I spent 5hrs trying to do cushions for my camper before I had the sence to look on line... Now bear in mind I can make dungarees.. dress trousers.. coats and shirts.. Why did I struggle to do my cushions well those other items I have made all had patterns which I followed... 😂😂... When I came across your video I was very excited.. It took me 2hrs to make 4 large cushion covers😮😮😮😊😊😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.... Many thanks for your video and good look with your channel.❤
Perfect, thanks for this.
Glad you like it!
This was EXACTLY what I needed!! Thank you!! Made cushions for my sister’s bench. I looked through a bunch of different videos but this covered the two things I wanted to combine! For only sewing for a short time, you’re a genius!! Keep up the great work!!😀❤️
Nice!!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Oh my goodness….thank you….so easy
Wow thanks for sharing-- this looks super easy to tackle. Great tips!
Thank you! Clear easy steps, no boring commentary and no obnoxious music.
Haha I do my best! I will say that is my biggest pet peeve, I really don't like when people drag on in videos (especially at the start, sometimes I do it at the end of mine! haha).
Brilliant 🎉 thank you for sharing
Its amazing you've only been doing this for 5 or 6 months; you seem like a real pro.
This is great! I have been sewing for about 40 years but never wanted to tackle our camper cushions!
Now I wil😘
I love hearing this!! So happy I could help :)
I did not realize how easy sewing cushions for a camper would be? You make it look so easy!! Great video. I might have to go buy a machine and start on my 5 cushions.
You can do it!
❤very easy
Yes it is!
This helped tremendously!! I had super ugly outdated dinette cushions for my camper I’m renovating and slip covers online were all plain and expensive! And they didn’t even cover the back! Bought a really cute fabric that matches my theme and lucked out on finding your tutorial! ❤
I love hearing this!! Follow me on insta and tag me in pictures when you’re done! Or just dm me with them 😍
Thank you so much. This is just what I needed to recover our RV cushions. Your instructions and method of teaching is easy to follow for those of us who sew and others who do not.
You're a lifesaver... Soooo simple & fit snug. With your method, I'm going to make another set in a different fabric/print to change out. You're truly a genius. Thank You.
You are so welcome! And you are TOO sweet! Thank you :)
Thank you! Exactly what I needed. I was able to easily make slip covers for our Rv dinette cushions using some curtains I bought. Thrilled that I didn’t need a zipper, stapler, safety pins or clips. They fit like a glove and remove for washing. Great video.
Oh my gosh love hearing this!! Thank you!
Thank you! A million times over, thank you!!! I didn't want to do a zipper and I didn't want to use a board on the bottom. This video is the BEST!
Omg yay! Thank you for using my video! 🙌🏻💕
I have zero sewing talent, and this worked great for me!!! Thank you!
You are so welcome! I love hearing this!!
You save my life dear !!! This is exactly what I’ll need to simply sow without having go through a zippers ! I’m so thrill indeed to have found your videos ! Thank you and forever thankful for your easy simply tutorial 😅🥰😘🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😅🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thank you for watching, so happy I could help! :)
Ok, that cactus pin cushion is the cutest pin cushion I've ever seen! Love it!
Thank you!!! Joanne’s! 😌
Thank you so much! Finally found your tutorial, just what I needed!! Going to finish two 4” deep cushions for a bench. I’ll check back on what else you have! Keep up the great work, Lauryne!
Well done. A recommendation is to Iron as you go for a really great finish. Ironing your hems & seams before sewing really does make a difference. Thanks for sharing your work. 😁
I will do this in the future for sure! ☺️💕 thank you!!
@@laurynejuneprojects1443 i really am a mum who just cant help being a mum!!! 😂😂
Thank you so much Lauryne! I needed a simple way to cover two large pieces of foam I'd bought for my banquette and you provided this. My banquette looks great now!!
You are so welcome! I LOVE hearing this!!
We followed your video and it worked perfectly! First time sewers too ! Thank you!
Yay! So happy it worked for you!
This is the tutorial I have been looking for! Easy to follow and instructions are clear. I'll be making some cushion covers today!
Yay!! I hope they turned out great!!
Excellent video, thank you so much!!!
Thank you for watching! So happy you liked it.
For me, this is by far the easiest way to cover a camper cushion. My cushions are rounded on one end, so this will make my sewing project a breeze. Thank you!
