My client wanted to change her much loved cream denim chair to a blue denim slipcovered chair. We decided to add a skirt to change it up. I think it turned out great! She loved it so much, so went and bought more denim to do her couch before they move. Heber’s picking the couch up for me tomorrow!
Before—much loved worn out arms.
AFter!

My client wanted a red floral chair. Cottage floral and gathered skirt. Her mom graciously paid for the new slipcover for her Christmas gift! I also made a set of arm pads to help with the wear and tear.
Somehow I forgot to get a before pic…so here’s a screen shot from my instagram account. To follow me on instagram search “slipcovershelley”.
AFTER!!! The shape was perfect for a slipcover! And the fabric shaped beautifully. The fabric was by Covington.
SIDE NOTE–We are on to experience a new adventure! We are in the process of buying a BYU approved housing Condo as a rental. It will be available to rent starting spring/summer term 2015! It’s a girls unit and will accommodate 3 girls (all private rooms). I’ll post more info and pics once we close. I’ve been slipcovering and shopping for furnishings! Can’t wait to install and get it all decorated!
I am so excited to be offering my first hands on slipcover workshop!
I have 15 years of slipcovering experience and would love to show you some tricks of the trade, whether you are interested in making your own slipcovers or aspire to start your own business at some point.
