Jeannie working on slipcover for chair at Left |

Old vinyl-covered wing chair at Right is updated with a slipcover. Note how diamonds in fabric match up.

 |
The slipcovered chaise at Left has a custom, upholstered fit.
|

The two photos at right show how a gathered skirt can create a unique design for a simple chair. |

Side chair with short skirt. Note contrasting panels and cording. Wing chair with skirt
--gathered corners hide "Queen Anne" legs |

Many of these photos are of slipcovers that were made to fit "tight as a glove". The slipcover to the right was for a customer who wanted a very shabby look for her wing chair. To maintain the shabby style "wrinkles" were sewn into some of the seams. |

 |
This slipcover features washable cotton twill. It was dressed up with gathers at each corner--and a favorite pet! | ||||||
 |
The slipcover to the right is in a printed cotton. Good planning helped keep the pattern flowing.
Very carefull planning was required
for the plaid slipcover to the left. |

Dining room chair cover at Left required a zipper. You can see the zipper-pull of the "invisible zipper" at the tip of the arrow. |
|||||
To the right are a set of pieces slipcovered using contrasting trim made from the complementary fabric.
|
 |
 |

 |
The style of the slipcover to the left was enhanced with a double row of buttons down the back and a partially gathered skirt. |

 |
It
is actually a lot of fun to make the best possible pattern match when
taking into consideration the shape of the chair that needs to be
slipcovered. |
 |
|||||
| At
right you can see how a different fabric changed the character of this
striped sofa into something more casual. Its classy design was
maintained by keeping the slipcover short to expose the legs. |
 |
 |
|||||
 |
This rust-colored slipcover gave new life to an old bench. |
||||||
| The
cushions on this slipcovered sofa to the right look smooth because the foam and
padding were first encased in a "muslin" undercover. An
undercover also makes it easier for you to take off and replace
the cushion covers. |

 |
This
slipcover is designed to drape loosely. The pom-pom trim is
attached to the slipcover with velcro so it can be removed when washing
the slipcover. . The back features a row of buttons. |
|||||
|
Anything
is possible. The chair to the left needed some padding to cover
the wooden back. The slipcover to the rightt needed hidden
closures so that the fabric could be removed. Many of the slipcovers I make are out of plain, washable, economical fabric, but as you can see, there are virtually no limits to what can be done! |
