I have a couch with two wedge-shaped foam bolsters and I would like to
cover them.Can anyone tell me where I can get a pattern to do this? Or
can give me instructions how to measure and make my own pattern.
I'm a newbie here and would appreciate some help.
Thanks

Best way is to cut one of the existing pillows open on the seams. Just run
a razor blade along the ditch of the seam. Then you have a perfect pattern
for recovering your pillows. ;) Once all the pieces of the old one are cut
apart from each other, just press and use those like you would a paper
pattern.
