How to sew button cushions – ボタン付きクッションカバーの作り方

I do love our new sofa bed, but it came with the most ugly black and brown cushions. I’m so glad I’ve finally made new cushion covers and got the chance to showcase a gorgeous ceramic button as well!

新しいソファーにはダサい黒と茶色のクッションがついてきました。やっとクッションカバーを作ってこの可愛いボタンを使えたので嬉しいです。

This button is an English Flower Garden button from the Etsy store, Fulton & Co. The blue floral fabric, I picked up at the discount fabric store in the Mission district for less than $5.

ボタンはEtsyのFulton & Co.とゆう店の物です。ブルーの花柄の生地は$5以下でした。

How to make

Step 1

Stitch the edges of your cushion cover. Press the opening with an iron before you turn it inside out to create a neat finish (A,B). Insert your cushion (C) and hand stitch closed using a saddle stitch.

クッションカバーはアイロンをかけてから表に返すときれいです(A,B)。クッションを入れて(C)手縫いでしめます。

Button-cushion-tutorial-ボタン付きクッションカバー作り方-Step1

Step 2

Mark the centre of both the front and back of cushion with a fabric pen (see pink dot in photos). Use strong thread to go through the cushion from front to back. Put the needle through the fabric to add strength to the stitch (A). Go back through the cushion to the front and pull HARD (B). Pick up a bit of fabric again, pull, and then attach your button (C).

クッションの両側、中心にマーカーで印をつけておきます(写真のピンクの丸)。前から後ろへ太い糸を通します。針を少し生地に入れると強くなります(A)。こんどは後ろから前へ糸を通し、しっかり引っ張ります(B)。また針を少し生地に通し、糸を結んでからボタンを付けます(C)。

How to make granny squares floor cushion – 座布団カバー作り方

Being half Japanese, I do like sitting on the floor a lot. This floor cushion made with a granny squares crochet insert makes it all the more comfortable.

やはり日本人ハーフ、床に座るのが好きです。このかぎ網モチーフ付きの座布団でゆったりしてます。

I picked up this granny square at Thrifttown for just $1.50!

このモチーフは古着屋でなんと$1.50でした。安すぎる!

Instructions – 作り方

Step 1

Measure your cushion and granny square. I bought a 65 cm x 65 cm cushion insert. Add 1 cm (2/5 “) seam allowance and cut 4 pieces of fabric to enclose the granny square. Ensure pieces are wide enough to overlap the granny square by at least 2.5cm (1”). Also cut 2 pieces of fabric to cover the back of the cushion. They should also have a 1 cm (2/5 “) seam allowance and overlap in the centre by 15 cm (6 “)

モチーフとクッションを計る (私は65 cm x 65 cmのクッション使用)。1cmの縫い代を付けてモチーフの周りの生地4枚をモチーフを2.5cmほどカバーできる幅に切る。クッションの裏をカバーするように、1cmの縫い代を付け真ん中が15cm重なる幅の生地を2枚切る。

Floor-cushion-granny-squares-tutorial1-------

Step 2

Right sides facing, stitch the edges of the front 4 pieces together. For the back, fold down the seam of the inner edges of the 2 back pieces and stitch.

前4枚の生地を縫う。裏の2枚は1cm中央のはしを折ってから縫う。

Floor-cushion-granny-squares-tutorial2-手編み座布団

Step 3

Place the front piece over the granny square and pin into place. Stitch the granny square on to the fabric from the right side (see below, red).

カバーの前をモチーフにかぶせてピンでとめる。カバーの表から縫う(下の赤い線)。

Floor-cushion-granny-squares-tutorial3-手編み座布団

Step 4

Right sides facing, stitch the front and back covers together. Insert the cushion and it’s finished.

カバーの表と裏を合わせて縫う。裏返してクッションを入れれば完成。

San Francisco Food Trucks Park – サンフランシスコ観光 フードトラック

Streatfood Park in Soma, San Francisco is where you can eat from many different food trucks, seven days a week.

You eat at the outdoor dining tables. There was live Latin music and it felt like we were at a festival!

外のテーブルに座って食べます。ラテン系のバンドもあってまるでお祭りのようでした。

The food trucks change everyday. It’s a fusion of cuisines like Mexican, Asian and American. The menus are so creative!

グルメなフードトラックは毎日変わるようです。メキシカンやアジアンやアメリカン、いろいろな国の食べ物の組み合わせがとても面白かったですよ。

After walking around for awhile, Dave settled on a pastrami sandwich and beer. So much pepper on the fries!

デイブはパストラミのサンドイッチとビールにやっと何度も歩きまわってから決めました。ポテトにコショウがいっぱい!

San-francisco-food-trucks-pastrami-sandwich

I went for a tofu and Char Sui pork tacos set from Kung Fu Tacos. I am obsessed wtih Mexican food since moving to San Francisco, so this was extra divine. I also had a yummy sangria with ginger in it.

私はカンフータコスで豆腐とチャーシューポークのタコスセット。しょうが入りのサングリアも飲みました。メキシカン大好きなので感動的においしかったです。
