Cushion in those high-end interior shops are so expensive but why pay out when they are actually quite easy to make if you have basic sewing skills. This soft furnishings workshop will teach you how to add zip closures, and a piped edge. You'll never need to buy a cushion again.
Course description
What's covered:
Design of a cushion: we'll look at a variety of decorative details such as piping, frills and flanges.
Measuring and cutting fabric, taking pattern placement and matching into account.
Piping is covered in bias binding so the workshop will include how to make your own bias-binding too.
Sewing in a zip - a foundation sewing skill.
Then you'll complete your cushion cover.
