Base Sofa had attached cushions

and those attached cushions had zippers through which to remove the stuffers. Part of the reason the new bendable cushion was needed is the original design shown here automatically forced the cushions to bend. Once I removed and separately covered the cushions and simply rested them against the curved surface, they no longer conformed to the curve.

This cushion to be made in the next 45 pictures corrects the sagging height of the existing cushions. The new cushion will also improve how the back cushions fit into the curve of the sofa.

This series describes the making of :

A flexible, soft cushion, willing to stand tall and maintain an even fill pressure resisting gravity. Fits well into a rounded back sofa. Those before and after photos coming soon ! Stay tuned.

Peach color fabric is tracing of old cushion cover. You see writing on that pattern, tools we used, and the materials needed. Top center is Pellon bucram, 4" wide. Down proof ticking used throughout.

Top left see 4" wide scraps of peach fabric. This is used to help you see the action in this series, the unique feature of this cushion series is a hidden spine. The spine supports the cushions height.

Preparing to cut the three segments apart, at the vertical dash line.

These three segments will have a double boxing between them, sewn so as to behave like a hinge. That sewing will incorporate the Pellon Bucram, which will behave as a stiffener, or spine.
