Square cushion measures 65 cm by 65cm and 10 cm thick. I got help of the measurements from 1:20 scale to 3.25 by 3.25 by .5cm I drew out and labeled them. I need help with the next step.


The square cushion is made of 3 component parts a top bottom and sides. Draw the cushions component parts to scale and label them with their measurements. Each edge piece of fabric will need a seam allowance of 1.5cm added before the components are drawn.

What measurements do I use when drawing and how do I figure this out? Thank you in advance if you can help me!

To draw the component parts of the square cushion, you would need to use the following measurements:

1. Top and Bottom:
- Length: 3.25 cm (from the scale) + 1.5 cm (seam allowance) = 4.75 cm
- Width: 3.25 cm (from the scale) + 1.5 cm (seam allowance) = 4.75 cm

So, when drawing the top and bottom components, you would draw a square with sides measuring 4.75 cm.

2. Sides:
- Length: 65 cm (actual measurement) / 20 (scale) = 3.25 cm (in the scale)
- Width: 10 cm (actual measurement) / 20 (scale) = 0.5 cm (in the scale)

To account for the seam allowance, you would add 1.5 cm to the length of each side piece, making it 4.75 cm.

So, when drawing the side components, you would draw rectangles measuring 4.75 cm in length and 0.5 cm in width.

Make sure to label each component with their measurements (e.g., Top: 4.75 cm x 4.75 cm, Sides: 4.75 cm x 0.5 cm) to ensure accuracy in the construction process.

Remember that these measurements are based on the given scale and seam allowance you mentioned, so it's crucial to double-check if they match your specific requirements before proceeding.
