Custom Slipcovers Made Easy

Custom Slipcovers Made Easy

It’s easy to revive an old piece of furniture whose “bones” are good but upholstery has seen better days (and in the process revamp the look of a room for a fraction of the price of buying new furniture) with the instructions in this brilliant tutorial. Custom Slipcovers Made Easy breaks down the process of makings slipcovers into a sequence of simple tasks with easy-to-follow instructions and step-by-step photography. This is great news for those of us who have frustratedly stashed our half-finished slipcover projects where we would never have to set eyes on them again! Everything you need to know is here: choosing fabrics, selecting skirt styles, determining yardage needs, constructing the slipcover shell, fitting slopes, curves and angles, and much more. And the 25 projects run the gamut from quick to complex. Beginners will want to start with one of the many Done-In-A-Day projects: covers for garden chairs and matching table cloth, seat covers, headboard and footboard covers, and even dog crate and ironing board covers. And more experienced seamstresses will appreciate the complete tutorials for custom covering upholstered furniture. You’ll love the results! Color photos. Softcover.
