Bench Cushion

Step 4 Sew

First fold a small lip of the narrower side of the 77-1/2" piece of fabric over and sew it to form an even edge. Repeat making a similar edge with the small 18" of fabric. The sewn edge of the 18" of fabric will then overlap the longer piece of the sewn edge of the 77-1/2" fabric. This will form a small pocket at this junction in the final cover. Pin them together such that the total length of the two pieces combined reaches 92.5".

Then, with the right side facing inwards, sew one of the thing long strips to the long edge of these pieces of fabric. Repeat on the other edge with the other long strip.

Next, attach each respective side of the longest solid piece of fabric (facing inwards) to one of the two long skinny strips. When you are done, it should form a fabric tube of sorts

Lastly, again with the right side of the fabric facing inwards, attach each small square to each open end, such that all the sides line up correctly. This will close the cushion and form a proper rectangular shape.

Finally, flip the whole thing inside-out through the pocket. The right-side of the fabric will now be facing outwards.
