Top tips
- Fabrics such as velvet or linen would work well for this project, or a patterned fabric would be effective, too.
- You could experiment with various sizes, such as a lumbar cushion or euro option. Just adjust your fabric size to suit.
- The cushion cover is easy to wash, just untie and tie again when clean.
- For extra longevity, you could stitch or fabric glue your knot in place to ensure it won’t come undone and sew up the folded-over opening at the back.
