My make this morning has been a bench seat cushion cover.
I ordered the fabric and got the foam cut to size in a local shop, bought some stockinette (as suggested by @Bodgeitandscarper on another thread) online.
I thought about piping, but would have had to order some cord, so did faux piping, (TopStitching the edges). The back is envelope style, but I've put a press stud in the middle as is a long cushion.
I'm happy enough with it, though I seem to have been a bit slapdash with my measuring. I might one day tidy it up, but no promises.

Likes it @fajita, pretty :)

@fajita how did you deal with the ends? I have two pieces of foam to cover as bench cushions for the garden and am unsure how to do the ends.

Love that fabric @fajita
Looks good to me.

Nice cushion...Voyage fabric?

Looks good, did the stockinette help? I may have suggested it, but I've only read about it and never actually used it.

Love your fabric choice.

I zigzagged all the edges. Then joined them all bar about 1.5 cm at each end. This allowed me to put the ends in, sewing up to the stitching.
((Have had a friend round with wine, so might review this post tomorrow))

@Bodgeitandscarper yes, the stockinette did help. The foam was very grippy with the fabric without it.
@Efemera I don't recall the make of the fabric, sorry. I've disposed of my scraps do can't check.
