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 make cushions for the reading benches in our office, or for a couple of classrooms?
The workshop's answer
Yes. Send a picture of the benches with the measurements of each section for a quote. The workshop has made 40 1/8 x 40 1/8 in (102 x 102 cm) corner cushions for early-learning classrooms and multi-section cushions for office benches.
Can you make a reading nook seat cushion with a wedge-shaped backrest to go behind it?
The workshop's answer
Yes. For the wedge the workshop needs four numbers: width, height, and the thickness at the bottom and at the top. One nook set paired a 2 3/4 in (7 cm) seat with a wedge 27 1/2 in (70 cm) tall and 7 7/8 in (20 cm) at the base.
How do you price a matching seat cushion and back cushion, both with piping?
The workshop's answer
Each piece is quoted on its own size. A 15.5 x 33 in (39 x 84 cm) seat cushion and a 21 x 33.5 in (53 x 85 cm) back cushion, both 4.5 in (11.5 cm) deep and both piped, were priced separately, and the larger back came in higher than the seat.
