Today's
slipcovers are not your grandmothers. Today's slipcovers make
a decorating statement.
You have many options when
creating a custom slipcover. |
|
Here are a few:
- Wide variety of fabrics to chose from.
- You can use solids and prints on the same piece of furniture.
- Or mix and match solid and prints on separate pieces
- Have slipcovers made for the holidays - there are many holiday prints
to chose from - Check out your local fabric store or one of our
sponsors listed on this site for Christmas prints or for any
other holiday event.
- You can use coordinating cording on your piece.
- Do you have a old quilt or chenille bedspread you would like to use?
- Get creative. The possibilities are endless!!
|
Why should you have a
slipcover made?
- Hide worn out, faded, or dirty fabric.
- Protect furniture from children and pets.
- Slipcovers can be cleaned!!
- More affordable than re-upholstery.
- You can change the look of your room as often as you want. Some people
have Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter slipcovers made.
- Keep up with the latest decorating trend without spending a fortune.
|
What kind of furniture can be slipcovered?
- Almost any sofa, loveseat, or chair. With attached backs or loose
back.
- Parson Chairs - one of my favorites!
- Stools, folding chairs, outdoor furniture coverings.
- If you have a question about your piece - call or e-mail me.

Recliners and sofa-recliners cannot be
slipcovered properly. A special process is involved when slipcovering
recliners - while it can be done, they do not look nice nor fit well - in
my opinion - so I choose not to do them. I will slipcover a recliner
or sofa-recliner only if you do not want the piece to function as a
recliner. If you would like more information e-mail me or call. |
| FYI - Plastic slipcovers are terrible for
your furniture. You think you are protecting your fabric, but
this is not true. The plastic actually prevents the fabric from breathing
- this causes the fabric to become brittle - basically causing dry rot.
So opt for a beautiful fitted slipcover - that you can have dry cleaned
AND that will help protect the fabric and furniture underneath. |

This is
how I get a perfect fit; I come to your
home and cut and pin the slipcover to your
piece of furniture. Then I take the fabric
with me and sew it in my shop. In a week
or two I come back with your slipcover and
install it onto your piece of furniture.
It's that easy.
I do not
make slipcovers from measurements. The
reason is that it is difficult at best to
get the desired fit. I tend to be very
picky about how my slipcovers fit so I
only make them from the actual piece of
furniture as my guide.

I do not
offer online pricing for slipcovers. This
is because each slipcover is different and
when I give you a labor cost I want it to
be correct...so call me and I will be
happy to discuss your unique piece of
furniture and give you a labor cost.

I do not
sell fabric.
You can purchase fabric at any local
fabric store or from many online stores.
I would recommend visiting a local
store, that way you are sure of the
exact color and quality of the fabric.
You can
visit my
Fabric
Calculator or give me a call or send
me an e-mail and I will be happy to help
you determine how much fabric you need.
