This is my first tutorial in english. I´m sure there are a ton of technical terms that I ignore and that probably have replaced with my own inventions.
I saw the original tutorial pinned a lot and, also, a lot of comments asking whether it existed or not in english. Well, here it is.
Be nice, it´s my first try. But let me know if you find big mistakes.
enjoy!
Hi Noe!
ReplyDeleteyour creation is wonderful!!!

Sandra :-D
pd: this page is bilingual!!!! WOW!!!!
pd: vamos ahi!!! ;-)
Only slightly bilingual :D
DeleteI´m glad you like it!
The directions are great, very clear! Can't wait to begin my own pillows!!!
DeleteThanks for sharing. . Clear and simple to make .
DeleteI LOVE that you did this for your readers. Thank you so, so much. I have wanted to make one of these cushions forever and just could not figure out how to do it!
ReplyDeleteI do have a question though. On the tufting of the sides. If I understand correctly the stitches go from the side to the top, and from the side to the bottom, right? Also, how far apart are they from each other, and also from the top and the bottom of the gusset?
I would guess that they are the same measurement from the edge of the gusset to the edge of the top and bottom of the pillow, but don't know that measurement or the measurement of the amount of space between them on the side of the gusset.
Suzy,
Deleteyou´re welcome! I´m very happy that you find it useful.
For the tufting of the sides you have to insert the needle from the top (front piece) to the side (gusset) and then, from the side (gusset) to the top (front piece). Once you finished surrounding the front piece, you turn the pillow and do the same with the back piece and the gusset.
The stitches are around 1 inch apart from each other, the length of the stitch is around 1/4 inch. And they are between 1 and 1 1/2 inches from the edge of the front, back and gusset pieces.
You guessed right, like I said it´s between 1 and 1 1/2 inches from the edges of the pillow.
Let me know if it´s clear enough :)

ReplyDeleteI have wanted to make a cushion but was afraid to waste the fabric But you have inspired me to give it a try Thank you so much
ReplyDeleteI bet button thread would work well instead of 4 strands of poly - it is stronger.

What I think I would do is go down to our foam store and have them cut me some pieces of sofa cushion foam and use that to give it some stiffness. That way you won't be sitting on the floor when the stuffing compresses. Just a thought. Love the idea, great for little ones and more seating!
ReplyDeleteWow That is absolutely awesome .... It's such a pretty floor cushions.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely - and clear! - tutorial and your cushions are awesome! Most of all: I was looking for this kind of diy cushions and yours is the only tutorial I found!

ReplyDeletethank you for this beautiful tutorial ;)
ReplyDeleteciao maria
Can you tell me the dimensions of the cushion when finished? pat
ReplyDeletePat,
DeleteThe dimensions are the ones that appear on the patterns minus the fabric the ends up inside the sewing allowance (around 17 inches x 17 inches x 3,5 inches high)
But you can make them any size you like.
Have a nice day!
Hi! Could you let me know how much filling you need for this? Its great! I am planning to make a mattress using this technique
Deletelovely tutorial. The edge quilting makes all the difference in these pillows. It is a great addition.
ReplyDeleteI had a mattress like this at home. but never knew how to make it. hahaha
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial! You did an excellent job. Thank you
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting this. Have been wanting to make these for a long time, but couldn't quite figure it out. The photos are really helpful!!
ReplyDeleteThanks again
Peace.
What a wonderful detailed instruction for making these <a href="http://www.petnhome.co.uk/large-lounge-cushions-c-33_5.html>floor cushions</a>. Having been involved in making cushionns for years it is great to see such a detailed explaination. I really would advise anyone to give it a it go - it is such good fun!
ReplyDeleteFirst: your English is excellent! Second: you taught me something I didn't know, but now I do thanks to you! Third: I was looking for something to make my grand-kids (19 of them) for their birthdays and I think this is it. I will make one this week to see how it goes. Thank you so much.

Perfect tutorial!! I especially enjoyed the gif file sewing the invisible stitch. I'll be making a couple of these for my girlies!
ReplyDeleteJak spojrzałam na gotowe poduchy, pomyślałam, jakie to musi być trudne nieziemsko!
ReplyDeletePo obejrzeniu zdjęć z opisem, doszłam do wniosku, że spróbuję!
Dziękuję za świetny tutorial!
Pozdrawiam,

This is definitely the best tutorial I've seen, with fantastic diagrams and markings. You spell it out in plain English beautifully for those of us who are craft-challenged. I will attempt to make one of these for my porch bench...35" X 15.5" - Is it possible to make a 5 point tufted design (visually like the '5' side of dice) vs the 9 point tuft? And will it still work? Since my project is rectangular in shape, would I be able to add 3 more to have a total of 8 tufts? Not sure if that makes sense...? My computer won't allow me to type the pattern without the underscores so you'll need to pretend they are not there but patterned like this:
ReplyDelete*____*_____* vs. this: *___*___*___*
__*____*____ vs. this: *___*___*___*
*____*_____* vs. this: *___*___*___*
Hi! I´m glad you liked it!
DeleteYou can certainly do that. Just make sure that the tufts are not more than 5 inches apart from each other and try to use a filling that is not too slippery.
You can divide the 15¨ height with 2 tufts aprox. 5 inches apart, move 5 inches to one side and place 1 tuft in the center, move 5 inches to the side and place another 2, and so on.
Im not sure if the explanation is clear. If it´s not, email me (contact@dobleufa.com) and I´ll try to explain better :D
Have a lovely day!
Do you cut thread after every tuft
ReplyDeleteBeautiful instructions. Can i ask, would this work as well with a solid piece of foam, I just want to make it a little more stable.
ReplyDeleteI love this. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteIts heaps good it would be better if you name the type of fabric you used, but other than that it was amazing

ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this . the instructions are clear and precise.. btw my daughter's name is also NOE.. pretty name, right? :)
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe this was your first tutorial in English - well done, Noe! This is exactly what I needed to make new cushions for a set of chairs, though I've been thinking about using foam and covering it instead. Your way solves all the construction steps I couldn't figure out myself. Thanks so very much!
ReplyDeleteMake a video pls
ReplyDeletethankyou so very much this is what I am looking for . very beautiful clean and elegant.thanks again.
ReplyDeleteI ordered fabric and am so excited for it to arrive next week so that I can make these beautiful cushions. Thank you for the great tutorial.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL! I have wanted to have this type of cushion on my pallet sofa since I finished it last fall and now, because you spent your time to give us this fab tutorial, I can make some ... or have some make ( I am sewing machine challenged!!). :)
ReplyDeleteOMG. It's owesome *.* But I'm to lazy to do this ;d Someday....

great idea and a very well done tutorial thanks
ReplyDeletewhat length is the mattress needle, please?
ReplyDeleteHow much would someone on Etsy charge to make something like this if I provided all the materials? I have gorgeous fabric I bought in India, but there's no way I could pull this off. :)
