Description
Are you ready to take your sewing skills to the next level?
Learning to sew slipcovers is a fabulous way to redecorate your home without buying new furniture. These slipcovers are custom made to exact fit, not like the general one size fits all slipcovers that you find online.
Don’t be intimidated by the size of the task. If you are a seasoned sewist, slipcovers are basic shapes and straight seams. This course covers two common chairs: a wing chair and a more basic boxy chair. Two different methods are demonstrated. One method is to make templates for each facing of the chairs, the other is to pin fit every piece and sew.
Slipcovers can be sewn specifically to fit your taste. You can opt to sew on a skirt or have a tight base. For chairs with charming wooden legs, you can opt to keep the skirt short, to showcase the beauty of the legs. The possibilities are endless.
Materials needed include:
· 5/32” cotton filler cord for piping
· Fabric suitable for slipcovers
· Bulk zipper
· Nylon or heavy-duty thread
· All-purpose thread
· Sewing Machine
· Sewing Machine Needles (size 16 or 18)
· Pins (longer quilting pins are preferred)
· A chair to slipcover
