STEP 2

Measure around the cushion, from its front right around to the back and to the front again where your tape began. Add another 4cm to this measurement. Measure length of the cushion top and add another 2cm.

STEP 3

Use measurements to cut out Zigzag all edges. To insert zipper along raw edges (length of cushion), refer to steps 2–3 of Cushion covers two ways instructions, over page. With right sides facing join 2 raw edges with a 2cm seam and sew zipper into seam as instructed. Turn right side out and unpick seam where stitching is longer to reveal zipper. Turn wrong side out.
