Slipcover Progress and How to Make a Cushion Cover

I’ve been making a couch slipcover in a series of posts.  Today’s is How to Make a Cushion Cover!

how to make a couch slipcover

Want to see the progress on my slipcover?  Get ready to love it as much as I do already…

How to Make a Cushion Cover

Just ignore the computer cord under the couch (it’s a great place to keep my computer safe from my kids, believe it or not.)  But seriously, don’t you love it so far?  Are you so jealous that this isn’t your couch?  Haha! Here’s how you sew a cushion cover for a slipcover:

How to Make a Cushion Cover

Start with these four pieces:  1 & 2)  the two main pieces-top and bottom of cushion 3) the middle band and 4) the zipper piece you created from this zipper tutorial To get your top and bottom of your cushion, set your actual couch cushion on top of the fabric you want to use and trace around it with a fabric pen.  Then cut it out, about a 1/2-1″ out from the line you drew (for your seam allowance and piping.)  Cut two.  ***If you are tracing an asymmetrical piece (like the top left or right back couch cushion on my couch) you will need to make sure that you keep the RIGHT sides opposite (in other words don’t sew the piping on exactly as you did one side because it just won’t work, trust me.) To sew piping onto your fabric, follow this piping tutorial. The middle band you create by measuring the height of the cushion (for the width) and the perimeter around, minus the zipper length.  Give yourself several (like 5-6) extra inches tacked onto the perimeter.

How to Make a Cushion Cover

Take the end of the middle band and fold it over twice, about an inch each fold.

How to Make a Cushion Cover

Place the zipper end of the zipper piece against your folded piece like this, so the zipper right side faces the fold and the fold faces the zipper.  Put a pin.   PS…normally your zipper piece and the middle band should be the same width but this particular cushion was much wider at the top than at the bottom so don’t worry, I’m doing something special.

How to Make a Cushion Cover

Sew the two pieces together in the area above where the zipper lies.

How to Make a Cushion Cover

Here’s what it looks like from the front.  Now your zipper has a little pocket to hide in.

How to Make a Cushion Cover

Take the bottom piece of the main cushion and lie it right side up (piping side up.)  Starting with the other end of the zipper piece (the side without the zipper) facing it inward (so the right side faces the right side of the main piece) and place a few pins as you align the zipper on the bottom/back of your cushion.  To round the corner, clip little notches to help.  Don’t pin too many though because the fabric will need to be smoothed and stretched and you will find that pinning was a waste of time.  Just line it up and sew as you go around.  To start sewing, start a couple of inches away from the end so as to be able to join the ends together.

How to Make a Cushion Cover

Here I’ve sewn around the entire cushion except for a few inches on either side of the ends.

How to Make a Cushion Cover

To join the ends, cut off the long excess, save a few inches so you can fold over for another small pocket.  Do the same thing as you did before, folding over twice.

How to Make a Cushion Cover

Tuck the folded ends UNDER the zipper end and fingerpress flat, then sew it all down.

How to Make a Cushion Cover

To sew the actual ends together, I pin them together first then manipulate it so I can slide it into the machine and just sew it down.  It’s not completely essential to sew this, but it’s nice to.  Just sew the stitch until you reach the piping.  This is totally the unofficial way to do this–not saying it’s the right way, it’s just what worked for me.

How to Make a Cushion Cover

And here is where I tapered off the uneven ends so that I could allow the top part of the cushion to be wider than the bottom.  (I just cut it off.)

How to Make a Cushion Cover

I always flip it right side out and then slip it over the cushion to make sure it’s fitting right.  If it’s not, it’s best to fix it now!

How to Make a Cushion Cover

Okay this is where it gets tricky.  Let’s pray that your top and bottom main pieces were the same size to begin with, but it’s good to double check now.  Turn your sewn part wrong-side out again and put it on top of the other piece, right side up.  Match up the corners and put a pin in them.  Don’t pin the whole thing together because it won’t fit.  You will see that one side seems bigger than the other and you’ll want to freak out and start ripping it apart.