Omg I love hearing this. Thank you! I spent days/hours figuring this out. And countless trials. Haha so I love that this video has helped so many.
How did they turn out with the rounded cushion? I am facing the same issue.
So happy I found your vid! Just finished covers for my RV and they look amazing. Thanks!!
Yay!
Thank you so much Lauryne! I looked all morning for a "how to" for my van cushions. Yours was the only one I saw that was exactly what I was looking for. I haven't sewn in years, but your directions and video
were clear and not overly drawn-out. I have completed 2 of the 4- 48" cushions, and they look great!
Ahh!! So happy to hear this! Love that you found it easy to follow. I also had trouble finding a video that worked for the cushions which is why I came up with this process! Thank you for watching and for your support!
Love this! Now I just need to figure out how to set up this little sewing machine I got haha I haven’t touched a sewing machine since 7th grade :S wish me luck!
Thank you so much. I have avoided covering a box cushion for years. This was so easy and my window seat now looks amazing.
Omg I love it!! 💕💕💕
Your amazing! We just bought a used popup and I needed this video! I'm definitely going to try this. Thank you for such an easy to follow video.😊👍
Omg thank you so so much! So excited for you!
Great tutorial again! Thanks for creating this video with easy to transfer use to any size cushion.
So happy this helped you!!
Oh my God you’re my new favourite you tuber that is so easy I’m going to be doing this in the spring when I recover the cushions in my 1967 EEE compact retro trailer thank you so much
Omg I love it!!! Thank you! I have been lagging on the videos because of having my baby! But back on very soon! With so much going on!
Now this is my kind of sewing! Were creating a lounge area out of our dinette area so im needing to create a cushion! You saved me so much stress lol
Love it! Can’t wait to make them for our pop up cushions ❤️
Ahh can’t wait! 😍🙌🏻
Love it! Looks super easy! Great job!❤
Thank you!
Thanks so much for showing me how to simplify this project. I worked perfectly.
Yay! Love hearing this! Thank you for watching!
thank you so much for this.....gone through many videos this so far is easily understood by me....its keeper
Yay! So happy to hear this!!
Thank you. Happy to find a no zipper solution for boxed cushions.
Same! That’s why I spent so much time figuring this out. 😆 and wow it works so well!
Just what I needed to see.
Thanks
I’m so glad I found this video. Simply explained and it seems to be a great alternative to zippered or stapled versions. Thanks fo posting!
Hi Lauryne, I'm coming back to say that I just tried your technique for my first cushion cover in our camper and IT'S GENIUS! Such a quick way to nicely cover the 80's patterns. So awesome!
OMG I am so happy to hear this!! Yay! Thank you for trusting me and returning to let us know how it worked for you!! My goal is always to make things easy and budget friendly (so not having to add things like zippers or buttons!). Thank you for the feed back!
Awesome! Just the tutorial I needed! Thank you!
Love hearing this!!
Great video! Looking to recover my pop up camper cushions with same SF Giants baseball themed fabric. My wife has sewing machine in the box so time to put it work! Thanks for the step by step simple process.
Yay! I am so happy to help! 🙌🏻
Thank you !!! Just what I was looking for. You made it so easy to understand.
Omg thank you! So sweet.
Thanks for a simple way to cover my camper cushions
Thank you!! Happy I could help!
Just what I was searching for. Easy to follow and very useful. Thank you.
Thank you Patti! I love hearing this.
Wow! That seems so easy. I think I’m going to brave it. Thanks
You can do it!
Thanks so much!! This gave me the confidence to sew my boat cushions ❤
You are so welcome!
Omg thank you. You made this look so easy
Have you tried it yet?! You will have to check back in and let me know! 😍
Nice tutorial! I like the envelope idea. We had those exact cushions in our 2007 Starcraft. 😊
Yay! Thank you for the feedback! I was trying to go for simple, no need for zippers or Velcro basically.
Genius!
I made my cushion covers today thank you for the video.
You are so welcome!
Wow! You’ve made me want to go out and buy a sewing machine to do this project! Thank you for this easy to follow video
DO IT!! Omg best decision I have made, I loved learning how to sew!
Great video! This helps so much!
I’m so happy to hear it helped you! 🙌🏻
Thank you so much you’re method works perfectly! I was following another version for two cushions and they were not working out I was able to salvage those using your methods And rap for other cushions!
