Step 1. Get the size right by taking width, length and height measurements
Enter the dimensions of your seat by height, width, and dimension. We can always stuff and restful your cushions if sent back in to your preference, if you have an irregular seat size we always suggest you give us an exact measurement by tracing the design.
If you have special requirements please note them in your comments sections, we may request a stencil template.
Here is how to make a template:
• Use a full-size paper pattern from either newspaper, wrapping paper
• Tape it together to make a larger size piece of paper, cloth or craft paper for any cushions that cannot be made as rectangles or square.
• Draw curves, notches, and unique angles properly constructed for your cushions.
When in doubt, make a template.
Double check the size of your pattern to make sure that it is the exact size and shape of the cushion you want. Indicate on the pattern which side is the front or top of your shape as well as the front and back of the cushion. If you also want a cover made for this shape, indicate on the pattern the side or sides on which zippers will be located*
