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.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    What colors does the corduroy teddy sofa come in? Could you make it in black or maroon?

    The workshop's answer

    The listing offers nine corduroy colors. Black corduroy and maroon are not among them.

  2. A common question

    Can the teddy floor sofa come in velvet, linen or a print instead of corduroy?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. There is a velvet color chart, two linen lines and printed velvets, but no stripes for that piece. The teddy shape cannot be tufted.

  3. A common question

    The striped fabric I picked has no plain version. What can I use for the piping?

    The workshop's answer

    Striped lines come only as stripes, with no solid in the same tone. Use the same stripe for the piping, or pick a solid color from another chart.
