Piped scatter cushions are a good staple for any curtain maker or upholsterer but getting them just nice can be tricky and those pesky zips cause everyone stress. There are also many different methods to the making, the way the piping is cut, where and how you join the piping, how and when you overlock the components and what shape you cut the corners.

I've created this video showing the making of two piped and zipped cushions.
1.) Rounded corners, bias cut piping joined on the bias centre bottom of the cushion, overlocked front panel after the piping is sewn on and standard zip with flap.
2.) Square corners, straight cut piping joined on the bias bottom RH corner of the cushion, individually overlocked components and standard zip with flap.

If you're here just for the zips the skip to 26 minutes in.

OMG! Piped cushions have always made me so anxious as I’m never happy with how I put in the zip but your method is bloody genius! Thank you so much!

Excellent video...and love to hear the Lancs accent again, having travelled to Blackpool every year for 30 years! Thank you!

This is the bestest cushion making tutorial I have ever seen! Watched tons of time and eventually made my own. Thank you so much Justine xxx

This is the most informative and interesting tutorial I’ve seen on sewing cushions the right way. Fantastic thank you. I’d like to a tutorial just like this but incorporating lining into the cushion as well as zips and piping. I’ll definitely be watching more of your wonderful work.

Thanks for a great tutorial! I made my pillow cover along with you - turned out great! I loved how you moved along at just the right speed. Not too much talk but just enough!

I've watched about half a dozen videos on piped zipped cushions. Yours is the best I've seen. Everything clearly explained and shown. I think I am ready to tackle my first cushion. Thank you so much.

Wow, this is AMAZING! I've always struggled putting the zip in and creating a flap - your technique is so much easier than the one I had been using. I am very grateful! Thank you so much!

I've been watching this wonderful tutorial from the end of work today, on and off all evening in little chunks. I've just got to the end of cushion no.1 and look forward to seeing you make cushion no. 2 tomorrow. Great job !

Justine you are a star!. I can't thank you enough for your clear instructions and videos. I have successfully made piped tiebacks for the first time and now piped cushions with zips. I wasn't new to the cushions but I've never been happy with the zips. Now I am delighted with them Many thanks. Anne Graves

Brilliant demonstration of how to pipe cushions. I could not have managed without your patient guidance. Thank you.

I’ve got this on my tablet and following you, with pauses, as I sew, though I’ve watched it several times through first. I’m reupholstering vintage rattan chairs, attached round seats with welting and half round loose backs. Thank you so much!

Just sewn up my first piped cushion. Your instructions were invaluable and I'm over the moon with how it looks. Thank you!

I love the Lancashire accent. My mum was a sewer, Manchester and Cheshire all her life. Loving the instructions. ❤️🇦🇺
