Measure your grill starting from the top, across and length-wise. Then measure the sides, front and back. Provide extra inches for seam allowance. Remember that the canvas cover need not be an exact fit. By keeping it little loose fitting, it will be easier to slip on and off.

Step 2
Transfer your measurement onto a piece of paper and label each side carefully.

Step 3
Using pattern paper, trace the shape of your barbecue grill. You can also use cheese cloth as patter so that you can easily mold it to the shape of your grill. Use pins or a tailor’s chalk to mark the main points.

Get a big needle that can fit into your sewing machine, preferably gauge #18 or #20.

Step 10
Find a one-ounce cone of V-69 or V-92 Z-twist polyester fiber thread in which to put the pieces together. You cannot use plain thread as it is not strong enough to hold the pieces together. The fiber thread will provide added strength that can prevent from ripping apart.
