Figure B
  • Cut the shapes out of inexpensive muslin fabric and pin together (figure A ). Once satisfied, mark along the seams (figure B) and use them as patterns to cut out the real pieces.
  • If a piece of furniture is wider at the top than the bottom, leave open seams in the back to allow a cover to slip over the top. Tie seams with bows, use Velcro or add a zipper.

    Figure C
  • Double two-inch brush fringe for the cushion edges (figure C). This is also wonderful on pillows.
