I am back here just to give my comment. After watching this video, I went to try by doing just one but it turned out to be so easy that I made 7. Wow! Thanks so much because I had watched other videos before but the maths was missing.
This is THE BEST tutorial I've seen on sewing a box cushion cover. Been sewing for decades and I think you have a gift for teaching. This is such a clear, straight forward, EXCELLENT guide!
I was so nervous cutting the fabric as I bought it overseas so it was not replaceable. I had four cushions to make and followed this video step by step for each of them. They turned out perfectly! Other videos speeding through the process only make it daunting, stressful and confusing. Thank you so much for your clear, calm and precise instructions. I am thrilled!
it's easier to sew the zipper on before sewing the corners .... it makes it easier then you turn the cover inside out and sew the corners you'll have your cover boxed in ..
Thanks for the simple tutorial. I think I can do it. Please do more tutorials. I don't need fancy instructors.kinda like giving directions.no south,East, etc. Just make a right at the Dairy queen ,go straight until you see the Speedway 😂
I've been sewing since I was 8 yrs. old. I am now 72. Oddly enough, I've never had occasion during all that time to make cushions with a box corner. I wanted to make new dining room chair cushions, but was lost when it came to making the box. I have to commend you on your easy instructions!! I made them all in about 30 minutes and they look wonderful. BTW, yours was the 4th UA-cam video I watched and the ONLY one that made sense to me and made me feel like I could do it. Thank you so much!
I'm a professional sewer .....well done omg I am impressed,, uv explained very well and made it so easy anyone could do it ,u have a soft voice and make people feel easy ...you should look into a teaching in sewing ,, I would employ u I'm in the UK... fantastic... uv got the undo zip or no turning out ,,, uv got the fabric ironing ,the pinning ,,the direction of fabric and much more an iron a sewers best friend and putting in a zip ...u have a very calming way of helping the nervous ....in my workplace I have come across so many that don't take up sewing big things like sofa covers curtains etc or sofas it's not hard like leaving to ride a bike once taught uv got it ,if it stays together uv got it ...iv been doing it all my life n now at tender age of 53 lol I teach as well as sew n I'm just surprised at how scared of learning the skill if u know what the end result is but it's a mind set n the industry needs ppl who can not only use a machine that easy but follow a pattern ..u have just explained a pattern and videoed a plan of action ... one day I might have time to video but iv learnd a different way n I'm 100 miles an hr at times a bit of heavy editing 😅 so absolutely we'll done impressive
I watched your video 3 times.... and it was so easy to follow your instructions. Your voice is so calm. You are the only person that explained box cushion covers so well. Thank you.
Like others have said, this one one of the best tutorials on this subject. You might want to consider adding “How to make” at the beginning of your title to rank higher on the SEO for better discovery. Such great info. Thank you!
I LOVE her! She explains this process so well. She takes her time and explains everything so well. I've watched so many of these box cushion how-to videos and this is the only one that sunk in. THANK YOU!!!
I have watched soooo many videos on how to make a box cushion and this is the only one that is clear and straightforward. I appreciate your time in explaining exactly how to make this cushion. I am not an expert sewer, but I have sewed for over 50 years, just simple projects. I am saving this tutorial and thankfully make the box cushions I have been needing. Thank you so much for making this video.
Oh my god!Thank you so much sister. You just saved me a couple of hundreds dollars. I need to replace my cushions and even though I have sewing machine and I really don’t know how to use it;I’ll give it a try. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you so much for explaining everything and showing it slowly. I was watching another tutorial and she had it on fast speed. I was so confused. Lol.
You are so sweet ! And you has just saved my old sofa. Last year I adopted two rescued female doggies. My Millie ( the Destroyer) chewed all the cushions on my sofa and love seat. You just taught me the easiest way to create new ones. Thanks so much! Never too old for a challenge, I am 80 yrs old. Thanks again, wishing you the very best for 2024.
You are so kind! I’m so glad the tutorial helped you. God bless you! You must be the coolest 80 year old around! Watching UA-cam and learning to make boxed cushions. You go girl!
