C'est ma première expérience sur une machine à coudre. J'ai réussi à fabriquer mes 4 coussins pour mon véhicule récréatif. Je suis très fier du résultat. Merci pour cette vidéo.
Follow this video step for step and it is SO easy and great. We reupholstered our couch cushions in 3 hours and have never tried anything like this. Super satisfying. Thank you for the video! (note: If you dont like the zipper thought, just do a envelope opening. Its fast, easy and works perfectly)
I used this tutorial to make a new chair seat pad and footstool cushion for a used platform rocker we found at a second-hand store. Very easy to follow. Excellent results! He is right when he says that inserting the foam pad into the finished cushion is like "wrestling an alligator." So for each pad, I first made a cushion liner out of lightweight synthetic fabric and covered the foam pads before inserting them into the exterior upholstery fabric cushion covers. The permanent underlining will also make it easier to remove the chair pad and footstool cushion for cleaning, if necessary.
I looked through many videos for making cushions and this one stood out above all the rest. I've never done any kind of upholstering before and barely know how to use the sewing machine I borrowed (thanks to many additional Singer UA-cam videos), but by carefully following these step-by-step instructions I was able to create a set of custom-sized cushions for a camper van conversion. I found it very helpful to sketch out all the dimensions for the tops and bottoms in advance to make sure my measurements were lining up as I went. I ended up using these measurements to cut out the foam and the fabric instead of using the cut foam to measure out the fabric. I also used the same fabric for the top and bottom and velcro for the back closure instead of expensive zippers. I'm so tickled with the results and love how many people are asking where I learned to do this. Thank you!
I just used this tutorial to make cushions for my cat window perches. It was so easy and they look great! I have sewing experience so I was able to follow easily along and start to finish took 5 hours for 3 covers 😍
Great tutorial and exactly what I needed. I am making cushion covers for my neighbor and I wasn't sure how to do it with boxed corners. This is perfect and so simple to do. Thank you!!!
I’ve watched this video for what seems like the 100th time! I’m recovering interior cabin boat cushions using the existing bottom plate with the zipper already in place. So, with my iPad next to the sewing machine, this video on pause at each step and a quick prayer....it turned out perfectly! One down, three more to go! Your videos are so helpful for a rookie seamstress and I send my heartfelt thanks!
I've watched so many youtube videos about many of my hobbies. This video is one of the best most straight forward step-by-step videos I think I've ever seen. You aren't spending 20 minutes talking about what your dog did today or how you like this basting tape because (fill in the blank for another 20 minutes), etc. Thank you! Thank you.
EXCELLENT video; loved the walking foot sewing machine & magnetic edge guide. I am a quilt maker & seamstress with over 50 years of sewing experience; great job to sewer & narrator, video graphics & technique! Recommend never using rotary cutter to cut towards yourself. Also, there's a resting place on top of rotary cutter handle for your index finger, for more balanced pressure while cutting; just a suggestion! Please include rotary cutter safety instructions that state why blade is always closed or covered after each cut, when putting cutter down. You DID show best reason why you place ruler on cushion fabric & not on waste fabric...excellent tip & demo. Thanks much!!!
This video is awesome. I bought the underlining and double sided tape (a miraculous invention!) and I finished my 2 cushions in record time. Had to laugh at myself as I was wrestling the alligator-great analogy. The cushions are perfect! Thanks for a great video.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I foolishly agreed to cover cushions for a relative's RV, and I realized right away that I was over my head! I was also concerned that I wouldn't have enough fabric (faux leather), and your method of using something different for the back is PERFECT. It will save me so much fabric! I'm still not 100% comfortable about this massive project, but I definitely feel much better! Thank you again!
I'm jumping for joy! With relatively little sewing skill, I just finished covering the first cushion for our RV per your excellent step-by-step video. The result is very professional looking. I am so pleased with the products I ordered from your website. Your cushion underlining material and the basting tape, used in the video, are awesome products. The price is fair and delivery rapid. Thank you, Sailrite!
I followed along to make 6” deep cushions for outdoor chairs...thank you for making it so easy! I do not sew often at all I my cushions turned out great!
