Muted Fall Fabric Slipcover.

Fun Fall Chair for the Hog Shed using a fun muted fall fabric. This is what the chair looked like before it's Re-Creation,

 This is a great outdoor fabric from P Kaufman  It washes up beautifully and is a great weight
fabric to work with for slipcovers. They really are making great outdoor fabric these days
its so nice and soft not that plasticie feel that it used to have.

 A simple back this time with just a zipper up the side  and a simple kick pleat skirt.

and some pillows inspired by this fabric that will also be available at  the Hog Shed's September sale
The Pillows are made using recycled wool blankets!

Another Slipcover and a Confession.

Well here is the Slipcover that I just finished for a sweet client and yes it was another one of those projects done with fabric that was toooooo thick I mean it worked but boy are my hands and back sore when I finished up with This project. Oh well its done and my client was happy with the end result. Don't you just want to curl up in that chair? Oh yeah and for the confession.... I SUCK at kick pleats! or at least I did, I could never get them even I would pin and measure and pin and measure bit since I don't have a walking foot that I can use with piping, things would always shift and never end up where I wanted them and with kick pleats you really need them right where you need them.
Well let me just tell you that this is no longer a problem for me because of these sweet little babies

yup, Angie over at Sew it Yourself Slipcovers has the perfect tool! it worked like a dream.

I just cut my skirt out in one long strip and then pleated as I came to my corners. Perfect perfect!! I cant wait to try these out on a knife pleated skirt.

Thank you Angie you are a genius!
