Measured from bottom back edge to front bottom edge and same process for the sides to see how much fabric/seat I needed. Added in seam allowances (.5" seam allowance on home dec projects).

Used the same cardboard template (plus seam allowances) for my top pieces and then 2" strips for my edges. Made piping. Sewed it all together and stapled to the underside of the seat base.

If they are free-standing/removable cushions, you will need to put a zipper into the back of the edge/side pieces to insert the foam cushion.
Yes, they are free standing cushions. Thank you for all the detailed advice...great to know.
