  Step 1

  Firstly, you'll need to measure your chosen cushion and decide how many patches to make; for me I thought it was easy to measure 4 rows of 4 but you can do any number of patches :) then cut them out and work out the positioning of the final piece.

• 

  Step 2

  To join the patches first join the rows, when cutting the patches out allow a seam allowance and then draw round the template of your final patch size on the wrong side of the fabric- I used a pencil but you could use tailor's chalk

• 

  Step 3

  Line up the patches right sides together and pin in place

• 

  Step 4

  Sew down the line that you drew earlier on the wrong side of the fabric; this prevents any raw edges. This is why you can draw in pencil because it gets covered by thread later on.

  Step 5

  When you've joined a row of patches, it should look like this

• 

  Step 6

  When you've done all the rows, press them either with an iron or because it's a small project I used GHD straighteners

• 

  Step 7

  Join the rows in the same way you joined the original patches; then add a ribbon trimming or other decorative features to your taste

• 

  Step 8

  Cut a piece of backing fabric to the same size as your finished patchwork square; then hem it and pin the 2 pieces together right sides together and sew up 3 of the sides

• 

  Step 9

  Add a fastening; I used velcro but you could use snap fasteners or buttons or you could add the cushion and sew up all sides

• 

  Step 10

  Turn your cushion cover right way out and add your cushion. Step back and enjoy! xx
