Making a padded piano seat cover is much like making a large pillow except the piano seat cover will be flatter. You can make a seat cover to sit on top of the bench, or you can choose to attach the padded seat cover to the piano bench with a strap. The style of color of fabric you choose doesn't matter, but it important that the stuffing you buy is the same quality of a quilt.

  • Calculate the surface area of the piano bench by measuring the length and width of the top of your piano bench and multiplying the two numbers.

  • Buy enough material for double the surface area of the piano bench plus 4 inches. Fold the material in half so that the back of the material is facing out.

  • Sew the length of the material and one end. Flip the material inside right so the material is now facing out with one end still open.

  • Stuff the padding into the fabric sleeve.

  • Fold the open end of the material in and iron the seam . Then sew that end of the material closed.

  • Cut two strips of material 4 inches wide and long enough to wrap across the top of the piano bench and around the bottom.

  • Fold each side the strip in 1 inch, and iron the seam to hold it. This should create a 2 inch wide strap. Sew the edges of the straps.

  • Lay the straps across the bottom of the pad you made so that the pad is in the center of the strap then sew the straps in place.

  • On one end of each strap cut and hem a button hole. On the other end of each strap, sew a button.

  • Put the pad on the bench so that the straps are hanging down then button the straps under the bench to keep the pad from moving.
