DIY Easy 1 Piece Boxed Cushion Cover Tutorial | Van Build Series Ep. 47

Today I'm going to show you how easy it is to make really beautiful boxed cushion covers for your van in 1-piece!

This video is a step-by-step tutorial for making a boxed cushion cover.

I will show you how to measure to make a perfectly fitting cushion cover with only one piece of fabric.

I'll also show you how to put in a zipper! Even if you’ve never sewn a zipper before you can do it! It’s really not that difficult.

The covers can also be easily removed for washing.

Follow every step, and you’ll soon have a beautiful covered cushion.

I made 6 for my Sprinter Van conversion, and I absolutely love them!

Be careful if you have a directional fabric. Always pre-wash your fabric.

Measure twice cut once.

Enjoy and make sure to subscribe to follow along with my van build!

Your video was so helpful! As I'm going to attempt to make my own covers in the coming weeks. Do you allow the same seam allowance on all projects or does it differ depending on size? (Sorry I'm a novice!) Thanks in advance x

[lynnebateman]

I did it! three cushions made, watched your video a billion times in microscopic detail! Did two zips wrong, got very confused with the maths, but i DID IT! thank you!

Thank you for saying don’t be scared. You’re only sewing stuff together. I need to make a box cushion and I’ve been putting it off for so long because I was scared. But now you make me feel like I can do it. Thank you.

[yeek]

Thank you very much for such a helpful tutorial! I am using this video to make new covers for my patio furniture. The first one turned out great.

Well I'm totally shocked, I've never sewn a box cushion ever, I followed your method and it worked! it actually worked, 😂, when I was making it I thought this will never fit, but it did, thankyou so much for sharing 🫶

I’ve made cushions 100x, this by far easiest way to do them! 🎉😊

Thanks so much for posting this video. I just finished making 3 cushions for my Toyota Sienna minivan camper conversion, and they turned our great. And this was the very first time I have sewn anything in my entire life. I couldn't have done it without your video. Thanks for posting it. 😊

Before sewing anything, if you mark the center point on the long sides with a notch, the fold your zipper in half and mark both centers. Then sew your boxes, then when installing the zipper just the centers of fabric and zipper on your center notches and pin out each side, and you have an equal zip on each side.

Best tutorial I’ve seen for a box cushion. I knew there was a better way

[bellacucina]

What a great job and a surprise ending with all bed covering completed. Bravo! Happy Traveling

[bookmaid]

Thank you for this! I made a couple of train wreck cushion covers for my daughter's rv....wish I would've seen this first😊 next time😊

Thank you so much. I have been really worrying about trying to get boxed cushions 'right'. This is such a great tutorial.

[kalelapiperga]

I made this!!!! Followed your exact instructions!! I made them for my RV trailer and couldn’t believe how beautiful they looked! I even surprisedmy mom who is a seasoned seamstress. I did get her help with the zipper, but it came out great!!!

I needed to make a cushion for a wheelchair and am so grateful you took the time to post this video. My corners didn't turn out as well as yours, but the cushion still looks nice ... and, best of all, it can be removed to wash! The zipper wasn't hard at all. Thanks so very much.

Thanks for that, I've done various types of cushions before but this has been a game changer when it came to making the covers for a friend's camper van. I thought I was going to have to make panelled side boxed cushions with a welt zip but no, this is so simple, and so much faster. Highly recommended. As an aside to others looking at this, measuring and cutting out accurately is key, after that it's easy.

You explain things so clearly. Thank you. I’m definitely feeling brave enough to have a go myself. I’ll be rewatching your video as I sew!

[thewaltest]

You have blown my mind! Incredible. Thank you! And I love your rainbow pin tomato soooo much!

[angellestone]

Thanks so very much. This is so simple and will be the perfect way for me to do my van couch / bed cousins.

Thank you for a clear and easy to understand video. I made my first cushion cover using it and it turned out great!