My bench cushions turned out beautifully! You're an excellent teacher. Thank you so much for showing me the math. Knowing how to calculate and add up my dimensions gave me the confidence I needed to tackle this project. I couldn't have made my cushions without you. Thanks again.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I watched this video numerous times. Then I watched it, paused it, completed a step, watched a little more, rewound, watched again, paused until I was finished with the first cushion. I'm making covers for dog beds custom sized to fit into crates for travel. I paid $25/yard for Sunbrella fabric on clearance so it would be durable and comfortable. I did not want to mess this up. Sewing is not my favorite thing. This video was perfect. I love how you encourage us through the video. You're so calm and easygoing about the process. Wish I could show you how wonderful they turned out.
This is the best video I have seen for making fast and easy cushion covers. I stumbled upon your video while watching a complicated video from JoAnn Fabrics for making cushion covers. Your video is much easier to understand and a whole lot less work. You just saved a gliider on my deck from going to the dump.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU - you have NO idea how brilliant this video is and I am so grateful!! I thought it was going to be so easy making covers for my daughter's kitchen bench cushions and then it seemed like dying and going to hell when I started. I spent quite a long time searching for video help, everything seemed so complicated and then suddenly......... ta dah!!!! So easy to follow and the results were AMAZING. I now know how to do it properly, thank you so much for making it so clear and for realising that not all home seamstresses are natural born wizards!!!
I've watched a lot of videos on making bench cushions so I can make one for my grandson. This is BY FAR the easiest one I've seen. I started one with a different method and wound up ripping the entire thing apart... even the zipper! This also looks like it can be done in a short amount of time. I will definitely use this method and TRY TRY AGAIN!! Thanks so much!
@@StehHiesher My grandson liked the first one so much he asked me to make another one. A hint for adding straps to corners. I made matching tie straps and will place them in the boxed corners as I sew them (I think, lol). On the last one I kinda faked the straps... to hard to explain, but they turned out okay! Thanks again for such an easy to follow video!
Thank you for taking the fear out of sewing upolstry and zippers😅...started placing zippers in stitched enclosed pillows but nervous to redo cushions. I too am noy a pro, but I bought foam like over a year ago..lol... and just kept it in plastic and wouldnt touch it lol! Now im ready after watching your simple and easy to follow video. Thanks for useful tips too. No excessive talking and to the point! Happy sewing❤
THANK YOU!! Excellent video. Recovered my RV dinette cushions in one evening and am THRILLED!! Husband can't believe it. He thought it would take a long time and our trip in next week. YOU are the best!
This is a wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much. I actually recovered ALL of my outdoor cushions using your tips and tricks. You have managed to simplify a very complicated process. Well done🥰
After I murdered the first cushion (it took me 2 hours to figure out how to put on a zipper foot 🤣) it was a disaster of epic proportions. I mis measured. Once that was cut off and I regrouped, 2 cushion came out beautifully! This was the best and simplest tutorial for a novice, not even novice, sewer like myself. Thank you!!!
I had my fabric and lots of enthusiasm, but that fizzled as I watched video after video and felt more and more confused. Then I found your tutorial! Thank you so much! You explain everything so clearly, especially the math, and it was as if a switch had been turned on in my head. I made all four cushion covers in one afternoon and couldn't be happier!
I agree the math is not overwhelming. Some videos tell you to use a calculator on their system which all seemed like greek to me. I was starting to feel discouraged. I'm hoping to start this reupholstering project within the next two weeks. I'm going in with so much more confidence.
Just made a little cushion for my cousin’s daughter vanity and used your video and I want to say thank you very helpful and for teaching me something new
As others have said, great video! I just wanted to cover a bench seat similar to those that you put in your truck camper and I wanted something very easy to follow. And you fit the bill! So thanks and if you’ve had about 10 million views on this in the last week it was me! I had to read the instruction manual for my sewing machine most of the way so it took me a while but after the first cushion your method made it very easy! Thanks again!
I have just made a set of cushion covers for my camper van using your tutorial. I’d never put in a zip before, and they all turned out great! You have a talent for teaching. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Is there any way you can help me on the side part. After I sewed the zipper on and it's time to sew down the sides before doing the last 2 box corners is where I keep messing up. For some reason I sew down the side and then the zipper when I flip the cover right side out is messed up. Where the start or end of the zipper should be on the sides that's where I'm having issues. Not sure if I'm not sewing at the right spot or what I'm doing wrong. The video says sew from the zipper down the side but that's the only part of the video where it's not clearly shown where to start sewing.
