4. Lay your 1/2 piece and 3/4 piece next to each other right side up. If you have a pattern make sure they are the right way up as you look at them. The two inner most edges (i'm pointing to below) need to be hemmed. Turn them in by 1cm and stitch. You can use a straight stitch or a fancy one! I used a straight stitch on the 3/4 piece and a fancy one on the 1/2 piece as this is the piece you will see on the outside.

5. Lay your front square piece in front of you right side up. Take you 1/2 piece and lay it right side down on top of the square piece. Ensure hemmed edge is in the middle.

7. Now pin and stitch all the way around the outside. You will need to put your zip foot on again. Stitch using a 1cm seam allowance and a straight stitch. Now turn out and you have a cushion cover!
