Finishing
With right sides facing, lay both the front and back of the cushion on top of each other. Using a yarn needle and length of C1 matching yarn, begin to sew around the edge of the cover ensuring that only three of the four sides are joined. One side must remain open to allow for the insert to be inserted.
Turn project out (pattern side out), insert the cushion insert and continue to sew the opening shut. Once completed weave in loose ends.
