WELCOME TO SLIPCOVERS, ETC

This is an elaborate table cover in two layers. The ruched ruffle at the hem of the underneath cover was quite a challenge as the cover was so large. The top cloth has an inset of the alternate fabric and then a binding added to the edge as you would see on a quilt.


This chaise was covered in white canvas to give it a "summer feel". It was a challenging project because of the extended front and the pleats all the way around the skirt.



This slipcover was made from outdoor fabric which is fade resistant and water repellant. It was used for the sofa slipcover in a summer rental property to provide durability.


This loveseat has been slipcovered using a Painter's Drop Cloth. The drop cloth was washed and dried to remove the sizing in the fabric and pre-shrink it. The look is very simple and the slipcover is very serviceable as it is fully washable and bleachable if stains occur. Also, drop cloths are very inexpensive.

I will profile other projects I have completed in future postings. I will be starting a new project in my shop and will feature the work progression on my blog. Please feel free to give me feedback on my postings and projects. I enjoy the work I am doing very much and am eager to share it with you. Bye for now......
