How to sew foam cushions together?
The strategy for each cushion was to cut 2 pieces for the top and bottom of the cushion and then cut one long band that would wrap around all 4 sides and connect the top and bottom pieces. ** Also, it was very important to cut and sew the pieces just a little smaller than the size of the foam so that the fabric was nice and tight on the cushions.
How to sew a zipper to fabric couch covers?
The first step for sewing was to sew the zipper onto the side band. We wanted to add a zipper to the covers so that we could remove the covers if necessary to wash them once in a while. The zipper on the small cushions is on the long side. Since the zippers we have were longer than 24 inches, we just left the end side come off the edge for now.
