A holiday cushion finished in a flash! by Jean Boyd December 8, 2020 written by Jean Boyd December 8, 2020 671 Yesterday I showed you how to make the front of a cute Snowman cushion using a few fabric scraps backed with HeatnBond Featherlite fusible web. Here’s the link to the free Snowman design by Wendi Ganz of ShinyHappyWorld.com Now let’s finish the cushion. Completed cushion front. Here’s the link to the free Snowman design by Wendi Ganz of ShinyHappyWorld.com Cushion Back Sew a narrow double-fold hem on 1 long edge of each 7½” x 10½” cushion back piece. Sew a double-fold hem on 2 long edges of back fabric. Overlap the 2 pieces so you end up with a 10½” square. Overlap back pieces to make a 10½”square. Place cushion front and back right sides together. Using a fabric marker, draw a line to mark the seam allowance on each corner. Trace around a small circle (I used a coin) to make a seam line for a rounded corner. Trace around a circle shape to mark corner Stitch all around the outside edges, following the curved lines on the corners. Trim excess fabric from corners. Turn cushion right side out and press. Cushion Form Cut (2) 10½” squares from white cotton fabric for the cushion form cover. Place the squares right sides together. Draw lines to mark the rounded corners the same as you did for the cushion. Trace around circle shape to mark corners of cushion form Stitch all around, leaving a 5″ or 6″ opening. Stitch around cushion form following curved lines in corners Turn right sides out. Stuff with Fairfield Poly-fil premium fiber fill. Stitch the opening closed by hand or machine. Place the cushion form inside the cushion. You might have to add a little more stuffing in the corners to fill them out.
