How to make a french mattress bench cushion.

It was in the plan back when we completed our french style bench out of a pair of broken chairs because that was inspired by a ballard designs bench that is no longer available with a similar cushion. Continue doing this around the top and bottom of the mattress cushion. When you cut out the fabric pieces be extra generous. I finally got around to making my own and now i have the tutorial for you as well for this project i made a new cushion for a bench trunk that lives by our front door you can see the space here with the original cushion.

I m so excited to finally be able to share this tufted french mattress cushion i made because it s been 2 years in the making. The moment i realized that we had the space for a window bench in our sunroom i immediately envisioned a french tufted mattress as a cushion for the spot the breezy upholstery is revered for its versatility and ability to play to a variety of decorative styles and spaces. Don t just cut the extra 1 seam allowance cut and extra inch of both sides 3 total so you have lots to bunch up. The things i learned and the things i m glad i bought.

I wish i had done this more on mine. Try your best to line up the top and bottom stitches because that s what gives the cushion its mattress look.