@@heatherconte5445 I started sewing the side seam from directly to the side of where I'd finished sewing the zipper - so parallel to it, but around the 1/2 inch from the edge of the fabric> Make sure reverse sew that first bit. Should work - let me know if its still not clear and I'll try to explain it better. Good luck
@@abiellis-pz7ll thank you for your reply. Sorry I didnt see it sooner. I ended up trying other tutorials where the 2 side panels are sewn on seperately and that was a worse disaster so I'm going to try this Tutorial again but much smaller just to see if it works this time around. I dont know why I'm struggling so much but fingers crossed I'll get it this time around. I'll let you know if it works. Thanks again for your help.
@@abiellis-pz7ll just wanted to let you know I did it!! Thank you so much for your help! Came out great. I still have no idea what I was doing wrong on my first several attempts but at least I can now do it. My mom was laughing because when she called I was in tears and said "I dont understand how I can make bears and tons of things with different shapes but I cant make a boxed rectangle with a zipper" lol. I think I was just overthinking it
This video actually saved my sanity!!!! I went from stressing over cutting a pattern to recover 11 cushions to completely recovering them in one afternoon. Exceptional job explaining to us how to make these....THANK YOU!!!
Very helpful, thank you! I need to cover two cushions and my husband wants zippers in them so they can be washed. I've been paralyzed trying to visualize how this could be done. You have solved my problem!!
I have watched a lot of videos & I was truly overwhelmed, but your video was so easy to understand and your voice is so sweet and calm....it gives you confidence. I'm going to try and make these soon. Thank you so much!🌺
This is the best cushion tutorial Ive seen. I was honestly so overwhelmed with how people explained it til I found this video...it's really not complicated and you showed that!! Thank you!
In addition to loving the production value of this video (camera, editing, audio, music!) the presentation was so easy to follow. I am still a bit overwhelmed with all the details but like another viewer said, if I follow it step by step, maybe it will turn out just right. I also appreciate that "perfection" was not necessary. This was a joy to watch and now, wish me luck!
After trying to find someone to sew cushion covers for two older sofas that I have in a meeting space that I'm opening soon, I was ready to give up. Then I found your video! I hadn't used a sewing machine in a really long time, but because you explain everything so clearly, I was able to complete the cushion covers myself. Thank you so much!
I have been watching a few video's on how to make these box cushions and I must say I was getting overwhelmed by all the math and their instruction until I came across yours! You just made it so simple to understand and watching you made me confident that I can do this too. Thank you so so much for taking the time to share with us! I am going to get started on mine now :) Thanks again!
Me too, been searching for a tutorial and she’s the only one that teach how to measure before cutting the fabric. Thanks so much, you have made my day 🥰
You are the best. You see like I do. Your simple instructions are both easily understood and funny. You are REAL and make no excuses. Thanks for your help making my cusions for my couch
I’ve never done box cushions and followed your tutorial several times. You are very thorough and you take your time explaining directions. I surprised myself at how nice my two window box cushions turned out. Ty for your tutorial.
I was going to pay someone to make my campervan cushions until I seen this tutorial video, now I'm going to do them myself. Brilliant video you have explained it very well 👍
Hi Steh, I am so glad I found your video after watching 5 others. I have to say that you lay it out so nicely and clear so it is super easy to follow. I also like the facts that you plan the zipper around the corner so it is much easier to get the cushion in and out. lot’s of compliments to your Video person who got the whole project well into the picture so we can get the full peak of all the steps. Very well done you all! Great Team work !
I agree I loved how the videographer zoomed in on all the details, it is so much easier when you can watch up close and personal and to be able to rewind and rewind and rewind again so it sinks in! Thank you.♥
Genuinely first time user, watched so many how tops that didn’t make sense, she explained the process so well! It has taken me 3 weeks but I have completely reupholstered my entire caravan!
I have to comment again! making wheelchair cushion for my 88 yr old Daddy! Of course its not perfect, but I did a waterproof cover and a Looney Tunes cover! He's such a kid at heart! Thanks so much for your help. You've made Papa very happy!
Thank you for a great explanation. I've been sewing for 64 years and your explanation is so clear, very calm and a great confidence builder. I'll be sharing this every chance I get. Your relaxed approach, "not a perfectionist" is actually perfect for a newbie to sewing. It will keep them in the game. You are lovely. Thanks.
