Ok if you have a beautiful remnant from pattern fabrics , floral or stripe, this a great idea to use it and create something extraordinary.
You will need remnant that is about 10cm thin and length depends on cushion size you aiming. I made mine 45cm square, so cut my pattern fabric 48 cm with seam allowance.
For the sides you will need to cut extra for the invert pleat. For example for 10cm, calculations below:
Height 48 cm
Widths 48cm รท2=24cm + 6cm =30cm You will need to cut two pieces.
Back of my cover is plain finish.
First sew 3 bits together then create your pleat and pin ๐ it down. I overlooked my piece to make sure pleat stays put.
Then saw back and front panels together.
Sew on your zipper at the bottom.
