zafu cover ....

Does anyone have a sewing pattern for a zafu cover? And the zabuton?
My cushions are on rotation right now between family members and I really want to have a cover to wash and remove. I have seen the ones online....but they're more than I want to spend. If you have a homemade pattern or know of a pattern online...please share. Thanks so much!

This design allows for portability (have Mind, will travel) and comes with an inbuilt on hook storage device. Please do not use where sitting on Buddhas face might cause offence . . . or turn inside out . . .
I love it! I would have a cute pile of pillows when they get returned.
The fit looks a bit off. My Mr. Cushy is round. hahaha
Make a zafu.
@Vastmind
Just a thought!
If you are thinking about a Zafu cover that you'd leave on to sit on, you might find the fabric slide between the zafu and it's cover a bit of a hassle.
Folks sitting on the front edge of the Zafu to help rock the pelvis forward or trying to ease the falling asleep of the legs from circulation pressure, would probably find the cover sliding instead of having their ass staying where they wanted it.
Zabuton covers though with a side zipper are great.
I see what you mean. The bottom cover will be better than nothing.
I still think I can make an additional cover with a zipper. I would just need
to make it tight enough. So....after some years, you just buy another one?
Or empty the shells in another case? Lately, I actually have liked stacking two square ones...a smaller on top of the bottom, and sitting like that.
Ok..so the sewing dept and I have had a couple of meetings and have a rough pattern. hahaha. I'll post pics. The first one I'm doing will be for a 23 x 23 sitting square and will be in gray. This square is filled w/ cotton. I have 3 other shapes and fillings of cushions so.... I'll share what I find out. ..... and create.

It is funny how Zabutons do seem to wear our where zafu's seldom do.
Kapoc is usually a more resilient filler than cotten.
(Cheater tip..Old lifejackets can be a cheap source of kapoc)
My Mom beat me to the punch.... hahaha.
She got a cover done and sent it to me in the mail! ..

Thank you! I love it! It has 4 snaps...and fits snug!.
