Creating your  own chair cushion covers

Not all cushions have removable covers as some are used as a base to a chair or a seat in the garden as well as a decoration on a sofa or settee. Usually small decorative cushions don't have removable covers and these are just for show and not in use.

The designs and shape of both of these are the same to enable one to fit over the other for changing if needed. The Cylindrical shape or bolster cushion is an example with circular and round as another

The outer casings of the cushion pads can be as plain or as fancy as you wish, with the fabric matching, coordinating or really clashing as this is to create the look you are going for.

• Experiment with different colours, patterns or textures.
• Jazz it up with jewels, Sequins, tassels, braid or bows.
• Show off your handiwork with patchwork, cross stitch, embroidery or tapestry.
• Try your hand at quilting, beading, buttoning or appliqué

All these different techniques can be used to make your individual covers and really different effects can be reached if you try to mix two or three techniques.
