Are you tired of the uncomfortable seats that make sitting for long hours a dreadful experience? Well, why not make your own round seat cushions to add some extra comfort to your chairs? In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of making round seat cushions that not only provide comfort but also add a touch of style to your furniture.

Materials You'll Need:

  • Fabric of your choice
  • High-density foam
  • Scissors
  • Measuring tape
  • Sewing machine (optional)
  • Pins
  • Needle and thread
  • Chalk pencil or fabric marker
  • Velcro
  • Iron-on adhesive web (optional)

Step 1: Measure and Cut the Foam

Start by measuring the diameter of your chair seat to determine the size of foam needed. Add an extra inch to the measurement to ensure a snug fit. Once measured, use the scissors to cut the foam according to the diameter. If the foam is too thick, you can trim it down to your desired thickness using a serrated knife.

Step 2: Create a Pattern

Lay the foam on a large piece of fabric and trace around it using a chalk pencil or fabric marker. Add an extra inch around the traced outline to allow for seam allowances. Cut out the fabric along the outer line you just drew to create the top and bottom pieces of your seat cushion.

Step 3: Cut the Side Panel

To create the side panel of the cushion, measure the circumference of the foam circle. Make sure to add seam allowances and an extra inch for overlap. Cut a long strip of fabric with a width equal to the desired height of your cushion. The length of the strip should match the circumference measurement you just took.

Step 4: Sew the Side Panel

With the right sides facing each other, sew the short ends of the side panel strip together using a sewing machine or hand stitching. This creates a loop. Press open the seam with an iron for a neater finish.

Step 5: Attach the Side Panel

Pin the side panel to the top fabric piece, aligning the edges. Sew around the entire circumference, leaving a small opening for flipping the cushion right-side out. Trim any excess fabric and clip notches along the curves to help the fabric lie flat. Turn the cover right-side out through the opening.

Step 6: Insert the Foam

Place the foam inside the fabric cover. If needed, you can secure the foam to the cover using Velcro strips or iron-on adhesive web. Make sure the foam fits snugly within the cover. Hand stitch the opening closed using a needle and thread.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

You're almost done! Give your seat cushion a final touch by adding decorative elements such as piping or embroidery. This step is optional but can enhance the overall look of your cushion.

And there you have it! With just a few materials and some basic sewing skills, you can create round seat cushions that provide both comfort and style to your chairs. Go ahead and give it a try – your backside will thank you!
