A square or rectangle pillow – any size
Enough fabric (preferably cotton medium weight) to make a front and back with seam allowances
Thread to match your fabric
Piping cord enough to go around the cushion pad
Pre cut bias binding tape 2.5 cm folded (approx 5 cm wide when pressed open) in a contrast colour enough to go around your cushion pad
