Instruction:

I saw similar cushions but made my own charts on the computer. Then I worked with the tapestry needle and the colorful wool.

After having been finished with the embroidery I prepared the lining for the back side of the cushion cover. I cut the lining about 10cm (4") away from the lower edge.

 

I ironed an interfacing band on both sides, to stabilize the zipper.

 

I sewed on an invisible zipper with the sewing machine.

 

(Be careful when you have a fabric with stripes!).

 

 

I made an additional seam on each zipper band --> foto.

Then I pinned the lining to the wrong side of the embroidered canvas. The zipper should be opened a little bit before sewing, otherwise it is difficult to turn the cushion cover.

I turned the cushion cover and sewed on the twisted cord by hand. If you have a twisted cord on a band you have to insert it between lining and embroidery before you join the layers.

Enjoy the cushion covers.