Glad I could help!
Thank so much I always wanted to sew my own cushion covers seeing this am going get my fabric this weekend..Am exciting to begin your steps r so easy to understand. Viewed from Trinidad.God bless
Yay! So excited for you!!
Love it !!
Thanks mike!
That’s awesome! TYVM!
Great 👍 I made my for my campers, very helpful video ❤️❤️❤️😊❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yay! I love hearing this!!! ❤️❤️
Super easy to follow instructions followed the same method .But added Velcro to keep closed thanks for the tips
Glad it helped!
Thank you!! I was stumped how to go about doing them. I did some a few years ago but it was way too complicated to try again!! Lol
They are a little more loose fitting than I'd prefer but hey, it's just a camper!! But it's turning out super cute! Thanks again!
Yay! So happy this worked out for you. I always see inside of the seem I make, so they are a bit tighter.
As to the looseness, I'm planning on wrapping in 1/2" poly bonded dacron and using velcro to hold it taut.
exactly what I was looking for
So happy to hear this. 🙌🏻
Thank you so much for posting this video. I was looking for a way to cover my cushions without having to use zippers. I love the way your method leaves a simple finished opening on the back. I'm still trying to figure out how to recover my two corner curved cushions, but this will work great for my straight cushions. Thanks so much!
You too eh??😳😳😳 I’m about ready to dump those back cushions altogether! Just buy a few 24 x 24 cushions and sew some covers for those:) Those curved ones are far too daunting for me! Lol Good luck:)
Oh yes, I didn't even do a video for it because it ended up being SO difficult. I did complete mine but they didn't look great. If you want that clean finish maybe do what Shannon said below, new cushions, no curve!
@@laurynejuneprojects1443 how did you end up doing it? I have one cushion left and it’s the awkward rounded corner one🤣 I don’t even care what it looks like at this point. Help!
I have boler cushions I want to make covers for and this video helped out alot thank you. +1 for the tip!
Yay I hope this helps! Be sure to watch my video next week! I’m showing how I sewed my curtains!
@@laurynejuneprojects1443 omg i want to do my curtains next. Thanks staying tuned.
Thanks until I watched your tutorial I was about to 😡🤯 simple is best in a lot of scenarios now I can complete my cushion recovering and enjoy camping this summer!
Yay!
That was so helpful! I do not know how to sew but this made me want to try! Thanks hun!
OMG I love it! :D I will be making a how to sew video! I hope you find it interesting!
Lauryne June Projects yesss! I’m here for it!!
Ahh!! So excited for you!!
This was the most practical, easy and time saving video on how to cover a cushion. Thanks for this.
So happy to hear this! 🙌🏻
Very good, thank you 👍😉🇮🇪🍀
Thank you!!
Very helpful video - I really appreciate your time and effort :-)
Thanks so much! Love the feedback. 🙌🏻
This is great for cushions that don't have the wood on them like mine. I'm not sure if I'd be able to pop them in and out like that with wood backing but maybe! great video!
Thank you so much! I hope it helps you! I have seen people actually staple their material around who have the hard backing. 🤗
@@laurynejuneprojects1443 yes that is what I did to mine! I used drop cloth and I actually really like it! Plus, it's cheap so if it gets ruined or I change my mind, I can change it out easily and cheaply!
I love tour videos
Thank you!!!
I've watched this video a dozen times now... decided to sub since I feel like I now know you haha.. I've got hours into this and only have the edges hemmed.. I asked my gf to take care of the cushions but I guess I'm the only one who cares about my camper :( .. thanks tho :) by far the best video I've found on what I'm trying to do .. wish me luck 8 cushions to go!!
Omg you are sweet. I hope you get them done! Seeing isn’t for everyone so maybe she just isn’t into it. I believe in you!!
@@laurynejuneprojects1443 ahhhhhh you're the best!! Yeah totally got them done and they are fantastic went overboard combined multiple pieces of fabric to create patterns like a quilt to save money! If I ever get the video done I'll post here so you can see them!! Thanks Lauryne! -Tommy
What type of material did you use? Do you find it’s holding up well against stains and wear?
Thank you 4 shareing this handy tip dos it work 4 any size cushions
Yes! It works so well and it’s pretty simple! 🙌🏻
Thanks ...
This video made recovering my van cushions WAY less intimidating.
Yay! So happy I could help!
