Something as simple as a piped cushion cover can change the dynamics of a room and even lend it a particular look! So how about adding a Miami-style cushion cover to your sofa or your bed?
Simply choose a pastel colour palette for the pillow cover and its hue for the piping to give off Miami vibes. The piping of the cushion cover closely resembles the neon lighting surrounding the Miami Art Deco-style buildings.
How to Make Cushion Covers with Piping?
Cushion-making is something of a mystery until you actually make one. You then realise how much difference a fresh set of piped pillowcases can make to a room, and how inexpensive they are when you make them yourself. You also have the pleasure of choosing the colours, sizes and fabrics that you want the most for your DIY piped pillow covers. Make a set of different coloured DIY piped cushion covers in the Miami colour theme, choosing four bright pastel cottons and using the main colour of each one for cushion piping on one of the others. These cushions are simple to make, and the cover is slip-stitched closed using matching thread to give a neat finish.
Things Required For DIY Piped Cushion Cover
- Cushion pads
- Iron
- Matching coloured thread
- Pins
- Piped cord in a good contrasting colour (bright blue on yellow, green with pink etc.)
- Scissors
- Sewing machine with a zipper foot
- Sewing needle
- 50 cm of 1.2 m width plain coloured cotton chintz per cushion
The Step-By-Step Process of Piped Cushions
The secret of making successful piped cushions is no mystery, but you need a zipper foot on your machine, so you can get up close when stitching the pillowcase with the piping in place.
And with this, your piped cushion in Miami hue is ready. So, relax! Even if you can’t manage to find a Miami-styled sofa with bright pastel upholstery, you can buy a plain sofa and add a DIY piped cushion cover in Miami colours with contrasting piping.
