How do I cover couch cushions?
Measure the Couch CushionsTake the cushions off the couch, and lay them on a flat surface to measure for cushion coverings. Measure each cushion, writing down exact measurements of the height, length and width using bendable sewing tape. Account for seams when taking measurements to get the right amount of fabric.Choose a Couch Cushion FabricSelect a type of fabric suitable for the couch cushions. Go to the fabric store with the cushion measurements, and purchase the amount of fabric needed. Pick out fabric that is right for your lifestyle and comfortable to sit on. Wash the fabric before it is cut or sewn to prevent fabric shrinkage later on.Make Couch Cushion CoveringsPin the fabric around the couch cushions using the cushions as a pattern. Cut the fabric out on the cushions. Remove the fabric, and lay it flat, checking measurements again. Sew the fabric, allowing an opening to insert the couch cushion.