I am ready to cover the cushions for my deck furniture and have been watching all the tutorials. I have been struggling with how I want to insert the zippers and this tutorial is the ticket! I am fairly experienced and have made covered and zippered cushions before but it's been awhile and I needed a refresher. Your video was so straightforward and easy to understand and I am ready to crank out 8 cushions now.
Thank you so much. After watching other how to videos, I'd already given up making. my own camper van cushions. But this tutorial was excellent and one I could actually understand LOL. xx
Hey darl.. All the way from South Africa.. Just to let you know, as a seamstress.. Sometimes my brain doesn't work out the 3D and you explained the method of getting your measurements so well... I got it first time.. In fact, just to make sure I followed... I paused and played several times.. Just a massively big thank you for helping me get my yoga cushions done for my client.. Hopefully she will be syked to see the effort I put it😎💐😇👏💚 thank you again.. Be blessed.. Keep doing the good works 💐🎊👍🙏👌💞
This is by far the best video I have ever seen. After struggling to wing making a seater cover for a campervan I followed these steps and it worked perfectly, especially the bit about the zip. I can't say under state how helpful this video is. Thank you for make it, it's amazing!
Watching this a year later and this is the most helpful video I’ve found on cushion covers like this. Love that you used one piece instead of the many I saw with multiple pieces 🙏🏼
I have never ever sewn anything before and today I followed your step by step tutorial to sew a cushion and I have learnt so so much. I have sewn my first ever cushion let alone a zipper cushion. I am so chuffed. Thank you so much. Now I have four more to sew but with your tutorial I am feeling confident. Thank you so much
Thank you for slowly explaining this project. The best tutorials are the ones that explain like we're all 1st graders. I'm off to recover my patio cushions. ❤
😂😂😂LOL So funny! When I wanted to learn how to play the violin, someone mention start like you are a first grader, and buy instructional software or books on that level and learn step by step like a 1 st grader would learn. Really makes a difference and takes all the frustration out of anything you are learning . Why go through all the frustration when you can start anything from the beginning !👍👍👍
This was the most clear explanation of how to measure and cut out the corners for the box corner. First time upholsterer here, so was really anxious about wrecking expensive fabric. I made mine without zips, as I was using heavyweight fire retardant sofa style fabric, and they won't be taken off to wash, so hand sewed the last side where the zipper would be. Thank you for posting the tutorial.
Your video was so fantastic, really FANTASTIC. I have found it difficult to find people like yourself who like to tackle jobs in their home, like sewing but don’t need or want to be professional with professional equipment and technical methods because having to learn the “ technical correct way” is too time consuming for our task, as it make be a one off! Your end result was perfect and your methods were just what I was looking for. Thank you so much, you were FANTASTIC 🌸
I am a total novice plotting to redo a vintage camper. This tutorial is exactly what I had in mind and so easy to understand. I watched a few others before finding yours and I will definitely be using yours when I tackle my project. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! We have several videos on this camper remodel and some of our camping trips too! It’s always so fun to bring an old camper back to life. Good luck and have fun!
I cannot believe how nice it was to follow her instructions! I covered a crib mattress following her every move and she showed up close and clearly everything. Thank you!
Excellent video, simplistic in its explanation, concise and no fiddly bits. Well done Steh your explanation is way more superior to those of the so called "experts" which tend to be rambling in explanation and way too long. Look forward to many more home budget savvy decor videos from you.
Great video! I, like so many, have watched multiple videos on box cushion covers. Yours was by far the best - easy to understand and your calm voice and detailed instructions were a large part of way it stood out. I’m not an accomplished seamstress but by following your instructions I was able to complete 4 cushion covers without pulling out my hair. They look pretty darn good too. A big boost to my sewing confidence. Many thanks!
❤❤❤❤❤the way that it is explained and shown she makes it super easy her results for the cushions are easy to follow thank you for sharing it with all of us😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yours is the best tutorial on YT on making boxed cushion covers. You explain it so easily. I couldn't understand the others. Yours is the only one I understand. My covers came out great. Thank you!
LOVED LOVED LOVED the video. I decided to use a velcro closure in the back on the depth where the zipper would be however, and it worked perfectly. Hardest part is getting the cushion back on the form. I have had 3 zippers break on me on my patio furniture, one even melted so I wanted the velcro instead. Thank you so much for doing this. My cushions look great.
