Here’s a collection of all cushion cover tutorials on the site. It’s a DIY Seat Cushion Cover Roundup! Yee Haw.
If you crave a custom look without the high price tag, making your cushion covers is what you should do!
Get the exact fabric color and pattern you want. Plus, choose the cushion size, height, and style that works best for your project.
You may think this job is only for professionals, but think again! Anyone can do this. Really, really!
If you are intimidated, start with the simpler beginner-friendly designs, then work your way down the page as you gain confidence.
I’ve put the projects in order of difficulty. The last three have very similar methods, so it is hard to rank those.
Let’s get started. You can do this!
