How To Make Slipcovers

How to make slipcovers - easy or not?

If you want to learn how to make slipcovers, you should be aware that making your own slipcovers can be costly and time-consuming. What was intended to be a "weekend job" can easily take three weeks or more, and there are no guarantees that your slipcover will fit properly! But, if you have decided that you do want to learn how to make slipcovers, these are the things you will want to consider.

The first thing you should do is to decide on a color scheme. This should be done before you look at fabrics. The next thing you will want to consider is how the colors you have chosen blend in with drapes and decorative items you have chosen for your room. Third, choose fabric, if you have children and pets, choose close knitted fabrics for slipcovers, making sure the material is heavy and durable for the chair.

During the construction of the slipcovers, you will have to pin the material on the chair to make sure it fits. The next step is to figure out how much fabric you will need. Once you have purchased the material, cut out rectangles of the material, and lay them right side down and pin it with seams facing outwards. Allow for seams that need to be sewed.

Now sew each seam, and go back and fit it on the chair to check the fit, then go on to the next area in that section. Stitch the seams in the order that you measured and fitted them. Repeat these steps for all sections of your chair, making sure you lay the rectangles on the chair and pin the seams of the sections together and sewing each curve and corner separately as you go.

If all this seems tricky, rememeber that once you have learned how to make slipcovers, and gained experience, all the above steps will go more quickly.