Hi, I'm a novice at sewing and have never done cushion covers before. Your tutorial was great, I followed your instructions and after 6 hrs and a lot of patience I managed to make a boat cushion cover. The next cushion took less than hour... 😆. But thank you... I now have the confidence to try to update mycaravan cushions. 😊
Me again. I just made a cushion cover for a friend,based on your video. It turned out great. The fabric she chose wasn’t that great,but it was easy enough to make,even I never made a cushion with zipper. Thank you so much 👏

@@heatherconte5445 I started sewing the side seam from directly to the side of where I'd finished sewing the zipper - so parallel to it, but around the 1/2 inch from the edge of the fabric> Make sure reverse sew that first bit. Should work - let me know if its still not clear and I'll try to explain it better. Good luck
@@abiellis-pz7ll thank you for your reply. Sorry I didnt see it sooner. I ended up trying other tutorials where the 2 side panels are sewn on seperately and that was a worse disaster so I'm going to try this Tutorial again but much smaller just to see if it works this time around. I dont know why I'm struggling so much but fingers crossed I'll get it this time around. I'll let you know if it works. Thanks again for your help.
@@abiellis-pz7ll just wanted to let you know I did it!! Thank you so much for your help! Came out great. I still have no idea what I was doing wrong on my first several attempts but at least I can now do it.
My mom was laughing because when she called I was in tears and said "I dont understand how I can make bears and tons of things with different shapes but I cant make a boxed rectangle with a zipper" lol. I think I was just overthinking it
You made a dreaded job so easy also I like that you did not complicate, my first time covering cushions for my caravan.👍👏🙂
This is the best tutorial video ever!! Thank you!
This video actually saved my sanity!!!! I went from stressing over cutting a pattern to recover 11 cushions to completely recovering them in one afternoon. Exceptional job explaining to us how to make these....THANK YOU!!!
That’s awesome!
Very helpful, thank you! I need to cover two cushions and my husband wants zippers in them so they can be washed. I've been paralyzed trying to visualize how this could be done. You have solved my problem!!
I have watched a lot of videos & I was truly overwhelmed, but your video was so easy to understand and your voice is so sweet and calm....it gives you confidence.
I'm going to try and make these soon. Thank you so much!🌺
Really enjoyed your tutorial, you have explained it well. Thank you
This is the best cushion tutorial Ive seen. I was honestly so overwhelmed with how people explained it til I found this video...it's really not complicated and you showed that!! Thank you!
This is a very good tutorial. I badly needed one and am going to make my cushion cover. Thank you.
In addition to loving the production value of this video (camera, editing, audio, music!) the presentation was so easy to follow. I am still a bit overwhelmed with all the details but like another viewer said, if I follow it step by step, maybe it will turn out just right. I also appreciate that "perfection" was not necessary. This was a joy to watch and now, wish me luck!
Thank you and good luck! I’m sure you’ll do well!
After trying to find someone to sew cushion covers for two older sofas that I have in a meeting space that I'm opening soon, I was ready to give up. Then I found your video! I hadn't used a sewing machine in a really long time, but because you explain everything so clearly, I was able to complete the cushion covers myself. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for taking the extra time to walk us beginners through step by step. I’m anxious to try it.
This is the easiest tutorial I have seen for cutting and sewing and even adding a zipper…. Thank you so much
I have been watching a few video's on how to make these box cushions and I must say I was getting overwhelmed by all the math and their instruction until I came across yours! You just made it so simple to understand and watching you made me confident that I can do this too. Thank you so so much for taking the time to share with us! I am going to get started on mine now :) Thanks again!

You are the best. You see like I do. Your simple instructions are both easily understood and funny. You are REAL and make no excuses.
Thanks for your help making my cusions for my couch
I’ve never done box cushions and followed your tutorial several times. You are very thorough and you take your time explaining directions. I surprised myself at how nice my two window box cushions turned out. Ty for your tutorial.
You’re welcome! Good job!

I was going to pay someone to make my campervan cushions until I seen this tutorial video, now I'm going to do them myself. Brilliant video you have explained it very well 👍
Hi Steh, I am so glad I found your video after watching 5 others. I have to say that you lay it out so nicely and clear so it is super easy to follow. I also like the facts that you plan the zipper around the corner so it is much easier to get the cushion in and out. lot’s of compliments to your Video person who got the whole project well into the picture so we can get the full peak of all the steps. Very well done you all! Great Team work !
