Ruffles
A great couch for a favorite client, she wanted a relaxed fun ruffly slipcover for a great couch that she found recently. A perfect fit for her Florida home with frayed ruffles around all of the cushions as well as on the skirt
yes that's right no hemming just leave it raw and let it fray out I love the way that it turned out and love love love the back. I think its the perfect contrast to the rufflie front
and I got to work with one of my favorite fabrics, linen its just my all time favorite to work with
A wider shot of the back before I finalized the back. oh and wooden buttons for the closures beautiful!
Note: lots of trial runs on this one as I did not know how everything would work with leaving the ends to fray so I ended up making up little sample pieces and washing them lots of extra little stringies after the first washing as expected but very few on the second washing so it was a go. As for the wooden buttons on the back they were marked " dry clean only " so I tested one out in the wash before I used them on the slipcover I washed as normal on a scrap of the linen hot water bleach dried in he dryer the whole works I wanted to make sure the buttons would not discolor the fabric and that they would hold up to the harshest laundering ... and yup they did great.
Thanks for stopping and have a great week

LOVE IT!!!
Great job and I love the back details too.
This is about the cutest, shabby look on a couch I have seen! You did a great job.
So very pretty!
Gorgeous! Love the added touch on the back of the sofa too.
I love the idea of the raw edge ruffles! I never thought to try that. And the back on this sofa is amazing. You really took it several notches above the average slipcover. Beautiful job!
that is absolutely beautiful! I used white linen to make a slip cover for my sofa as well. I love it but it is not as gorgeous as yours.