What a great tutorial!! I'm an experienced sewer and still loved this...you have it all laid out for me!! I can just follow and do ..instead of working out all the steps/dimensions. THANK YOU for filming this.
I've just bought an old Mitsubishi industrial sewing machine and can't wait to make these cushions and other Sailrite projects. Your videos are very good quality and easy to understand.
I was looking for a video like this! Every window in my home has a wide bench seat ...yes every window!! So I'll be busy. Thanks for the video, I saved it for later to watch. 😊
I would love to be able to place a photo here of my completed glider cushion covers I made with your instructions. Turned out beautifully and brings a beautiful spot to my front porch.
Thank you so much for this! I will be making a cushion for our dogs to fit in the back seat of the truck. The seats flip up and a metal platform folds out. Love the fabric too. Will be purchasing the fabric from you folks as well. So easy!
@@SailriteDIY definitely will! My husband ended up buying theLSZ as well. 🤣. I teach sewing and do some alterations. This will be a fun machine to use.
Wonderful Brian, you did so well and so clear. I put the cushion cover wrong side out and over the top and peel the fabric over and under. Found it much easier than jamming it in
I love this tutorial. My daughter wants me to make her a box cushion-this helped me a lot. Thank you. I am sure I will be watching this many times to get the hang of it.
Very helpful! The only thing I did different: my fabric frayed a lot more at the ends, so when i cut the fabric to make the zipper show, i sewed as close as i could to the zipper with a zigzag stitch, to secure the excess fabric, and then cut the rest off so it didn't get stuck in the zipper. Also for people wondering: i couldn't get a really long zipper at the store, but it's best that you do!
I can't believe how easy it was to follow this video and make a box cushion cover for my daughter's Murphy bed. So clear and straightforward. Thank you! Oh - and where has basting tape been my whole life?!
Just made 3 bench covers using your video. I used the same fabric for both sides and put zipper in the bottom seam, they turned out fantastic. Thank you!!
Such a useful video! I used this to help me complete for my final project at university doing graphic arts. It was so easy to follow thank you for making this video it really helped me!
About to attempt this now...wish me luck. After much research, I’ve purchased the parts, and materials from Sailrite. Tutorials were hands down some of the best and one of the reasons I chose to use them for everything. Thanks.
Outstanding tutorial. I’m anxious to tackle my first fabric sewing project. I’ve sewn leather for years so hopefully some of those skills will carry over.
You said it clearly but I just wanna double triple check. Did you really trim off 1/4 inch like they said in the video and the cover fits just right??? My first time making it and I don’t wanna screw up. The fabric is pricey. TIA.
FANTASTIC Video Thank you so much you explained everything so simply and I made a cushion in an hour the hardest part was deciding which fabric to use.
Made my window seat foam following your directions and it's come out amazing thank you for your video, I now know what it means to wrestle a crocodile lol
I love watching your video tutorials. Easy to follow step by step instructions. I must give this a try on my big dogs mattress 90cm x 200cm 13cm height. The ones I made were absolutely NOT professional looking but then they were for my furry pals 🐶 comfort who simply enjoyed their new beds. Thanks for sharing and caring.
Sailrite Yes I enjoy watching and learning the professional finish. Super great tips. Soft voices and much encouragement. Wish you didn't live so far. 🗼Your fan from France.
Used your video to reupholstered my cushions for my 1981 eriba caravan and they look great!!!! Instructions were sooo clear and easy to follow. For my first time making seat covers they look amazing!!! Thank youuuuuu 😃
Great video, good and clear instructions. I just scaled this up a little bit and made a queen size boat mattress where one long side is a couple of inches shorter than the other. It becomes a little tricky if you have to sew two pieces of fabric together to make for the 60-inch width. But if you stick to the instructions it becomes clear how to manage that.
Thanks for the excellent instructions I have ventured to upholster boat seats by following the previous covers and a few other projects just by guessing what to do - but started a new project and used your instructions without a hiccup great stuff
This video has helped me so much making cushions for my new house for toy closet and window seat! I kept referring back to this while making them. Really helped me with the measuring of everything so it's a nice snug fit. I actually made the top first then bottom so I know I had enough canvas fabric. The bottom I did in an envelope opening instead of zipper and out of same cloth as top. The bottom seams to stay in place and could use adhesive rug slid tape if it does slide. Thank you so much for helping me!