Awesome! Thank you! We’re so glad this weather helpful for you!
I agree I loved how the videographer zoomed in on all the details, it is so much easier when you can watch up close and personal and to be able to rewind and rewind and rewind again so it sinks in! Thank you.♥
Thanks so much,I am a disabled person from Trinidad in the Caribbean and never had success until I watched your video!
That is so awesome! You rock!
Genuinely first time user, watched so many how tops that didn’t make sense, she explained the process so well! It has taken me 3 weeks but I have completely reupholstered my entire caravan!
Awesome. Good job!
@@StehHiesher I wish I knew how to upload a picture of the before and after!
I have to comment again! making wheelchair cushion for my 88 yr old Daddy! Of course its not perfect, but I did a waterproof cover and a Looney Tunes cover! He's such a kid at heart! Thanks so much for your help. You've made Papa very happy!
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing! You’re a good daughter!
GREAT JOB!!! Thank you for the confidence. I need to do about 20 patio cushion covers, yikes!!
You can do it!
Thank you for a great explanation. I've been sewing for 64 years and your explanation is so clear, very calm and a great confidence builder. I'll be sharing this every chance I get. Your relaxed approach, "not a perfectionist" is actually perfect for a newbie to sewing. It will keep them in the game. You are lovely. Thanks.
I am ready to cover the cushions for my deck furniture and have been watching all the tutorials. I have been struggling with how I want to insert the zippers and this tutorial is the ticket! I am fairly experienced and have made covered and zippered cushions before but it's been awhile and I needed a refresher. Your video was so straightforward and easy to understand and I am ready to crank out 8 cushions now.
Awesome! So glad the video helped!
Brilliant way to cover cushions. Thank you.
Thank you so much. After watching other how to videos, I'd already given up making. my own camper van cushions. But this tutorial was excellent and one I could actually understand LOL. xx
Excellent! Good job and I’m glad this video was helpful!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Made new cushions for my bench in my trailer, I couldn't have done it without you.
Glad I could help! Congrats! It always feels so good to make something yourself!
Hey darl.. All the way from South Africa.. Just to let you know, as a seamstress.. Sometimes my brain doesn't work out the 3D and you explained the method of getting your measurements so well... I got it first time.. In fact, just to make sure I followed... I paused and played several times.. Just a massively big thank you for helping me get my yoga cushions done for my client.. Hopefully she will be syked to see the effort I put it😎💐😇👏💚 thank you again.. Be blessed.. Keep doing the good works 💐🎊👍🙏👌💞
Thank you!
for your simplified explanation ... A+ ...i just finished making one with patterned fabric and i couldn't be more proud,...THANKS!!
I can’t believe I did my patio cushion all by myself! You gave very good instructions!!! Thanks so much, your video was so helpful!!
This is by far the best video I have ever seen. After struggling to wing making a seater cover for a campervan I followed these steps and it worked perfectly, especially the bit about the zip. I can't say under state how helpful this video is. Thank you for make it, it's amazing!
Awesome! Thank you! I’m so glad it worked well for you. Great job on your cushion!
Very simply put, this tutorial video makes the project you're approaching much easier to understand, and do! Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful! 😊
You explained it so well. You talk at a very steady pace which I appreciate. I think your tutorial is the one I am going to follow for my cushions.
Watching this a year later and this is the most helpful video I’ve found on cushion covers like this. Love that you used one piece instead of the many I saw with multiple pieces 🙏🏼
I have never ever sewn anything before and today I followed your step by step tutorial to sew a cushion and I have learnt so so much. I have sewn my first ever cushion let alone a zipper cushion. I am so chuffed. Thank you so much. Now I have four more to sew but with your tutorial I am feeling confident. Thank you so much
Thank you for slowly explaining this project. The best tutorials are the ones that explain like we're all 1st graders. I'm off to recover my patio cushions. ❤
😂😂😂LOL So funny! When I wanted to learn how to play the violin, someone mention start like you are a first grader, and buy instructional software or books on that level and learn step by step like a 1 st grader would learn. Really makes a difference and takes all the frustration out of anything you are learning . Why go through all the frustration when you can start anything from the beginning !👍👍👍
This was the most clear explanation of how to measure and cut out the corners for the box corner. First time upholsterer here, so was really anxious about wrecking expensive fabric. I made mine without zips, as I was using heavyweight fire retardant sofa style fabric, and they won't be taken off to wash, so hand sewed the last side where the zipper would be. Thank you for posting the tutorial.
