How to Make a Modern Seat Cushion

We had some useful but uncomfortable chairs and I decided to make them comfortable. I’m pretty excited about this tutorial and I’m in love with the added look the leather adds to the chairs. With simple sewing skills, you can make this modern seat cushion.

Are you ready to see how I made these simple 30 minute seat cushions?!





Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Chairs
Universal Needles for Leather
Upholstery Thread
Upholstery Leather
Foam
Sewing Machine





Step 2: Mark the Cut Line and Cut Foam and Fabric
Use a piece of paper (or parchment paper) to draw your template for your foam and fabric.
Cut foam to exact template markings. Cut fabric 1/2 inch bigger on all sides to allow for sewing seams.





Step 3: Start Sewing
Place fabric pieces together (the two pieces that you want on the outside facing together like a sandwich). You will start sewing the inside pieces. Sew three sides and half of the fourth side.





Step 4: Turn Your Fabric and Check Fit
If you have a good fit for your cushion, thread an upholstery needle and whip stitch the rest of the last seam together.





That’s it! Seriously, if you can sew a pillow then you can sew a seat cushion.





What do you think? Do you love it? I can’t wait to see the pairing of this cushion with the bench seat.
