Cushions add comfort and style to your home, they can brighten any room and add that finishing touch to your home décor. In this class you will learn how to make fantastic looking cushion covers with that perfect professional finish. We’ll show how to make a piped cushion with a zip fastening. We will also chat through how to make your own bias binding at home but for the class itself we will use pre cut bias binding. Armed with this knowledge you will be desperate to get home and make more to match your furnishings. In this class the topics we aim to cover are: *Correct measuring of cushion pad to get that perfect finish *Marking of fabric and cutting * How to produce perfect corners *How to use and insert piping *How to insert a zip Materials needed: *A square or rectangle cushion pad *A Concealed/Invisible Zip – approx. the width of your cushion pad *Fabric – enough to cover front and back of your cushion with seam allowances. The fabric should be cotton medium weight. *Piping cord – enough to go round the cushion pad *Pre-cut bias binding tape in a contrast colour – enough to go all the way round your cushion. We have sewing machines for you to use but if you would like to bring your own please advise us at the time of booking. Refreshments – Tea, coffee and delicious cake are included in your lesson, please bring a packed lunch to this class.
