This very confusing video talks about how to measure the sides.
Originally, the videos were only meant for my personal viewing in a few years, so I made them to jog my own memory.
However...
First, this cushion is not a "normal" cushion with a front. That is why the top fabric and the bottom fabric match exactly. This is why we are also creating all 4 sides. This cushion was a corner cushion in the pilot house. The other cushions had the top fold over to create one of the sides - the front side.
This cushion used 2 long pieces of fabric for the sides. Each long piece covered 2 sides.
The question was "how long to cut each long piece?" The answer was that you still only give 1/2" allowance for "every edge". Rounding a corner did not change the fact that every edge is simply given 1/2" allowance. It is hard to understand that watching the video. It really was not that hard and could have been explained better. Sorry.
If in doubt, cut a scrap sheet and tack it to the fabric to see if the measurements will work.
