How to Make a Backrest Cushion for an RV Dinette

In this tutorial video, we will be making a seat backrest cushion for an RV dinette using the traditional box cushion approach. However, instead of having boxing that is seamed together at each corner we will use a continuous boxing, which is actually easier to sew and looks
great. Where the boxing joins up with the zipper plaque boxing there is a neat little pocket for the slider to zip and tuck into. This cushion also includes two snap-on straps to help keep the cushion from moving.
