HOW TO MAKE A PATTERN FROM YOUR FURNITURE (WITHOUT CUSHIONS):
Step 1: Place the paper or fabric on the seat.
Step 2: Press the paper so it is flat along the bottom of the seat.
Step 3: Draw around the outside edges of the seat showing so that it matches the edge of the furniture and cut. If you want the cushion to extend over the edge, draw where you would like the edge of the cushion to be.
Step 4: Place the cut out pattern on the seat and make sure the pattern fits properly.
Step 4a: If it does not fit, make any adjustments to the template so that it becomes the proper size. You can cut the pattern or add an extra piece of paper or fabric. Make sure that if you are adding more material, that it is well secured before reshaping the pattern.
Step 5: Mark your pattern with your information and be sure to include the location of ties, zipper, breaks, and any other options.
If the furniture requires a seat and back cushion, repeat steps 1 to 5 for the back cushion. Remember to subtract the thickness of the seat cushion from the back cushion so that the back cushion sits at the proper height.
We require one pattern for each cushion shape. Example: Some deep seating groups have the same size cushions for the seat or back. If you have a sofa with 3 seat cushions, they could all be the same size.