Your video was so fantastic, really FANTASTIC. I have found it difficult to find people like yourself who like to tackle jobs in their home, like sewing but don’t need or want to be professional with professional equipment and technical methods because having to learn the “ technical correct way” is too time consuming for our task, as it make be a one off! Your end result was perfect and your methods were just what I was looking for. Thank you so much, you were FANTASTIC 🌸
Aww thank you so much for the sweet comment. It means a lot!
It's my first time making cushion covers for a client all thanks to your video am making money 😁💕💕💕
That’s awesome! Great job! 👏 👏
I am a total novice plotting to redo a vintage camper. This tutorial is exactly what I had in mind and so easy to understand. I watched a few others before finding yours and I will definitely be using yours when I tackle my project. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! We have several videos on this camper remodel and some of our camping trips too! It’s always so fun to bring an old camper back to life. Good luck and have fun!
Best tutorial ! I almost gave up even wanting to try till I found yours. Can't wait to get started now.
You can do it! Have fun!
I cannot believe how nice it was to follow her instructions! I covered a crib mattress following her every move and she showed up close and clearly everything. Thank you!
Stef
I love it when you say "hey, hey, hey". Says it all
Haha! That’s funny.
That absolutely is the easiest box pillowcase tutorial I have ever seen. Can't wait to try it! Thank you!
Really good clear video..thank you for doing very simple math calculation....👍🏾 Now to begin 🌞
I absolutely loved this video and simple instructions. Made 8 cushion covers, exactly the way it was shown, and they fit perfectly. Thank you!
Wow. So well explained. Thank you!
Excellent video, simplistic in its explanation, concise and no fiddly bits. Well done Steh your explanation is way more superior to those of the so called "experts" which tend to be rambling in explanation and way too long. Look forward to many more home budget savvy decor videos from you.
After watching I feel confident I could make my cushion. Thanks so much. Thank goodness I found your version of how to cover
a boxed cushion😀
This is the best video I've seen for beginners like myself. You played a huge role in the completion of my set...
Awesome! I’m so glad my video was helpful!
Thank you Steh, it was easy to follow your maths and your instructions.
After watching several videos, this one is the most straight forward and easiest. Thanks for posting!
Outstanding tutorial. At the first attempt, I was able to make it work 99%
Great video! I, like so many, have watched multiple videos on box cushion covers. Yours was by far the best - easy to understand and your calm voice and detailed instructions were a large part of way it stood out. I’m not an accomplished seamstress but by following your instructions I was able to complete 4 cushion covers without pulling out my hair. They look pretty darn good too. A big boost to my sewing confidence. Many thanks!

❤❤❤❤❤the way that it is explained and shown she makes it super easy her results for the cushions are easy to follow thank you for sharing it with all of us😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome! I’m glad you found it easy to follow!
Yours is the best tutorial on YT on making boxed cushion covers. You explain it so easily. I couldn't understand the others. Yours is the only one I understand. My covers came out great. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
LOVED LOVED LOVED the video. I decided to use a velcro closure in the back on the depth where the zipper would be however, and it worked perfectly. Hardest part is getting the cushion back on the form. I have had 3 zippers break on me on my patio furniture, one even melted so I wanted the velcro instead. Thank you so much for doing this. My cushions look great.
Hi, I'm a novice at sewing and have never done cushion covers before. Your tutorial was great, I followed your instructions and after 6 hrs and a lot of patience I managed to make a boat cushion cover. The next cushion took less than hour... 😆. But thank you...
I now have the confidence to try to update mycaravan cushions. 😊
Excellent! Nice job.
Thanks! You’re a great teacher. I followed your tutorial twice; both times my covers turned out perfectly!
Thank you so very much! I’m so glad the tutorial helped you! 💜
She doing good in explaining and demonstrate step by step. I have being watching many videos. She is the best!
Thank you for this straightforward tutorial. My cushion cover came out perfectly.
Me again. I just made a cushion cover for a friend,based on your video. It turned out great. The fabric she chose wasn’t that great,but it was easy enough to make,even I never made a cushion with zipper.
Thank you so much 👏
Awesome! Great to hear. I’m glad the video helped!
