This was a fun project! I recovered a bay window cushion for a friend. Here is one end view. I'll post a picture of the cushion wrong side out later so you can see how I did it.
1.The first step is to seam rip the whole original cover apart.
2. I used the pieces as a pattern to lay out on the new cloth.
3. I saved the zipper and piping to reuse. The hard part is figuring out how wide to cut the side strip to reapply the piping. I measured out a strip that was the width plus 2" each for the upper and lower piping. You can take up any excess by folding it behind the piping and into the seam allowance. That allows for a perfect fit.
Adding the zipper was a bit of challenge. But not too hard.
This was the most difficult part..pinning and then sewing around tight thick corners.
Right end of cusion.
Left side. To smooth the ends, you can tuck in strips of batting. I didn't want to make it so tight that I couldn't get the cushion back in!
