Make a French Mattress Cushion

Have you admired the latest hand sewn cushions that are featured in a lot of Interior decor magazines?

In this 1-day weekend course, you will create a 40 x 40 x 7cm sample French cushion using the ticking 100% cotton fabric and other materials from sustainable resources. You will be introduced to the necessary materials and techniques needed to make this type of cushion, including choosing the right fabric, measuring and cutting, sewing techniques, and stuffing methods.

The workshop  will teach you all the steps, including how to identify the different types of materials that can be used to make one. You will learn how to select the right fabric, including considerations such as texture, weight, and durability.

Next, you will be introduced to the techniques involved in measuring and cutting the fabric, including how to create a pattern, and how to ensure that the cushion will be the right size and shape. You will also learn how to sew the pieces together, using traditional upholstery techniques, to create the characteristic pinched edge and tufted style.

This project crosses the techniques of home furnishings and upholstery.

By the end of the day, you will have gained an understanding of the materials and techniques involved in making a beautiful and comfortable French cushion. You will have the skills and knowledge needed to create a unique and personalized cushion that will add elegance and charm to any room.

The use of all tools and materials is included.
