I’ve been obsessed ( in a healthy way, lol) with these French type of cushions and ive studied on how to make them but I’m hesitant to pull the trigger..your video makes me want to watch this step by step while I’m making mine.. it’s easy to follow!

I think by you having to sew a few pieces together to get enough fabric, it’s actually very nice looking..makes it look less perfect and more handmade with love..if that makes sense....I’m going to do that on purpose when I make mine. Thank you

@ChalkingUpSuccess 2 жыл бұрын

Hi there, yes, I think you could sew this by hand. You would need strong thread and very small and neat stitches. To sew the box cover, a running/basting stitch should be good if they are small enough. Good luck sewing your tufted mattress cushion! 🙋

Hi, very beautiful. Question: the dots at the top and on the side of the cushion are aligned? I mean: if you draw a line between them it would give you, in this case, a 90 ° angle? Or in other words: a straight line? Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply Gloria. I staggered the dots/lines because I was pushing the needle through slightly slanted. You could also align them if you prefer.

Is there a way to keep the tufts but add a zipper to make the fabric machine washable? Like adding snaps into the indents and snapping in the cover or using buttons?

@stephaniestange662 4 жыл бұрын

Because you’re hooking into the batting which is attached to the foam, no :/ I wanted to do the same.

@ChalkingUpSuccess 4 жыл бұрын

Aziza, with this style of cushion, being able to take up some of the batting and foam is what gives the cushion it's mattress look so removing the cover is not possible.🙋

@ChalkingUpSuccess 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, that's right Stephanie. Mine is on the window seat in our walk-in wardrobe and not in a high maintenance area. If and when it gets dirty I will take it to the dry cleaners for professional cleaning. 🙋

@azizacraig89 4 жыл бұрын

@@ChalkingUpSuccess Couldn't you still hook into the batting, attach some snaps into the indents of the batting (either with fabric glue or snapping it into scrap fabric and stitching that into the indents of the batting so the snap is facing up if that makes sense) and then add a snap on the underside/through the top (like how you snap jeans together) of the cover (with either a zipper on the sides or more snaps?) Then when you wanted to wash it you just pull apart the snaps and undo the zipper if you have one.
