Cushion Cover with Border | How to Make an Envelope Cushion Cover #1

Are you looking to give your old cushions a new look?? In this tutorial I will show you how to make a cushion cover with border and without a zipper. Beginners, intermediate or advanced sewers will find this process very easy. You will only need 3 pieces of fabric.

You can use the fabric of your choice whether it is cotton, canvas fabric, denim, polyester, etc.

The measurements for the cover I’ll be making today are based on a 17″ by 17″ cushion cover = 43.18 x 43.18 cm. If you need to make a cover with different measurements, we must measure the cushion to determine the measurements in which we must cut the fabric.

This one measure 17″ by 17″ = 43.18 x 43.18 cm. When cutting the front fabric, I will add 5″ extra on each side to make the decorative border of the cover. Therefore, I will cut a 22″ x 22″ piece. See photo below with measurements in inches and centimeters.

If your cushion measures 18 x 18″ you will cut a 23″ x 23″ square piece of fabric [18 plus 5″ extra]

Step 2

Lay the fabric that measures 22″ x 22″ on the bottom with the right side up. Then place the smaller fabric on top right side down and place the last one that measures 22″ x 20″ on the bottom, but above of the smaller one that measures 22″ x 14″. See diagram below.

Step 3

Sew around leaving 1/4″ or 1cm. Sew twice on top of the joints so that it does not unravel when inserting the cushion.

Cut off the corners, turn inside out and iron defining the corners with a ruler.

Step 4

Iron to define the edges. Then to make the border sew around leaving a 2″ seam allowance.

Once finished, you can leave it like this or you could also customize it using the method of your choice. It can be with iron on vinyl, fabric appliques, homemade screen printing, embroidery, sublimation, among others.

I will personalize this cushion cover with fabric appliques. If you would like to learn how to customize with that method, click here to view the tutorial.
