Slipcover Workshop Nov 6-7, 2015

October 7, 2015 by Shelley

workshop4

I’m excited to offer another slipcover workshop Nov 6-7, 2015 ! 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.

Workshop Testimonial

I did my first paid job for 2 chairs and ottoman for a neighbor, she loved them.  Bought a couch made for a slipcover at an outlet yesterday for our new house.  Busy sewing all weekend. Guess I’m hooked!
Thanks again for everything, it was a lot of fun!

DETAILS

*Nov 6 and 7th, 2015 (2 day workshop–to ensure everyone isn’t rushed and has time to finish their project)

*9am-4pm both days

*Bring a chair, pre washed fabric, thread, tape measure, scissors, quilting pins, and sewing machine with zipper foot (If you are flying in from out of state, I will provide chair and fabric for you)

*Choose a simple lined chair. I wouldn’t recommend a wingback for your first project. Wingbacks have a lot more seams and curves and are more time consuming.

*I”ll supply piping, zippers, and serger

*1st day–sew piping, pin fit, and sew main body

*2nd day–add skirt detail and sew box cushion.

*Class sized capped at 4 spots

COST

$250 (Includes lunch both days)

What you will gain from this experience

-Basic slipcovering skills

-Learn how to make piping, install zipper with ease, and complete your 1st slipcover

-Skills to recover your own stuff over and over to your hearts desire

*Workshop is for beginner to intermediate sewers–you need to be familiar and comfortable with your machine and have basic sewing skills.

Cream wingbacks

September 30, 2015 by Shelley

My client wanted to update her 90’s plaid chairs to cream wingbacks. I had some cream twill on hand that worked for what she needed!IMG_4315 BEFORE—Plaid wingbacks

IMG_4325AFTER—Cream wingbacks, we kept the legs showing.

IMG_4330These finished off her room beautifully!

Side Notes– Well it’s hunting season here in Utah and my two oldest got to go this year! Love this pic Heber took of them! They are heading out again this weekend for anterless elk tags…hopefully they get something! They’ve been watching hunting shows since April!

My youngest is super crafty and is always trying to make something out of anything else we own. He was set on making a knife blade and needed some steel–he asked if he could have the table saw blade! That was a definite NO! He settled on an old piece of skateboard rail that was kicking around. He’s been filing this thing for days!12043111_10207822759867395_478087060166646722_n
