Over the years I’ve posted a variety of articles about cushion covers to inspire and teach you how to make your own.

Just like an old cushion my older blog posts needed a refresh! So I updated my collection of my favorite tips, tutorials and fabric resources and put together one big list for you here.

Cushion Cover Fabrics

Match your cushion cover fabric to your slipcover body fabric. Or, choose a fun contrast pattern. Either way, a durable washable fabric is the way to go for everyday use.

Cushion Cover Zippers

I like using a nylon coil zipper with a metal slider in size 4.5 or 5. Strong and flexible, perfect for washable cushion covers. Below are a few options.
