Can you make a cushion with the corners cut off?
Also asked as:Front two corners are cut off.Needs 3 inches off two corners.
Yes, and it is one of the tidier odd shapes. Each clipped corner is two numbers, partner. Give both and the cut follows your drawing exactly.
SaveThe quick answer
Yes, a clipped corner cushion is made to order through the custom-shape order page. Select the size by the cushion's widest depth and longest length, then upload a drawing with every edge measured, including how far each angled corner cuts in along both sides. The corners are cut exactly to the drawing, in fabric from any collection.

Corner cuts and angled shapes, side by side
| Shape | What to measure | Size box | What to upload |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two front corners clipped | Every edge, plus each clip along both sides | Widest depth × longest length | Drawing with every edge measured |
| Back corner removed for a window ledge | Every edge, plus both cut-in distances | Widest depth × longest length | Drawing or photo with sizes written on |
| One angled end (trapezoid) | All four sides | Deepest depth × longest edge | Drawing showing the angle |
| Bay with many angles | Every segment, plus depth at each break | Nearest length × width range | Sketch; a template comes back to check |
In every row the size box only sets the price. The drawing sets the cut.

- Cut (clipped) corners are made through the custom-shape order page.
- Choose the size by the widest depth and the longest length.
- The drawing shows how far each corner cuts in along both sides, for example 3 in (7.5 cm) off two corners.
- The corners are cut exactly to the drawing.

Every edge and both diagonals, to the nearest 1/4 in. If the numbers do not close, the workshop will say so on the call. — Nate
Leave your details and the workshop will call you to confirm measurements, fabric, foam and piping. No prices, dates or payment on this page: it is a request, not an order.
Two numbers per corner
A clipped corner on a bench cushion is a small triangle taken off a rectangle. Its two short sides are the distances the cut runs along each edge, measured from where the square corner would have been. Write both, even when they match.
Then measure the angled edge as a check. Angles are just lengths in disguise: a 3 in by 3 in clip comes out about 4 1/4 in (10.8 cm) across. A tape far from that means one number is off.
How far in does your corner cut, along each edge? The custom shape drawing pattern shows how to mark it on paper.
A clipped corner cushion is ordered by its widest depth and longest length; the drawing with each corner's cut-in distances decides the shape.

Buyer questions
- A common question
My seat has its two front corners cut off. Can you make a seat pad in that shape?
The workshop's answerYes, through the trapezoid order page. Upload a drawing with every edge measured, including how far the angled corner cuts in on each side, and the cushion is sewn exactly to that drawing.
- A common question
Can you make a cushion that isn't square, with 3 inches cut off two corners?
The workshop's answerYes, cut corners are no problem. Select the size by the widest depth and longest length, upload your drawing, and the corners are cut to it.
- A common question
Can a clipped trapezoid be made in a fabric from another collection?
The workshop's answerYes. Order the trapezoid shape with all dimensions and write the fabric codes in the personalization notes, main fabric and piping separately.
- A common question
What if the slanted sides on my drawing don't add up?
The workshop's answerTop, bottom and depth decide the slanted sides, which must be longer than the depth. The workshop recalculates, flags mismatches (about 1 in is common) and asks which number to keep.
Questions buyers ask next
Can a cushion have just one corner clipped?
Yes. A back corner removed to clear a window ledge is a real request. Draw the full outline and write how far the cut runs along each of the two edges it meets.
Is a clipped corner the same as a rounded corner?
No. A clipped corner is a straight diagonal cut, set by two distances. A rounded corner follows a curve and is measured differently; see rounded corners in the glossary.
Do I need a paper template for cut-off corners?
No. A drawing on paper with every size written on it, or a photo with the sizes marked, is enough for straight cuts. The workshop quotes from it and cuts the corners to match.
