Diy Easy 1 piece boxed cushion cover tutorial

- This video is a step by step tutorial for making a boxed cushion cover. The covers can be easily removed for washing. I will show you how to measure to make a snug fitting cover with only one piece of fabric.
This isn’t a “no-sew” or a Velcro project. This is the real deal with a zipper!
Don’t be intimidated! Even if you’ve never sewn a zipper before you can do it! It’s really not that difficult. Follow every step and you’ll soon have an updated cushion. I made 6 for our vintage truck camper and we love them!
Here’s the math in case you didn’t catch it in the video.
Length plus depth plus 1 inch for seam allowance.
Width plus width plus depth plus depth plus 1 inch for seam allowance.
That will give you your final size to cut. Hope that makes sense!
Be careful if you have a directional fabric. Always prewash your fabric. Measure twice cut once. And if possible make a sample or trial to practice the first time! #seatcovers #sewing #diy

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!
Agreed. Superb tutorial! Don't you wish we would have seen this about zillion cushions ago?
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!
I watched your home video trick tutorial to refresh my memory thank you tutorial video really helps
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 ..
I agree, I’ve also been sewing for nearly 60 years and you did an excellent job. Perfect pace, very clear and concise.
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.
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!!!
Ppbhhh
I agree, you can watch many how to videos, but this one just made super sense.
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.
Don't you double the length as well?
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!
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!
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'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!
Awesome. I’m so glad you found the video helpful!
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'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.
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!
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!!!
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❤
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🥰
Just wanna say THANK YOU for this tutorial!!
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!
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.
I bought a futon couch for extra sleep space for guests. It's long and the legs are so short you feel like you're getting up off the floor every time you stand up. I decided to give it height by adding a 4" cushion. Got the foam, got the fabric, watched this video and now I have a cute futon cushion that "raises" my futon seat to a more normal height. Thanks for an easy to follow tutorial.
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 🙏🏼
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 best tutorial video ever!! Thank you!
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!
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!🌺
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.
Wow thank you so much for the sweet comment! I’m glad it was helpful!
@@StehHiesher
You are a great teacher!!!
EXCEPTIONAL tutorial. I could have cried with gratitude at the caring explanation of the maths particularly. Thank you x ❤
You're very welcome!
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!
You’re welcome! I’m so glad it helped you! Thank you for watching.
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!! 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!
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.♥
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 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!
Awesome! I’m glad it helped. Thank you for the kind comment.
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.
You made a dreaded job so easy also I like that you did not complicate, my first time covering cushions for my caravan.👍👏🙂
Your simplicity and patience won. Styrofoam boxed in synthetic leather as boat seats. Thank you. Brilliant
Great job! I’m so glad it was helpful!
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.
I’m so glad it worked well for you!
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.
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!
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 👍
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
Fantastic directions finished my first cushion, it fits!!! Yea 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!

Hi

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 🥰

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 !👍👍👍
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ! ! ! ! this is by far the simplest, THE BEST demonstration of a box cushion.. big THUMBS UP from Perth Australia.
You’re welcome! So glad it helped!!
This is the easiest tutorial I have seen for cutting and sewing and even adding a zipper…. Thank you so much
Great job, as a noob, I feel confident after your tutorial!
I've never used a sewing machine but just got one delivered today and need to make camper van cushion covers. Your tutorial is great! Hope mine come out like these.
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! 💜
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.
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.
The easiest tutorial I have seen! Thank you!
I absolutely loved this video and simple instructions. Made 8 cushion covers, exactly the way it was shown, and they fit perfectly. Thank you!
Thank you for this straightforward tutorial. My cushion cover came out perfectly.
for your simplified explanation ... A+ ...i just finished making one with patterned fabric and i couldn't be more proud,...THANKS!!
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
That absolutely is the easiest box pillowcase tutorial I have ever seen. Can't wait to try it! Thank you!
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!
Thank you so much for explaining so well straight to the point
I copied your cushion covers and they came out brilliant thank you so much 😍
It's my first time making cushion covers for a client all thanks to your video am making money 😁💕💕💕
That’s awesome! Great job! 👏 👏
You are a great teacher!!!
Making it easy to understand & you are very encouraging!
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😀
Absolutely the best tutorial video to make a box cushion cover. Very easy to follow, great teacher, great visuals and verbal instructions. I can not say enough. Just awesome. Thank very, very much.
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.
I was impressed and my goal is use her tutorial to cover my sofa pillow
Fantastic tutorial, by far the most straight forward way to make zipped box cushion covers, thank you
You are a genius. Thank you so much for posting this.
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, thank you for sharing your how to make a boxed cushion cover. This was my first time attempting to make a cushion. It came out perfect!!!!!!
Loved the way you explain it in terms that anyone can follow. You're an inspiration!
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!!
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!
You are so welcome! I am so glad you found it useful!
@@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!
Your method is great. Because you cut the rectangles after you sew both sides, I could change it a little, so the stripes on the cushion matched. I also learned that it is not a problem if the measurements are a little bit smaller. The result was great, so thank you so much for this tutorial. I could not have done it without it! THANK YOU!
You’re so welcome. Glad it worked well for you!
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.
love the one piece construction rather than cutting separate pieces for the sides, top and bottom edges. Can't wait to try it to recover the cushions in my RV.
The best tutorial I’ve seen an it’s the one I always go back to. Awesome teacher. Thank you ☺️
I made the first cushion cover for my boat by following your tutorial step by step and it worked! Thanks for the careful explanations and the math!
Wonderful! I’m so glad it worked well! Keep up the good work!
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!
Thank you for this! Just reupholstered a loveseat I bought. Without this video I would’ve been so lost.
So glad it helped!! I have some patio cushions I need to do now!
Thanks. I made my cushions last week. Really pleased with them.
So glad you explained this with beginners and non experts in mind.
I'm ready to try mine.
Your video is fantastic. Very easy to understand. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Great tutorial. Came out perfect and very simple. Thank you
Brilliant way to cover cushions. Thank you.
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!
@@StehHiesher ty
The best box cushions cover video. Thank you so much. My first try. Wonderful.
You explained this all so clearly. Now I'm not as nervous recovering my porch swing. thank you so very much!!
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!
Thank you for making this tutorial. After watching a couple of times I have managed to make 11 new covers for my outdoor furniture. Your instructions are so clear and easy to follow!
Fabulous tutorial thankyou so much! I bought lovely comfy deep foam and made 6 unique and colourful box cushion covers for my outdoor setting
Thank you! Just made a cushion following your instructions. Worked like a charm!
Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial! I used this to recover three cheap patio furniture cushions. I used Velcro instead of zippers.
Very well explained. Thank you 🙃
GREAT JOB!!! Thank you for the confidence. I need to do about 20 patio cushion covers, yikes!!
You can do it!
very nice and short.also math on paper is veryyyyy good to undrestand your art.thanks lot
Great tutorial.....I watched this last night and today made a great cushion cover for our camper van following step by step. Thank you soooo much!
Absolutely brilliant presentation ❤️👏🏼
Great Tutorial.... for ease of putting the cover on the cushion, I put my cushion in a large plastic bag, the cover slides right on!! You can then take the bag off the cushion once the cover is on.
My wife was absolutely delighted with your tutorial. Extremely professional results. Would recommend anyone doing it this way. Very easy to follow. Thank you.
Thanks so much! I’m so glad it worked well for her!
I've watched nearly a dozen videos on redoing cushions. The videos are intimidating to say the least! Your video hands down was the best explained and the easiest. I'm excited to start my cushions! Thank you so much!
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!
