many people on here do not respond back. I am currently working on another simple sewing project. But as soon as I am done I will be trying to attempt the cushion. I am concerned because, I am not all that good of a sewer, but am wanting to learn, so I can save money and learn. I have had 2 experiences with someone else doing reupholstery for me and did not do a very good job. I say this because my x-father in-law had his own business in upholstery, and was great at it, but unfortunately I did not take the time to learn anything much. Thanks again !
Cynthia Sterling Dear Cynthia, I’m glad you have the courage and motivation to try a more challenging project. When you’re ready, send my an email with a photo or two of the cushion you want to cover. We can make a plan of action! Sincerely, Peg littlebug903@yahoo.com
@@PegBakerSlipcovers Hi Peg, I finally finished the pillow cover, I will post before and after soon if I can figure out how to do it .I made some mistakes, but I learned from them . I won't go into all the mistakes I made, but I am happy with the outcome. Thanks again for the videos, I just had to keep watching them over and over.
@@cinderellaslifeadventures7269 Hi, Cynthia. Congratulations ! Finishing a project is a challenge and your determination paid off. I'm looking forward to seeing your photos. You can send them to my email address: littlebug903@yahoo.com. Thank you again, Peg www.littlebugslipcovers.com
Hi Claudia, Congratulations! I look forward to seeing your photos. As for bed skirts, I believe that one needs to be done. I've searched UA-cam for a good tutorial and what's out there is not complete. Send me an email with the type of bed skirt you're considering; we'll take it from there! Thanks again, Peg
Where did you get this fabric from?? I love it!!
Great and easy to follow video. Thank you!
Hi Peg, Thanks for the great video! Do you have a video for matching stripes?
Hello, James, Thanks for writing. I don't have a video for matching stripes but it would be a good one to have. I notice there are quite a few good tutorials out there; give them a try. If you're still working on a solution, let me know. Merry Christmas to you and yours! Peg
@@PegBakerSlipcovers thanks for responding. Merry Christmas to you too. I have looked around, but have not found anything well instructed like your videos. I think I'll just wing it! Thank you again!
@@styleplague In my "Little Striped Cushion" Tutorial, I show how to notch the top and bottom plates to indicate the front and back of the cushion. (Cut the top and bottom plates carefully, making the stripes and placed identically.) Once you do this, you can lay the front boxing against the plate (good sides together) and match up the stripes. Then, notch the boxing to match the plate. James, I believe accurate notching is the key to a beautifully sewn cushion or pillow. You still need to be attentive as you sew; if the stripes stray too far off, take the sewing apart and try again. Let me know if this helps. You can write to my email address with more detailed questions. I'm here for you, Peg littlebug902@yahoo.com
@@PegBakerSlipcovers that's wonderful! Thank you. I will give it my best.
@@styleplague I know you will! Please keep me posted on your progress. Peg
Your kind comments are deeply appreciated! I hope you'll feel confident enough to try a "practice" cover. You'll discover it's a lot easier than you might think!
What a great tutorial!! Thank you so much!!
thank you. I do appreciate your clear directions.

Samira Triki Your kind comment is deeply appreciated, Samira!
Hi Peg, as I mentioned, I have a Singerfeatherweight, so I don't have a zipper zag foot, I don't know if there is one that I can get to fit my machine, if you have any suggestions I would be very interested. Also I live in a small apartment so I don't have a lot of room to dedicate to just sewing, that's why I haven't purchased a newer machine that would give me the built-in sticking modes. Thank you, Maggie (Margaret )
Thank you so much, I loved the tutorial😃
Dear Josie, I'm so glad you found this tutorial helpful. I'd love to hear more about your project; if you'd like to write, please send an email to littlebug903@yahoo.com. Sincerely, Peg littlebugslipcovers.com
Hi Peg, when asking about suggestions about my Singerfeatherweight, I was going to sell it and get a Husqvarna smaller machine similar to the featherweight because I can't make any of the zip zag,or locking stiches, any thoughts, I am a bit short on money.
+Maggie Swain Hi, again. See my comments below. I forgot to mention that the foot used in the piping video is my "go to" foot for that machine. I don't use any of the extra feet I purchased! Please stay in touch and let me know what you decide. You can write and send photos of your work to my email address: littlebug903@yahoo.com. Best wishes and happy sewing! Peg
Thank you for your help.Sincerely

Thanks! - very helpful!
You are most welcomed! Peg www.littlebugslipcovers.com/
Adorei!
how much to you usually allow for the zipper to wrap around the 2 back corners?
+Linda Bridges Hi, Linda, Thank you for writing. Since I use zippers "by the yard" I have the freedom to extend the zipper around the sides to best benefit dressing the cushion insert (easy removal, too). For square cushions, at least 4 inches on both sides is good. For "L" or "T" cushions, I like 6 to 8 inches. Does this answer help? For a more detailed discussion, feel free to write to my email address: littlebug903@yahoo.com. Thanks again, Peg
Omg love it !
Hi Peg, as I mentioned, I have a Singerfeatherweight, so I don't have a zipper zag foot, I don't know if there is one that I can get to fit my machine, if you have any suggestions I would be very interested. Also I live in a small apartment so I don't have a lot of room to dedicate to just sewing, that's why I haven't purchased a newer machine that would give me the built-in sticking modes. Thank you, Maggie (Margaret )
+Maggie Swain Hi, Maggie, You mention that you don't have a "zipper zag" foot. I'm not sure but I think you want to do a zig zag stitch as well as to be able to sew in zippers. If zig zag is what you want, the Featherweight will do that stitch. However, the attachment demonstrated in this video ua-cam.com/video/fjmejTVoJ7U/v-deo.html will allow you to do a zig zag on your Featherweight. If you wish only to be able to insert zippers, you could use a universal low shank zipper foot. You can purchase it on Amazon www.amazon.com/Universal-Zipper-Foot-Low-Shank/dp/B008MKJQMI or you can purchase it at a JoAnne Fabric store. Please write to my email address to let me know if this is helpful: littlebug903@yahoo.com. Put the words "Singer Featherweight" in the subject line. Thanks for writing, Peg
