Slipcovers for our Couch and Love Seat

Yaayy!

For fabric sales 

I found 7 meters for about $35

and 13 meters for about $100.

 The french script fabric is lovely

but expensive so I only got 1 meter

which pushed my creativity.

:)

I have been wanting to slipcover

this couch and a love seat

for some time now. I had to work out a plan

of how I could make the fabric work together and not 

look like I ran out.

With the 13 meters I had just enough to complete this one couch,

very little left over...phew!

It is a thick fabric and I dont know if you can tell but it

has a wonderful grey undertone, yum!

I am so happy with it! It needs a little altering

on the seat cushions, but I couldnt wait 

to post pictures.

The "right" side of the love seat fabric was

really yellow once I brought it home and

under our living room lighting. Not wanting 

any yellow in the living room,

 I flipped it over and used the "wrong"

side.  I do that a lot, use the wrong side.

:)

 It was a  ton of pinning, cutting, basting and serging....

I did a little painting,

trying to industrialize it and

give the love seat some grey to 

work with the couch tones.

I used a little of the french fabric

to cover the lampshade, but it was super painful to 

cut it..:\

Happy Friday