This one without piping much much easier and the narrator way more clear. Do you have any other videos with a simple box cushion like this? I need all the videos I can get.
This was a very easy to understand tutorial. I'm about to make my window seat cushions and I think it will look much more professional thanks to your video. Thanks!
Thank you for this great tutorial. I learned so much. I especially liked the commentator adding tips and the displayed notes. Easy breezy and I'm going to attempt to make our seat cushions! Getting on your site to order materials/tools. Thanks again. Great job.
Hi. Love this video!! Thank you. Can someone explain why we add a quarter inch to the size of the foam beyond our actual dimension measurements or have I got that wrong?
Great video! Easy to follow instructions! I have an old patio set of furniture with sofa and 4 chairs (bottom and back square cushions). I wanted to cover them but the process in other vids looked too complicated. This looks easy! I will try it!
Great tutorial. I plan to use this to make a cushion for a bench I use at my sewing table. A couple of tips - be very careful with the rotary cutter. The cutter should be pushed away from you will cutting (I noticed you cut toward yourself). And the blade should be closed any time the cutter is not actively cutting. Keeping the blade open while repositioning the ruler and/or fabric increases the risk of hitting either open skin or other materials.
Thank you for making such a detailed easy to understand video. My daughter asked if It would be easy and if I could make a cushion for her bench. I said sure, while thinking to myself....I’ve never made one but I can just google it. Well after literally 2 weeks of searching I found the Sailrite video to make a quick and easy box cushion with a zipper on the side! Exactly what I was looking for. I had a good night sleep finally after dreading for two weeks about not being able to make the cushion. The next day I started my project. My zipper was a regular zipper and it was 13” shorter than the length of my cushion. I managed to figure out how to sew the extra fabric that went beyond the zipper. However, I can’t thank you enough for supplying the calculator to figure the exact measurements. I thought I had it correctly measured before I found Sailrite, but the true measurements from your calculator saved my project from being ruined. Another great idea was to use basting tape...timesaver for sure! Thank you again for your very helpful video. My bench cushion turned out perfect!! Sincerely Judi
I will be trying this for a 28x38x6” thick dog bed using faux leather fabric, im having trouble calculating the measurements as i will be installing zippers to connect the top and bottom. i calculated 45x35 which includes 3” overlap on both sides and 1/2” seam allowance on both sides. gotta get that electric knife for the foam it looks seamless.
If you use our fabric calculator you will have to calculate nothing yourself, it does it for you. Here is the link: www.fabric-calculator.com/FoldOverSimple/index.html
I'm going to try this for an old toy box with hinged lid that I'm using as a coffee table/ottoman. I'll probably put small magnets on the bottom of the cushion and the lid of the toy box so it won't fall off when I open it. Whatcha think? I might try hiding the magnets on the toy box or keeping them flush with the wood. Thanks for the great tutorial!

Thanks! Let us know if you have questions.
Thank you so so much. Very easy & perfact tutorial.We are going to try for our daughter.

Brian, very impressive. Like the way you wrestled the foam, Crocodile Dundee would be proud. 🤣

I will be trying this for a 28x38x6” thick dog bed using faux leather fabric, im having trouble calculating the measurements as i will be installing zippers to connect the top and bottom. i calculated 45x35 which includes 3” overlap on both sides and 1/2” seam allowance on both sides. gotta get that electric knife for the foam it looks seamless.
If you use our fabric calculator you will have to calculate nothing yourself, it does it for you. Here is the link: www.fabric-calculator.com/FoldOverSimple/index.html
I'm going to try this for an old toy box with hinged lid that I'm using as a coffee table/ottoman. I'll probably put small magnets on the bottom of the cushion and the lid of the toy box so it won't fall off when I open it. Whatcha think? I might try hiding the magnets on the toy box or keeping them flush with the wood. Thanks for the great tutorial!
Usually magnets are not used in cushions since if they are sat on they can sometimes be felt. So.... most people use Hook and Loop Velcro.
