Make a Box Corner Cushion - The 30 Minute Cushion

This is the simplest & fastest method for sewing a cushion cover. In fact typical sized cushions can be completed in about 30 minutes each. The Box Corner Cushion utilizes one panel of fabric to make an entire cushion (unless it is a rather large cushion). No boxing, no zipper plaque, no top or bottom plates just one panel of fabric. This 30 minute cushion will include a zippered opening on the back side to accommodate the insertion of the cushion's foam. It is also a flippable cushion, meaning both sides can be used as the decorative side.
Use the Sailrite Fabric Calculator to get instant cut measurements for your size cushion so you can quickly produce a cushion without doing complicated math. Sailrite's Fabric Calculator is designed to produce a cushion cover that is tight fitting over the foam (slightly smaller than the foam) for a simply gorgeous cushion.

Well it took me about 6 hours and a lot of homicidal thoughts towards my sewing machine but I finally got cushion #1 complete!! Not a fan of the seam stick but I kept with it since I'm the amateur. Unfortunately, the seam allowance did not fully cover the tape so it peaks thru in some spots. I'm sticking with pins for my next two cushions bcuz that's what I'm used to. All the same, I still appreciate this professional tutorial and all the resources. Thank you Saaaayyyyyrite 🙂

@SailingAlbinBallad92 5 месяцев назад

Thanks so much, Sailrite. I followed the instructions carefully and it worked out perfect. I must admit when the cover was done and I looked at the foam I was like: NO WAY WILL THAT FIT! It looked like the foam was much too large too ever fit. But I persisted. Wrestled the foam down to its smallest size with ropes and started putting the cover around it. End result, it is so perfect I shed a tear. Tips: the sail rite calculator is spot on, cut out what it tells you. Dont worry about being perfect with everything. If you follow the steps well enough the cushion should turn out great. Small imperfections are easily forgotten. And finally expect to wrestle the foam in place but its all good

@SailriteDIY 5 месяцев назад

Your attention to detail and perseverance definitely paid off! So glad to hear it worked out perfectly for you. Wrestling with foam when inserting in the cover is like wrestling alligators, seems impossible, but it does eventually work.

How many are watching this because they are building a van?

Best video ever for making my own cushion covers, because it comes with a link that proves measurements for the pattern.

@helenastrang7047 3 года назад

This is by-far the best method I've seen, using the tape is definitely helpful since I was using Sailrite's vinyl fabric. I did use a regular zipper made for cushions, which was still easy to do. If you make them frequently then you could probably do it in 30 min, but count on at least an hour for 1 cushion, the second one will go faster. Thank you Sailrite!

@abhadullanordine 3 года назад

The best video ever on how to sew a box cushion My son and I were in the process of converting an old van to become a camper, and we had to make cushions for the seats. We had no experience in sewing whatsoever, and it seemed like a daunting task. In the beginning we thought we had to get a professional to sew them for us, but it would have been far too expensive. Instead we did a search on how to make a cushion, and to our luck, we found this excellent video. By following the instructions step by step, we managed to sew some beautiful well-fitting cushions. We even followed the link to the Sailrite website and used the fabric calculator to measure the amount of fabric we should use. The measurements were so precise that we only needed to buy exactly the fabric that we needed, with no leftover. We live in Denmark, so it was not really possible to order the materials from you, but had we been closer we would definitely have ordered everything from the Sailrite shop. The videos have been so inspiring that we we want to come back another time, to learn how to sew curtains and other items for the van and for the house. So thank you once again for helping and inspiring to creativity, it has meant the world to us.

I have the high density foam and 8oz denim Fabric for cushions for my travel trailer. I know that the denim needs to be stabilized, so I’ planning to apply fusible fleece to the wrong side. This is a fabulous method of covering/making cushions! I’ve used other methods in the past, but NEVER again. I’ve used boxed corners for totes and bags. I’ve never seen this method of inserting a zipper. None of the patterns I’ve used have said to close the zipper and re-install the zipper tab. This is brilliant! No more butting the edges at the open end of the zipper! Thank you SO much for the tutorial and the fabric calculator! Stay Well! Muskoka ON🇨🇦

@Truckerchick04942 3 года назад

Followed this video step by step and I'm sooo pleased with how my cushion covers came out! The only thing I did different was instead of using a small piece of scrap just over the zipper ends, I put some on each of the corners as well to give them extra strength and make them look more 'square'. This was my very first attempt at doing something like this, so it took WAY longer than 30 minutes. I'll be saving this video in my 'favorites' for future reference. Thank you!

This video/technique is awesome! I used the technique to make a large carrying bag for a Kuranda dog bed (added handles). I had to figure out the zipper length that would accommodate the bed, but after that, I used the calculator and followed the instructions. My problem is I am not a very "precise" person, but with this technique, I highly recommend some precision with measuring and notching out the corners. For my first time (cutting fabric to finished product), it took about three hours, but with practice, the time should improve. I will definitely use this technique for covering cushions in the future. The basting tape is my new best friend. THANK YOU SAILRITE!

I recovered a friend's rocking chair cushions and used this tutorial for the bottom cushion. It took me HOURS just to figure out the math. I measured, re-measured and measured some more. I finally took a big breath and cut the material while feeling a sense of doom that I had done it wrong. Like others here said, I had to watch this video over and over again while sewing. So many times rewinding again and again studying each step. (I have to admit there were a few cuss words during the process.) However, when I put the cushion inside the cover tonight, it fit! And it looks great! Well, pretty great for my first cushion cover any way. Thanks for the tutorial!

