It is an inevitable fact that nobody in this world can live without a cushion. A pillow is a good example in this case. When you need to sleep, for example, a cushion is a vital element that must be present in order to help you sleep. Without a cushion, you can barely sleep, you will be awake most of the night and as a result, you will be sleepy and unable to work properly the day after. Fortunately, a cushion, such as pillow, is easy to sew, as long as you get the right directions.
So, to sew a cushion, the very first thing that you will have to do is to prepare the fabric and measure the length of its sides. That way, it will be possible to estimate just how many threads will be required for making the cushion. It is of utmost importance that you make sure you have an adequate amount of threads while you are sewing your cushion.
The next step then is to make sure that the two sides of cushion snap together. There is one thing that you will have to keep in mind here though; when the sides of the cushion have been stitched together, it will be necessary to turn the inside of the cushion outwards. Therefore, it is important that you snap the sides of the cushion that they want to face outwards.
After that step, the next step is to stitch three sides of the cushion into one. There are two options you can choose from when you need to do this. The first option is the easiest one, which is, to use a sewing machine to accomplish the task. The other option, however, is more natural, as it involves only your hands to accomplish the task. It is recommended that you choose to implement a slip stitch here as it often turns out to be the best choice. However, you need to keep in mind that there needs to be a seam allowance measuring half an inch.

For those who wonder what comes next, well, you will have to turn the right side of the cushion outwards. At this moment, it should be possible for you to have a look at the sides of the cushion that they want to face outwards. Also, the cushion should now look like a pocket which can be filled with stuffs, preferably wool or cotton.
Even though the cushion now looks like a pocket and is seemingly ready for stuffing, it is not recommended to stuff it right away. Before stuffing the cushion, it is important that you iron the cushion flat in advance. This way, the cushion is less likely to have wrinkles when it is finally stuffed in the end. If wrinkles appear, it will be practically impossible to get the filling of the cushion out and iron the cushion again.
In order to make it possible for the cushion to be stuffed, there needs to be half an inch of opening inside it. It needs to be ironed flat as well. Then, you can start stuffing the cushion and then close it when you are done.
