I would suggest making an inner liner and sewing a zipper into the outside. That way the outside can be washed and kept clean very easy. Be sure to prewash and dry the fabric so it is not going to shrink up to small.

Thank you, the steps and explanations have helped me a lot to make the zafu, it has been super, I love it, I was meditating with normal cushions. If I have to say something, it is that the endings, that is, what we overlap to close, would be better instead of leaving them in a zig zag, make them a small hem. Thanks again. I'm about to make another half-moon shape that I've tried and they are very comfortable. It will be something similar to this in the realization, only that instead of being round it would be a half-moon shape, right?

@RomyStanZakStudio 2 жыл бұрын

Absolutely a little hem would be a beautiful finishing touch ! My fabric was too bulky for that I'm afraid.

Thank you, this tutorial is so helpful! My Zafu is almost finished :) I had a few questions about the filling - how much spelt did you use? Is the cushion very heavy? I like your idea to use spelt instead of the traditional buckwheat hulls. I was going to use dried beans, but I think they would be too heavy. Thanks!

@RomyStanZakStudio 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you 🙏 I’d say about 2 or 3 kg. And the result is quite light and practical to move around. I believe with the beans it would be rather heavy 😉

Such a great tutorial, thank you so much. I am a Vipassana meditator. In my country, it's impossible to find any grain husk or shells and kapok. The best choice I have is sheep wool. If I use spelt will it be too hard to sit? I am so confused.

@RomyStanZakStudio 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you 🙏 I don’t think it would be too hard to sit on, but the pillow would be very heavy ! You can also use tiny scraps of fabric. Cheap and easy 👍

First of all thank You for this wonderful easy to follow tutorial. I have a major question, is it mandatory to wash the fabric before cutting it? I wont wash the cushion later on. In my experience I never had to wash a Zafu ever. I won't skip this step if necessary... 😊 Would love to receive an answer! 🙏 Love Paulina
