It's finally finished!
Pay no attention to the pillows. They are just random ones gathered from other rooms of the house. I am still searching for the perfect pillow fabric.
I have to say I am really happy with how this slipcover turned out. I have learned so much in the last few months about sewing, cutting, piping and hemming. It's been all trial and error and experimentation, but I've really enjoyed the process. I know I have a lot more to learn. This is only my second slipcover, so I can only imagine that I will learn more and more as I continue to work on new projects.
If you are a beginner sewer and nervous about slipcovering, don't be! You will make mistakes, but they can all be fixed. Your seam ripper might become your best friend, but that's OK. ;)
Here's the back. My favorite part of my chair slipcover was the bows in the back so I decided to do that again with the couch. LOVE!
I feel like I should remind you what this ugly ol' thing looked like before...

Thanks for following along for my slipcover adventures! I hope you learned something along the way and I hope you try your very own slipcover soon! If you do, I would love to see your results or help you if you have questions!

Oh Alima! It looks so nice and pretty! You did it, girl, and I bow to your powers...
ReplyDeleteI'm trully impressed and no way I have the courage for such a big project but I'm growing the idea of doing a sleepcover to my home office chair.
Enjoy and Cheers!

AMAZING. Can't wait to read all about it. You did a wonderful job!!!!!!! I've definitely decided to go that route, so now I'm just looking for an older sofa with cool lines. LOVE this. Major props to you!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! It looks fabulous!! Quite an accomplishment! Now will you be on call for me when I get around to tackling my sofa?
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the nice comments ladies!
ReplyDelete@Teresa - definitely give your office chair a try! Just have fun with the process!
@Paula - definitely give it a try! Watch Miss Mustards Seeds video tutorial and just do your best! Maybe even try a prototype with cheap fabric first if you are nervous.
@Leslie - start tackling! I am ready to help and answer questions! :)
Great job! Mom must be so proud.
ReplyDeleteI love the couch. Want to come help me cover my awful overstuffed leather furniture hand-me-downs? They would be so much better in a pretty neutral!
Thanks so much for sharing. This is nothing shy of AMAZING! I cannot sew and wish I could. I even own a machine I inherited and have no idea how to use it. ;)
ReplyDeleteSaw your guest tutorial about your slipcovered chair {love the fabric} and am inspired and in awe!
I'm a new follower of yours now.

I popped over from Perfectly Imperfect's linky party! Looks fabulous!!! I just recently sewed my first slipcovers (sette and couch) and it was so worth it. I agree Miss Mustard Seed's videos are great! I was ready to go after watching them. And mine are dropcloth and have washed up great several times already!!!!
