In our cushion class Julie will teach you how to make professionally finished cushion covers. We will start with a basic cover with piping (which you will make yourself!) and an invisible zipper, then move on to a quilted cushion cover with a buttoned closure and bound edge and finally a bolster cushion cover. We will also show you how to make your own bolster cushion inner from an ordinary cushion. 

Now you can make all those embroideries into beautifully sewn cushions! You will need to bring your sewing machine and general sewing supplies.