Thanks so much for posting this. I'm going to ice dye a 10 oz canvas drop cloth to do this.
My question is regarding the configuration of my cushions. I don't really want to buy new foam, but the seat cushion covers the whole base and the back cushion sits on top of it. The seat migrates out and the back falls down. There is a channel in the seat cushion for the seat belts. I also don't want to try to duplicate that. If I made the back be full height, the seat belts would go in between the two cushions. Either way non skid stuff or velcro could take care of the migration problem. Hopefully. Please let me read any words of wisdom about the best way to proceed. Thanks in advance!
I would do exactly that! My cushions fix really snug so I didn't have that issue, but I would just use Velcro and I bet that helps. If you do decide to create completely new stuffing I suggests making them bigger then the ones currently in your RV so that way they fit really snug in their spot! I hope this helps!
Ok I'm diving into this project. I have been sewing for a month haha!! But I'm wondering how to do a curved cushion? Would it be different? I'm having trouble visualizing what you did on the flat ones on the couple I have with curves. They go in the corners of the "sectional" part.
Oh my gosh the curved sections are so hard! I actually did do ours! I basically cut out each piece and sewed together. So for example, all the edges, the back, the bottom, the curved inside. Then I pinned all of the sides to the cushion and sewed. I will definitely try to make a video of this for you!!! 🙌🏻 it’s not perfect but it’s also not super hard! Took me a few try’s for sure!
Thank you for your video :)
What type of fabric you suggest?
I honestly think most would work fine, something with a little stretch will help. I believe mine are just cotton so they aren't "stretch" but they have some give. So I sewed them a little smaller then the actual cushion, when putting them on its a snug fit!
hi! I’m going to try this tutorial in the coming days for our camper cushions but am just curious what type of material you used?
Just regular cotton! I bet you could use really anything. Something stretchy my work better, keep in mind if you work with a stretchy material I don’t really know how it will turn out. Let me know!! 🙌🏻
Could you put the opening in the bottom part so in case of any stains you can just turn it round?
I bet that would work fine!
Could you use this method for the long base pillows too?
Yes! I used it for all of mine!
Loved your video! I am new to sewing, can you tell me approximate how much material to buy? How much did you use for the one cushion? thanks!
Oh my gosh I honestly can’t. I usually buy way too much to be honest t especially when it’s a color I know is really popular like this one! I’m sorry I can’t answer better!
Is there a reason you leave all the bulk in the corners? It turned out cute and is a nice way to change out decor and keep things clean.
I trimmed up all the excess bulk when mine were all done!
You can totally trim! I just left it if it wasn’t a ton and it doesn’t bother me or get in the way.
How did you get the pillow out after you pinned the sides tightly on both sides? Maybe once I do it, it will be simple, but I'm thinking it was tight in there, and the pins would pop out? Thanks for this. I'm debating making my own new cushion covers, or just ordering stretchy chair covers (another tip I saw on another video) Love you simple, no measure, cut blindly attitude! Perfection is overrated LOL
Haha I hate measuring honestly 😂 it was tough, I had to be really gentle when removing!
Can I ask how much fabric you used in total, ( in meters).
hi do you think its possible that you could make one for a out door patio cushion with this same pattern
Yea of course! I would just use a material that works well outside!
About how much fabric are you using
Can I ask how you use this as a template? I have to make 2 of each size cushion. Thanks!
I definitely don’t have a template, I also never measure (😂 I know so many would cringe at that!). I just use each cushion!
How do you do this of there is a piece of wood in the cushions? they are bench seats, with a wood bottom.
You should look up how to staple in fabric! That is probably your best bet, I would have done it that way if I also had the wood backing! You just have to wrap the fabric a specific way and then staple to the wood!
When you pin the sides ,is it on the edge or down the middle .
YES... I'm trying to work this out too.... I've done a dummy run..... My lines are wonky... Sooo I think I need to draw lines to be more accurate.
I went down the middle!
What kind of fabric did you use?
I was wondering the same thing, I just found her reply on a different comment that it’s just cotton
Can I print the instructions
Why can't I just iron the seam instead of pins??
Totally can!! I liked pinning because it’s quick and easy. Do what works for you ☺️🙌🏻
gussets work easier and look better, in my opinion.
What do you mean by gussets? Do you mean at the corners?
Would you still do the envelope opening?
