I made a paper pattern and using the floor as my work table, pinned the pieces to the fabric and cut. (This is the only pix as I was working...I really got into it and forgot about the camera).
Here's the finish! Pretty good! (OK, I was very smart or lucky and all the wonky iffy spots are covered by the seat cushions!)
I really like it-I like the relaxed (wrinkly) look of it. The throw pillows show the original upholstered fabric (which we are planning to change-DH is going to the US soon and will return with new fabric and then we'll have the sofa professionally reupholstered but I may still use my slipcover during the summer months-I really like it!).So if you have a chair or sofa that needs a new look...try slipcovers. If I could do it, so can you!

good for you. i hope the allergies are getting better for you
You are amazing, that is a wonderful job and I love the fabric you chose.....
I, too, like the fabric. I've never made slip covers but came real close a few times. I like the idea of having them for the summer. It does lighten the look.
The floor under the paper pattern brought back "spongeh" memories of cleaning the tile floor in my Jerusalem apartment when I was a student. For those who live outside Israel, the 4-step method for cleaning floors is a) Sweep away dirt. b) Wet the surface with soapy water and let it soak a bit. c) Push the dirty water into a drain using your "spongeh," which is basically a squeegee on a long stick. d) Go over the area again with your spongeh and a clean damp cloth.
Great job! You are so talented.
great job! it looks fantastic!
