00:00How to make a cushion cover with Turkish butterfly corners.
00:03In this video, I'll show you how to make a cushion cover with pleated corners,
00:08also known as Turkish corners or butterfly corners.
00:12I'm using a ready-made cushion insert.
00:15Measure your cushion first.
00:16Mine measures 50 by 50 centimeters.
00:19I cut the fabric for the cover to 46 by 47.5 centimeters.
00:25The extra half centimeter in the second measurement is for the zip.
00:29Mark the side where the zip will be sewn.
00:33Measure 4 centimeters from each corner and mark the fabric.
00:37Repeat this on all four sides.
00:50The thicker your cushion insert, the wider your corners should be.
00:55Draw a diagonal line between the marks on each corner.
00:58Then, cut off all four corners along these lines.
01:02For these corners, we designed a handy template that you can 3D print.
01:07The template has two sizes, 3 and 4 centimeter corners.
01:11You can download the free STL file using the link in the description or in the pinned comment.
01:29Mark the center of each corner.
01:31Fold one side towards the middle, then fold it back.
01:35Repeat the process with the other side.
01:38I'll show you one more time because it took me a few attempts to figure out how to fold these
01:42corners correctly.
01:48For the most part, it's a small section.
01:51I'll show you two more time.
01:51I'll show you two more time.
01:52I'll show you two more time.
01:56I'll show you two more time.
02:05I'll show you three more time.
02:20Now, let's move to the sewing machine.
02:23Stitch all four corners like this on both fabric panels.
03:20Now, let's move to the sewing machine.
03:26Mark where the zip needs to be sewn, about 3cm from the pleats.
03:31Make the same marks on both panels.
03:33I'm using continuous zip tape from a roll.
03:37When the cover is finished the zip teeth should face outwards.
03:40I've replaced my regular presser foot with a zip foot so I can stitch closer to the zip teeth.
04:04Place the zip on the panel with the teeth facing down and towards the left.
04:09Start stitching at your mark, leaving the end of the zip unattached.
04:13Repeat the same process on the other panel.
04:42Now, attach the zip slider.
05:06Next, we'll sew the cushion cover together.
05:08Start at the bottom right corner of the zip.
05:12You can sew the entire cover in one continuous seam.
05:16Start stitching about 1.5cm from the edge, approximately 3mm above the zip stitching line.
05:23Make sure the corners of both panels line up properly.
05:27I always use a 1cm seam allowance.
05:30I'm using red thread so you can clearly see the stitching against the dark denim fabric.
06:06I always use red thread to help avoid the fabric.
06:06I always use the Nosfer Parkๆ in the back of the church.
06:35When you reach the core
06:36corner near the zip, move the zip tape out of the way. Continue stitching about 1.5 cm beyond the
06:44zip stitching line, keeping your seam about 4 mm above it. Turn the cover right side out and insert the
06:51cushion. Don't forget to check that the zip works properly first. And here's the finished cushion cover. Thanks for watching
06:58and I'll see you in the next video. Ma.
