It’s been a while between posts but there’s been a lot of sewing going on through the cold winter months. In the last seven weeks I’ve made 9 cushion covers — six for me and another three for sisters of a friend.
So many ways to trim and finish a cushion cover
All the cushion covers I’d ever made have had zips across the back panel, not along a side edge — it’s just easier. This time round I played with a few methods:
- zip across the back panel, piping around the edges
- zip across the back panel, fringing around the edges
- three buttons across the front panel
- zip on one edge, no trim
- zip on one edge, piping around the edges (this was the most fiddly but also the most satisfying)