@anitacarlson6571 2 года назад

A wonderful tutorial! Thx!! I have done a lot of sewing, over many years--mainly clothing. But I always love to find a new and better way to do something: your way of doing the box corners, with the corner cut-outs and the zipper in the middle of the sides, is clever and so much more fun to sew than what I've done previously (a top and bottom piece, with a long strip to sew for the sides, with tricky maneuvering around the corners). (NB: You can also make the cushion with a fabric with a one-way directional pattern (i.e., a pattern that has one way that looks right (e.g., dogs all standing upright) and the other way looks upside down (all the dogs with their feet in the air!); simply sew 2 pieces together with the seam at the bottom of each design (at the dogs' feet), and then cut out the cushion with that seam at the center, parallel to the edge for the zipper. This may be too confusing if you're not an experienced sewer!)

I paid over $400 for it! And then a couple months ago I spilled something on it and without thinking, threw the cover in the wash and the cover shrank and didn't fit anymore (I know... talk about frustrating). I was desperate for a new cushion cover without paying $400. Once I had all the materials, only took me a couple hours to make! seriously so helpful.

What a fantastic video! So that is how they insert cushions into a tight cover. Mystery solved. Silk film. Good stuff. Worth investing in your machine, tools, and fabrics. Really great instructions. Thank you!!

I really appreciate your feedback! It means a lot to me that you found the instructions helpful. Thank you for watching!

GREAT VIDEO! When pushing the corners out I use a chopstick. It really helps get those corners well and save on fingers if your fabric is sturdy.

Excellent, clear directions! And now I have beautiful patio cushions! Thank you!

So, glad you made patio cushions following this tutorial.

Amazing tutorial! I didn't have the sticking basting tape, or a silk cushion bag, and was able to make it easily. I ironed down and pinned all the things that needed the sticking tape, and used elbow grease to get the foam inside the cushion cover. I was able to make my first cushion, and a large one at that! It looks amazing. Thanks sailrite!

Very well done. Easy to follow consice .... Great!! I noticed the "Creative Victors " comment. I disagree. Yes you have to watch the video and do some figuring, but once you have done this it absolutley is a quick professional finish. I guess he was expecting magic!!!

Thank you for a wonderfully informative video! I successfully made my first box cushion for our porch bench and it turned out great. I appreciate the straightforward directions without additional commentary. I was able to pause the video as I went. The online calculator was perfect. I will definitely consider Sailrite for my sewing needs and look for other videos.

Thank you for this video. I made my first set of cushions and love how they look. The calculator made figuring out my measurements easy and your basting tape was amazing. Thank you for making such a helpful, straight forward video. You're a great teacher!

We are so glad that your cushion project came out great! Thanks for your positive comments, we are glad to help. Be sure to subscribe and like out videos, if you have not done so already.

@mcastro145 2 года назад

Great tutorial ! Despite not having a lot of the equipment (hot knife, table, clear ruler) I was able to get this made, albeit in three hours not thirty minutes. To anyone reading comments to see if they can manage this ... you absolutely can. Just don't buy old basting tape and hope it sticks....lesson learned. I wound up using pins but yeah.

@SailriteDIY 2 года назад

Thanks for your kind comments. Good job with your cushion project.

@patriciawaites8661 2 года назад

Never having made anything like this before, I foolishly told my son I would make 2 cushions for a bench he made…and he chose a faux leather material. Yikes! Watched your video several times-the basting tape and zipper tape were fabulous ideas. Took me probably 3 hours for just one and I have to say, no one was more surprised than I when I turned it right side out and it worked!! Not perfect but he was happy. Now I have to find more cushions to cover so I can work out my mistakes. Thank you so much!

@SailriteDIY 2 года назад

So glad your cushion came out well. It will be much easier and faster on the second and each progressive one.

This is too funny because I was just on a website looking at that particular Sunbrella fabric for my outdoor patio cushions. It’s bookmarked as one of my favorite fabrics. I’m here to brush up on my sewing skills before I invest the money. Can’t wait to make my new cushions custom-made when the supplies arrive. Thank you so much.

@maryeannkovatch6233 Год назад

I can't thank you enough. Although my box cushion is a complete success, it would not be if it were not for your exceptional directions and supporting visuals. I have to say the zipper and sliders really taxed my ability to follow instructions. Thank you again! I have a beautiful bright blue cushion on my patio and I plan on making more.

@SailriteDIY Год назад

Excellent! Glad that you were able to make your cushion.

At the 2021 Annapolis Sailboat show people were wowed by amazing million dollar yachts but also by the Sailrite booth! I'm sure some part of me that bought that big boat did it as an excuse to buy the new Sailrite machine. Love your videos.

@cherylstevens5790 2 года назад

I am very pleased with my 300 minute cushion! I tried a small (19 X 21) cushion as a test before I tackled new covers for our glider. I have sewn curtains, shades, pillow covers, but always avoided zippers as my machine has no zipper foot. Guess what... you don't need one! Ordered the materials for the glider today, from Sailrite of course.

What an awesome tutorial! I have made my own custom mattress covers for our campervan using this method - it was quick & fabric efficient! I just finished another small box cushion for a custom guitar rig with very professional results. Thank you so much for sharing!!
