Because wicker furniture comes in a wide variety of shapes, all wicker cushions will require
a template. You will need the following items: a pliable
paper or cloth, scissors, a pen or marker, and a measuring tape.
First, you will need to lay out a sheet of paper on the seat, pressing the paper flat
all along the bottom edges.
Draw around the outside edge of the seat where you would like the cushion to be and cut out
the shape.
After you cut out the template, make sure that it fits. It may take a few attempts before
you are satisfied with your template.
Mark on the template which is the front and back of the cushion.
Next, you will need to cut out the shape on your back seat.
Lay a sheet of paper against the back seat and press the paper flat all along the edges.
Draw around the outside edge of the back seat or where you would like the cushion to be,
and cut out the shape.
After you cut out the template, make sure to test that it fits. It may take a few attempts
before you are satisfied with your template. Remember, your new cushion will be cut to
the same shape as your template.
Mark on the back template which is the top and bottom of the cushion.
You will need to remember to subtract the thickness of the seat template from the height
of the back seat template. For example, if you want a 5 inch thick seat cushion, you
will need to subtract 5 inches from the back seat cushion template.
To make sure your template is symmetrical, fold it in half. Remember, your new cushion
will be cut to the same shape as your template, so double check.
If you are ordering for a wicker love seat or sofa set, you may have two or three cushions
for the seat and two or three cushions for the back seat. You will need to create templates
for each cushion. You can easily do this by folding the template in half and cutting the
shapes out, or divide your template into thirds to get three separate cushions.
Lastly, please mark your pattern with your name, invoice#, thickness, width, depth, the
quantity, your fabric choices, style, where the front and back of the cushion is, where
the zipper should be placed (if applicable), ties and break locations and any other important
or helpful information.