How to Make a Cushion Cover

See?  Look how much larger the bottom looks than the top…plenty of reason to freak out, but don’t yet.  Remember that as you sew, the fabric will stretch and smooth and give you enough fabric to make it all fit.  You will have to get a little crafty but you can make it work…usually.  Out of the six cushions I sewed I only had one that I had to rip apart and cut a tiny bit off to make it fit. So what I do to sew it is this:  I make all four corners fit with pins, even if some of the fabric is puckering.  I sew the sides that fit just fine, smoothing and pulling taught as I go.  Your fabric will gather up and give you enough to sew the rest of the corners.  Sorry if this doesn’t make very much sense, but to get a tight fitting cushion cover, I think it’s a pretty standard thing to expect.

How to Make a Cushion Cover

Make sure that before you sew the entire thing closed you unzip a bit of the  zipper so you can finish sewing it up easily, then unzip it by reaching your hand inside.  That way you can flip the whole thing right side out.

How to Make a Cushion Cover

And voila!  Here is the completed cushion cover.  I didn’t trim a thing, which I may or may not do (leaning towards not.)  And yes that is my adorable baby in the background.

How to Make a Cushion Cover

Slide your cushion into your new cushion cover!  This tutorial was done from one of my side back cushions, so you can see why it was asymmetrical and fatter on top than on bottom.  The back cushions of the original couch were sewn on (I’ll show you that later) so I was planning on putting thick velcro on the back of these cushions. But they are actually staying put very well as they are AND the ability to take them off and fling them on the floor makes my couch MUCH wider when I want (which allows for much easier cuddling!) I’ve had these slipcovers on for about four or five days now and they are still looking great, despite my kids dirty summer feet.  (My potty training son even had a tiny little accident on one and it was super nice to just put it in the wash, dry, and bam an hour later all was better than new.) I don’t think it will take long to do the rest and I am determined to finish this week! Don’t forget to check out the rest of the slipcover progress!

    It looks great! You are motivating me to work harder on my slipcover, 4 out of 6 cushin cases done… Looking forward to see how you do the main part (the cushions I figured out myselfe, but I haven’t begun thinking about that part…). Of course I am also looking forward to your great reveal!

      So glad I could help! I ordered 22 yards of fabric and it was too much! I wanted to make sure I had enough since I was making cushion covers for all 6 couch cushions. But the extra will come in handy. You can find upholstery and slipcover fabric guides on Fabric.com. Good luck!

        I’m not sure why you don’t recommend Kenmores; maybe they’re not making them as well as they used to–which I’m sure is quite possible! I have a fairly basic Kenmore that I bought when I got married which was 40 years ago! I chose it because my sister had the same one and I liked hers, as did she. In four decades, I’ve had it in for service just once for a very minor repair. I had it cleaned and oiled at the same time; I thought maybe it was time since, at that point, it was 35 years old. It’s seen heavy use on a multitude of home decorating projects and making assorted items for three daughters. (After living in 7 different apartments and houses, I’ve never bought a ready-made curtain or drape!) It’s still going strong, making things for my daughters’ homes now as well as mine. I think I could say without hesitation that my particular Kenmore, at least, has “never let me down”! All the best with your great projects–I’m getting ready to slipcover my sofa using bleached dropcloths and appreciated all your tips. You’re obviously very talented!

          I don’t recommend them because I didn’t have a good experience with mine, but I know many people have had good success with Kenmore. I LOVE Janome and I think Janome owns Kenmore and they are like the less expensive versions of Janomes maybe?

    Hi there. What great details you give on how to do this! This is something I have wanted to take on for quite a while, and my couch cushions are sewn on like yours. Thanks for showing how you “fixed” the back!

    Did you leave the old covers on your couch? My cushions have a removable cover and I was wondering if I should keep that on, and just cover them up?

