How to make Slipcovers

The look is so hot, slipcovers are featured on almost every decorating show! Learn how to slipcover a sofa or armchair. Clear steps and detailed instructions, makes it just about impossible for the slipcovers not to turn out. Just Stop, Watch, and Do! Whether you are a sewer or not, straight stitching is all you do so no special skills are needed. Also included: covering cushions beautifully, how to make 30 yards of bias strips for piping from just l yard of fabric.

Two questions are asked most about slipcovers. Can I really do the job or am I going to find out half way through that it’s not working out? Is this a big job? We reply, ‘How many slipcovers would you like to make before you get it right?’ Of course the first slipcover should be custom quality.

This is too large a project and with the cost of fabric, you don’t want to find out at the end that the slipcover looks ‘home made’. With our stop-watch-and do method on video, as well as pinning and fitting to the chair at each step, it’s pretty well impossible for the slipcover NOT to turn out! To answer the second question, it does take awhile to complete a slipcover project. There’s a reason they charge $800.00 labour. Just be realistic in pacing yourself and in a short while you’ll have a spectacular new look.

What Susan has to say . . .
Trying to read instructions for slipcovers is just about impossible, but with watching me you can follow step by step. This is too big an investment in time and money to find out half way through the project is going to look “home made”. You’ll appreciate the detailed information and see how our methods ensure a perfect fit as you go, NO surprises at the end. The comment I hear over and over goes something like, “Susan, I was nervous at first but it’s just like you said, as you follow along, it turns out for sure!

Slipcovers aren’t technically difficult to make but I will say that making a slipcover takes time since it is a big project. Knowing that, you can work on it bit by bit.
Having a slipcover made would cost you at least $800.00 labour. Purchased slipcovers fit baggy and never look good. How can someone else know the unique shape of your chair? A professional fitted slipcover, sewn by you, will create a stunning look that will amaze your friends.

“I was worried when I first purchased the video and book if I’d actually be able to do the project. Well, it was just like you said. If you stop, watch and do, it will work out for sure”
Tonia Clark

“I appreciated that you were honest that the slipcovers take awhile to do. It helped me pace myself and not get discouraged. You were right though, watching the video makes it impossible for the slipcover not to turn out!”
Michelle Graham

“My couch is so beautiful! Of course it would never have paid to have had it redone professionally, but I got the look by doing it myself”
