Im making some bench cushions for a project. I have all the measurements, and will add in an inch for the seams to the width and height and length of my material.
What I dont understand is if Im making the cushion with 4 inches of foam, then the material will compress and Ill end up with wrinkles when someone is seated. I could overfill the cushions so that even at 4 inch height, they are under a bit of compression, OR I could cut down the height so when I push in a 4 inch thick piece of foam, it has to compress some. The fabric wont stretch much as its an outdoor heavy cotton fabric. I plan on spraying it with a stain guard.
Any suggestions?
many thanks, Greg
