make horizontal rows. Sew the horizontal
rows together to make the finished front.


MAKING THE CUSHION BACK


10


Take one of the cushion back pieces and
turn one long edge under by ½in, then
½in again. Topstitch the hem in place. Repeat
this with the other cushion back piece.


11


Place the cushion front right side up and
place one back piece right side down on
top, lining up the raw edges at one end and
at the sides.


12


Place the second hemmed back piece
right side down on top, lining up the raw
edges at the other end so that the hemmed
edges on the back pieces overlap.


13


Stitch the front and back pieces together
all the way round the edges and press the
seams open.


14


Turn the cover right sides
out, press and insert the
cushion pad to finish.
