How to make a Cushion cover

Learn how to make a cushion cover by yourself and save that money for other things

Here are the steps that you will follow to do so;

a) Generate your idea by doing the following;

  1.  First visualize your end product before you make it. In other words, see the end from the beginning.
  2.  Write down your ideas on a piece of paper as soon as they register in your mind
  3.  Sketch your designs carefully. You could do around four designs
  4. Look at the requirements for each design that you have sketched
  5. Choose the best design basing on the uniqueness and the availability of materials for making it.
b) Put your generated idea following the steps below;
  1. Measure your cushion pad (or check size on label) and add 3cm to each measurement to allow for 1.5cm seam allowances. Using a ruler, set square and dressmakers’ chalk pencil, mark out this area on your fabric, once for the cushion front and again, for the back. If you want to centre a pattern or motif, or cut lots of cushion pieces, make a pattern from tracing paper, position on your fabric and draw round. Cut out pieces and iron.
  2. Pin the cushion front and back together with right sides facing and tack 1.5cm in from edges round three sides and four corners, leaving a gap on one side. Machine-stitch close to tacking, reversing for a few stitches to secure thread ends. Remove tacking.
  3. On heavier-weight fabrics, such as velvets, clip across the corners to remove bulk. Alternatively, to give sharp, slightly padded corners on lightweight fabrics, fold the double seam allowance down on both sides, pressing along stitching line, then at top and bottom.
  4. Turn cushion cover right side out, press and insert cushion pad. Using a needle and matching thread, slip stitch opening to close.

  2. Questioned recently to write about [url=http://vaporultra.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default ]vaporultra.com [/url] , I have to confess that I'd under no circumstances heard of these kinds of a detail. Some internet research later on and i learned that e-cigs are quite a great deal a promptly increasing problem. A Google search disclosed you can find no smoke with out hearth as just about 6 million outcomes only for the phrase "electronic cigarette" were being returned.

    What exactly is an e-cigarette?

    The electric cigarette may be in existence for nearly 3 decades which is a clever product targeted at offering smokers by using a healthier selection. Seemingly also handy in assisting to minimize and in fact stop smoking altogether.

    Now inside a fourth era, electronic cigarettes became a lot a lot more user helpful than earlier variations which perhaps were a little very huge to inspire a mass industry attractiveness. The "mini" is easily the most reasonable e cigarette to this point with its size of 100mm currently being similar to a conventional cigarette.

    An electric cigarette contains a flavor of tobacco but none of the hazardous substances discovered in ordinary cigarettes making it possible for people who smoke cravings to become satisfied without the need of inhaling the many risky poisons. Is it all smoke and mirrors? Or can this merchandise genuinely be the saviour it would like to be?

    A battery, an atomiser as well as a renewable nicotine chamber permits the smoker to hold and smoke the electric cigarette just as they'd some other cigarette, even making a "smoke" like vapour and glow at the conclude because they draw. The nicotine chamber proves incredibly helpful as cartridges are available in numerous strengths, allowing the person to cut back the amount of nicotine they ingestion until whenever they want, can quit entirely.

    A nicotine cartridge ordinarily lasts precisely the same time as fifteen to twenty cigarettes, so making a enormous saving to ordinary expenses. Typical, medium, small and no nicotine at all will be the a variety of cartridge strengths.

    A much healthier choice altogether it appears, although the advantages do not finish there. Because of the electronic cigarette not emitting any dangerous substances, toxic compounds or real smoke for that matter, they can be completely authorized to smoke in community. In winter particularly, regular cigarette smokers really have to courageous the freezing cold as well as rain only for a fast smoking break but this substitute will allow them to stay of their workplaces, dining establishments and pubs.

    None smokers also will reward, as their worries about passive smoking cigarettes are rendered null and void with the electric cigarette. A way more sociable setting then!

    Upon reflection the electronic cigarette is a much healthier, more affordable and environmentally friendly choice to cigarette smoking and because the awareness and also the market place grows they may have excellent likely to properly swap the destructive cigarettes we've all occur to be aware of and lots of of us have appear to dread and panic.

  8. But the company needs to add a comment on the package that it's ineffective on animals and possibly even dangerous to use on them.
    Treatment of warts can be done by various ways such as surgical procedures, medicinal drugs and traditional
    home remedies. The most common suggestion by
    Cayce for the eradication of warts is a mix of castor oil
    and baking soda.

  17. Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a
    sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter
    and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
