Finally someone who is making the cover at 17 inches a inch a half smaller than cushion (of 18 inches and seam allowance of half an inch) itself so that it puffs out. I’ve been following other instructions anfd the covers are always too big. Thank you !

That's brilliant 😊. I am so happy to hear that you had great success with your cushion cover. Putting in a zip can be a bit daunting, especially for someone just starting out, but after you've done a couple you will think nothing of it. It's really quite easy.

With the measurements given for the fabric size in relation to the cushion pad size and the half inch border, I thought the cover would be way to small. I apologise for doubting your expertise. It is perfect! The easiest cushion cover I've made. Thank you. I'm really looking forward to trying more tutorials from your website.

I was able to make 2 very large cushions ( beds for Great Danes) very easily after watching this video. Thanks!!
