One photograph at a time, the masters read what a made-to-measure cushion is doing: its proportion, the line of the piping, the fabric against the light, and the questions that come up before cutting one like it.
Could you mail me a few fabric or color samples before I order?
The workshop's answer
Yes. You pay only the shipping and the swatches are mailed to you. The shop can also send a photo of its color chart, for instance to hold up against your wall paint.
Which velvet codes would give me navy, slate blue and terracotta?
The workshop's answer
For one cushion, deep navy 131 with burnt terracotta 112 piping; for the other, teal blue 129 with deep navy 131 piping. Expect a slight tone difference from lighting in photos.
Could I get a velvet window seat cushion with matching bolsters, at least 4 inches thick?
The workshop's answer
Yes. Choose a color number from the velvet swatch card (one buyer's dusty rose was no. 11) and order the seat, backrest and bolsters together as a set. Standard thickness is 4 in (10 cm), every size can be customized, and in that conversation making took 5 to 7 days plus 3 to 5 days for delivery.
