There was a post on Facebook sometime back from someone who wanted customised cushions.
And since I had recently purchased 2 beautiful holiday cushions (which I got at a great price in Sears) I wanted to see if I could actually make one for myself :)
I wanted to add some applique on the front side but the fabric I used is so bright and colourful that I decided otherwise.
Again.. there are zillion videos on how to (sew) sandwich cushion covers all over youtube and pinterest but I tried a little patchwork for mine because I thought it would look more attractive this way. I have included brief pictures on what I really did but the technique is extremely simple and involves just basic common sense.
For a sandwich cushion cover all that has to be remembered is that for the back piece you need to cut your fabric into pieces and since you want the 2 pieces to overlap, you have to cut about 3 - 4 inches bigger than half.
And since I was patching up 2 fabrics this is how I cut mine:
My cushions are 18" X 18" so my back pieces were about 11" X 11". After that I sewed both my front and back pieces (already patched) together and flipped it inside out.

I also made a patchwork cushion cover which measures 16" X 16".
Good work..
