My cushion cover needed an insert. Someone shared this tut while ago and I wanted to use some batting leftovers for it.
I cut the main "square" a bit smaller than the cover. I wasn't really measuring.
My batting was not so puffy like the one they used in tut but once I sewed all around it looked all right.
I used zig zag stitch.
I used just one piece for the cover. No marking just few wonky zig zag lines.
When I know it doesn't matter if the lines are not so straight I don't mark or measure. Then I smile at such imperfection :)
It fits well into the cushion cover but it should have been a bit bigger.
It is pretty flat when you look at it from side. I'm yet to give it a test sleep :)
Linking up with Finish it up Friday:
I would never have thought to make my own cushion insert - that's pretty cool, and a great way to use up batting scraps!
ReplyDeleteYes, what Sandra said. ^
ReplyDeleteAnd your cushion cover is beautiful. Love all that gray and your modern take on ROYGBIV. : )
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have acquired various batting from various people over the years and don't want it for my quilts - now I have a use for it. Such a great idea and you can make any size you want. The cushion cover is gorgeous aswell!!
ReplyDeleteLove your cushion! What a fantastic idea. I have so many little scraps of batting.... Now I know what to do with them!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great and like an awesome way to use up batting scraps. Would it be hard to unzip a bit and stuff in more batting?
ReplyDeleteI really love the cushion cover, and what a great way to use batting scraps!
ReplyDeleteI love your backing, quilted with a zigzag. I never thought of that!
ReplyDeleteThe pillow is gorgeous and I love the idea of using the extra batting. Hope the sleep test went well.
ReplyDeleteLove your pillows. Thanks for coming by and seeing my cat quilt. I am planning to do circles. Kinda procrastanating about it! I noticed a circle quilt on your header. I seriously just need to take the plunge and do it!

ReplyDeleteFun! Thanks for sharing this tutorial and your version! What a great idea for the insert!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover, but part of me is sad that you hid the adorable gnomes on the inside! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWhen you say you thought it was too small, do you mean it needed more batting inside to make it fatter?
I hope your sleep test was a success! :-)
That is a fabulous idea, Vera!! And what a great way to use up those little pieces of batting! And your cushion cover is absolutely beautiful!! :)
