I'm a beginner and consider myself a "RU-vid" sewer! This was very simple & easy to understand. I modified it to create a cover for my daughter's kindergarten mat. Super quick, easy and looks great! Thanks so much!!!
Molly! I did it! I really did it! Yay for me! I'm on a roll now. I get the pillow forms at garage sales and thrift stores(must be clean). Many times I get the feather forms that are inside an old pillow cover that nobody would be interested in. You learn these things being on a budget. I also get really nice fabric scraps this way. I look for old curtain panels..and if I see a quality panel, I buy it, deconstruct it and use it as a pillow cover. Next..cording, trim and buttons!
Thank you Molly, I've been sewing for over 50 years and this is by far the easiest cushio case I have ever seen, Just about to make 4 for my newly decorated lounge. Many thanks !!
Thank you. I have never tried a cushion cover but I will do it now. You made it very simple and easy. Wishing you all the best in life for this Christmas season and the New Year
Just cut my daughter's IKEA curtains to length and wondered how I could use the leftovers for cushion covers. Googled How to Make Simple Cushion Cover.....came across your video. Brilliant! Clear instructions - going to have a go now. Will also subscribe to your channel. Thanks from a Happy Mum!
Just started using my sewing machine and am a complete novice. This was a very easy to follow video and makes it look so simple, can't wait to start sewing. Thank you.
Thank you! First thing I’ve ever made with my recently bought sewing machine picked up at a charity shop... 2 new cushion covers! I am so chuffed. Last time I sewed with a machine was at school and I am now 60. New hobby and loving it. Great thing to start with.
Gail i also just bought a sewing machine from my local charity shop and like you the last time i used one was in needlework class back in 1980.. Hoping when i improve i get one of these new ones but this will do for the time being. Good luck in your sewing x
Jules Read Excellent, we are sisters in sewing! I hope you have fun. I’m just not taking it seriously, just experimenting and enjoying myself and that seems to make all the difference. Enjoy yourself!
Short, sweet, informative. Thanks for a great video. I have been sewing since I was a little girl and this is a great teaching video. No need to complicate things, like you said. thumbs up!
Hi Molly great video. As a mere man who has never used a sewing machine yet alone made anything I am going to surprise my wife and give this a go! Thank you for the inspiration
This is exactly how I need to make my granddaughter 's nursery cushion covers for her benchseat...thanks for posting it - from a new subscriber in Australia x
This is the best tutorial I've seen on how to create envelope pillow cover. Trust me, I've watched a lot this by far is the best. Thank you MollyQuest!
This cushion cover was so easy to make, the instructions with the video were so clear and concise, making it a pleasure to make the cover. Thanks for the instruction.
This is the fastest and easiest cushion cover and I love, love it !!! I am also going to make pillow cases using this method too so they always look neat and tidy. Thanks Molly from California:)
I have viewed many various ways to cover a pillow and this is the absolute best way I have seen yet! Thank you so much. Not only is it easy but I have been wanting to learn how to make a pillowcase that fits and can be washed. Most show how to make but it is permanent and not washable. Your style is so cool, so happy I found you! I am a new subscriber!
Just bought myself a sewing machine and this was my first project. Thank you for such clear instructions and I am thrilled with my first project 2 lovely new cushions. Look forward to more of your tutorials : )
I thought I had the quickest and easiest way to sew an envelope cushion cover, until I seen your wonderful video! This saves me 2 seams! I am making cushions to sell and with the fabrics I shall join and cut to give my own artistic touch, your method will still work brilliantly. I love how one can get a very snug fit according to each pillow filler. Thank you!
A bit late coming to the party but wanted to say thank you so much for explaining in the easiest terms ever. For the first time I have something that looks like it's supposed to! Enjoyed this...A Lot.
Have h a dab hand at cushion covers with the help of your wonderful video! Really informative tutorial and easy to follow, and agree Isabella it's short and to the point without any background music! Thank you so much Molly!
Lovely! I have made them before..but stitched on all 3 sides..then whip stitched the fourth side after inserting the pillow form. Never looked good. This is great. I'm going to make a pillow before breakfast!
Molly! I've just subscribed...I wanted to say how happy I was to find your video on this. I make & donate bedding to our local shelters & was looking for a way of not having to use/buy zippers or Velcro...you've just provided me with that! Not only will this be less expensive (for me) but will also be faster so I can get more bedding done! Thank you again! Ginger
Thank you so much for sharing. This is the simplest and easiest method ever!. Made few 12 x 12 cushions already. Want to try with longer pillows. Would love to see a tutorial with the envelope opening a bit higher for longer pillows.
Omg I wish I had seen this video first. Already made cushion covers following another tutorial which was a pain. Will definitely make more using your method, looks so much easier x
Brilliant, as a total beginner I can now use up the left over material from my first curtain making attempt to make matching cushion covers. Thank you.
Thanks so much Molly Quest - you've helped to take away my fear of sewing cushion covers! I tried doing the envelope pillow cover last year, but didn't use your video, and when it came to putting the cushions in to the finished covers, they didn't close enough! So, thanks again - you're a genius!
Thank you so much for sharing your cushion cover technique. It will help me out, because I refurbish but, can't sow; but I can do this... excited to try!!!
Thanks so much!! I recovered a porch swing cushion with this method. Very easy and decent looking. I like that the cover can easily be removed to wash also!
It really is! My beginner Students can't believe how easy it is, its just 2 lines of straight stitching! Thanks for watching and the comment, let me know how you get on!!
Thanks! Great! I use to make pillowcase in this way! How couldn't I think to make cushion covers too?? Thanks again! You've got a voice like an angel! :)
Thanks so much Molly!! You explain it so well and simply, I actually feel like I can do it. I wish I’d seen this before I bought too much fabric. Can’t wait to try it out. Can’t wait to check out your other videos. Thanks for Outback Australia 🇦🇺
Hey Molly, What a clear and concise tutorial. Some videos on here emphasise more on 'flowery presenting' rather than get to the point. Definitely subscribing. Thank you
Wow! Thanks for the comment Ellen! This is the way I teach, I find when you start killing people with measurements and fiddly details you lose their interest and get bored. Thanks again
Hi Molly thank you for the most easy cushion cover to make. I have made two and am scouting round the house looking for more fabric to make more. Ps love your nails! .x
Thanks June! Hope you found more fabric? These covers can be rather addictive when you realise how quick they are to run up! You should share pics of your work! Thanks again
Thanks for the comment! The best Fabric is Cotton, preferably an upholstery weight (but like denim). Depending on the size of your Cushion, a metre should get you about 2 cushions, possibly more!
Hi Melissa! Thanx for the compliment! Please heck my other replies as I have answered this question before, a few other subscribers have asked this very same question. Thx again!
I'm new to wanting to make my own pillow cases, was dreading having to try and sew in a zipper, now I don't have to. Thank you for such an easy and more simple way to make a cushion cover :)
Hey HeadGirl! Thx for the comment! This version is much Easier, although.....the other lady's version is cool for inserting piping or fringing etc as all 4 sides are open / seamed. Take care and thx again for watching & commenting!
Hi Molly, I'd bought some fabric in a charity shop which was soooo lovely. I had in mind making cushion covers, but had absolutely no idea how I was gonna make them. This clip is brilliant - Thanks!!
Thanx for your comment, very uplifting! You can use fusion tape for the double turned down edges, but you could hand stitch the 2 sides. Fusion tape would hold the sides, especially when the cushion goes inside. Good Luck and thanks again
