I made a cushion cover, with no cutting required!

I'd stripped the cushion of the old, extremely worn out cover somewhere in the region of a couple months ago, and finally went to toss the fabric in the bin today. I figured I'd strip off the zip to reuse it, started fossicking through my fabric stash to see if I had anything that'd fit the bill size-wise, and now I have a wicked rad pink cushion with bear-bearing scooters.
The most annoying part about this was the sewing, which I had to do by hand and do relatively small stitches because this thing'll probably take a lot of punishment. Also because I was pushing it size-wise and the seam allowances on the top and bottom of this photo are on the narrow side. I was a lazy piece of shit and the right edge is just the roughly 2x1 fabric folded against itself.
The white, still-open edge on the left was where the zip got attached. It's the selvage edge of the fabric, so it won't fray and acted as a good sturdy edge to sew the zip on.
E: I'm going to post my full craft collection at some point. Probably after lunch, and probably in a separate Hawkspace thread so we can make a game of it???

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