    Reply
    • Heidi @ Honeybear Lane says

      January 18, 2012 at 8:10 pm

      Yes, keep the covers on! They hold the cushion together better and when it’s time to wash the slipcover you still have a protective cover over it rather than just some foam. Good luck!

    You make this seem sooo simple! I’ve just recently started sewing and have only done a few “refashioning” items for my kids. But, you make this appear easy enough for me to do. I love the idea of not taking off my old covers. The other tutorial I was looking at you tore the old cushion covers apart to use as a guide for your new covers. That freaked me out because what if I totally screw it up???!!!! AND, then we had to look at the ugly foam cushion mess until I finished it, plus my whole reason for recovering them to begin with is because we have a new puppy who has picked it to death. Can you imagine what she would do to the raw cushion??? Oh my!! So, all that rambling to say, thank you for your easy to follow directions! I hope to do mine soon! Yours looks great, btw!

    I love your site! I came upon it searching around for instructions on how to make a slipcover. I’d like to change the couches in my living room, but that would expensive. Im on a mission to update/decorate the room. So I do need to buy a few things/accent pieces, and would rather spend my money on these than new couches. I just changed the foam in them and we can actually sit in them now without sinking….

    So I thought first I would see if I could re-cover them myself (which is a “no”…), then started looking at making my own slipcovers. Your site is the first one which actually gives good step by step information to do this. I do some basic sewing and have made my own curtains/drapes and altered some clothing, etc. Your site has given me the courage to try my own slipcovers. Im just as excited as you are, thank you.

      It’s not! I actually made a great slipcover from an old white sheet. In some ways I almost prefer the fabric because it’s always so cozy and cool, just like getting in bed into your sheets. But cotton duck or canvas home decor fabric is more durable for heavier use and more washings.

    Thanks so much for your tutorial on the seat cushion covers. I have a very comfy leather sofa and a middle aged dog who was the third dog who would jump up on it and his finally did rip the leather cushion. I have just put an old quilt over the seats for quite a while but when I covered the futon with denim and have another sofa that is slipcovered in denim, I decided to make denim seat covers to last me through our last dog before I finally chuck this sofa. I am thinking of using very stiff interface and velcro rather than a zipper that I would have to fight the three cushions into. My seats seem plumper on top than below, Did you give yourself more and slightly gathered in your tops? I always pre-wash/dry/iron so they will look good longer but then I was taught that yikes! 50 years ago.

    Like Jessica on October 13, 2013 said, I can’t find how to make the back cushions. JuI st the thought of actually taking (removing) them of the back of the couch seems daunting as I feel like my skills may not be up to speed for such a task! I do like that they are covered individually and not a piece of fabric draped over the back (individually covered).

    Hi,
    Love your slipcover. I did mine with no piping and used drop cloths to save money. I used it to cover an old but expensive leather sofa that had been through 4 out of 7 military moves and 3 kids, now adults and gone. I used velcro to close my cushions. I like the idea that I can remove and wash it. I have it in my sun room / sewing room with 2 cats.

    I reuphostered a used sofa when we were first starting out about 25+ years ago… somehow ignorance was bliss because it actually worked out shockingly well just winging it. (Getting up and down off the floor while working was a lot easier then too!)
    In any case, I have had my parents’ old loveseat in my bedroom for over 5 years. It doesn’t work with the room at all so… using your blog for inspiration and guidance, I am going to put some of my heavy vintage Irish linen damask tablecloths to use and make them into a slipcover. Quite a project – but it might be fabulous – we’ll see!
    I’ll take pictures as I go… 🙂 omg

    I want to use your great tutorial for making the couch slip covers but I have a question: For cutting the middle section of the cover (the horizontal band that attaches to the zipper) you said only to cut the width of that fabric piece to be the depth of the cushion…don’t we need to add a 1/2″ seam allowance for joining this band to both the top and bottom piece? Which would be the depth of the cushion plus 1″?
    I wanted to clarify with you before I purchase fabric or make any cuts.
    Thank you!
