My Winter Slipcovers

 This was another on site fitting I did for practice and I have to say I'm so happy with the way that they turned out Perfect for my winter slipcovers.   I have been meaning to get this project posted for about 5 months now, I had taken pictures of the process and lost them somewhere in my computer.

A Pair of Linen Lovely's

 I was lucky enough to get to cover these GREAT vintage chairs.   I love the shape soooo cute!

 My client went with a gorgous grey linen    raw edge ruffle on the cushions and across the back of the chair along with a ruffled skirt that leaves just a couple of inches of the beautiful wooden legs exposed.

Corset tie on the back.
Thanks for stopping.
Have a great weekend

One for the Shop

  One more for the march sale for a shop that I'm involved in  you can check them out here
 This is a great chair that my friend Susan found for me
Super solid and very comfortable! I purchased the Fabric from Here
This chair took 9 yards of fabric due to the size extra back cushion and pleated skirt.
 I love the way it turned out.

Something New "On Site Fittings"

Practice Practice Practice

This is what I have been up to lately. 

I've been working on making my business  more accessible to folks who don't have a way to get large pieces of furniture to me.... Thus  " On Site Fittings". 

 

 

Here's how it works

You purchase your fabric and have it ready for me to work with ( washed if washable ).
I come to your home with my tools.
It takes me a couple of hours to pin and fit your furniture and  take measurements for  your cushions.
I leave with the pinned fabric and measurements and return in a week or so with your completed slipcover. I do Charge 25.00 for this service.

So happy to be apart of a great shop right here in town Prairie Haven

their next sale is Dec. 5th 6th and 7th

 

They Have tons of great finds new hand made items as well as lots of great vintage items.

 I really wish I knew how to take good photo's  I am not doing justice to Jane's shop

A couple of Things...

 Here are a couple of projects that were finished a while  ago and I am just now getting them posted.   A chair for the Buffalo Nickel and a couch for a client. I love the white on the couch!  I had before shots of both of these projects that I took with my new phone now I just need to learn to get  the pics downloaded to computer!!

 Hope your summer is going well!

A New Chiar for Shannon's Mom

Have you ever had a moment of doubt?

well this was one of those times.   My sweet client brought her chair with a lightweight silky fabric that I was sure would not work. After looking at it and thinking about I told her that we needed to find new fabric but not to worry the fabric store would be happy to take it back as long as it was not washed or cut.   NOT true it was on clearance! The store was not taking it back.   Ok well lets just do our best here.   After a lot of prayer and a moment to clear my head I decided to line it with some drapery lining ( because it's was a little thicker then the muslin )

but the fabric was so slippery that I needed to get it to stick a little. This is what I used and it works really well. ( I've used it before on projects with great  results)

 and here is the after

This is a chair that will not be sat in very much so I think it will work just fine   I love the way it looks and the fabric that she chose is just beautiful.

I Had some extra time in-between projects to do a little something for myself ... dining room chairs

 The fabric that I picked was actually two 120"  white "stain resistant" table cloths from Target  I was able to get 6 dinning chairs out of the two table cloths

and here is the after.  I was able to get the six chairs out of the two table cloths because I chose not to pipe them, just a plain seam that I topstitched.  They are slightly see threw when the sun is shinning threw the window which I love because they have such a pretty design on the chair backs.

 

 

Thanks for stopping, have a great weekend

I seem to be having a hard time keeping up with my posts lately, but  it's summer and there just seems be so much to do.

 

Anyhow here is my latest Re-Creation that I snuck in between jobs. I choose a great  gray linen.

(Its for sale at The Buffalo Nickel )

 

 I wanted to try a slipcover without piping but thought it looked too plain so I added some ruffles

 and a little tie down the back.

I added ruffles only on the top of the cushion, down the seams in the on the seat back and where the skirt is attached to the body.   I did not want it to be overdone.

 here is a little peek at what she looked like before.

Thanks for stopping and have a great week!
