How to make....a cushion cover in 10 minutes

Heres how to make a simple cushion cover in just 10 minutes!

For an 18'' cushion pad you will need a strip of fabric approx 42'' long and 19.5'' wide. Start by ironing your fabric...it will make it all much easier!  As you can see I haven't done this as I am a bit lazy with the iron and my Mum would have something to say!  I will iron it when I have finished!!!!
Create a hem at one end by turning over the fabric a quarter of an inch twice to make a neat little hem and sew. Repeat at the other end.

Place your fabric with the right side up on the floor and place your cushion pad one third of the way down ontop of the fabric. Take the fabric from the top and fold it down over the front of the pad so that it comes just past half way down the pad and then fold the flap at the bottom up and over the front of the pad.  It should overlap your top flap by a few inches.  

Pin the join at the top taking care not to catch the pad underneath and then do the same where the other flaps meet along the seam.  Carefully slide out the cushion pad from the side. 

Carefully stitch down the both sides taking care to keep the flaps in position. When you have done this remove all your pins and turn out so the right side is outside, iron and you have your cushion.

This is how it should look at the back....
