Funky Slipcovers

Had a great time exhibiting my funky slipcovers! To the right are the laser cut fabric baskets, made with Oksana.  

Soft Sectional Slipcover

Rich blue brushed twill sectional with 11 cushions!  This sofa was very well made, the red and khaki plaid fabric underneath this slipcover had snags and worn out areas from the family dog.  Now, this sectional has a washable, heavyweight slipcover that will stand up to heavy use. 

Below, the white areas are where the back cushions were attached.  I cut them off, covered the white areas with a tan fabric, and created separate washable cushions.

Love Mitered Pillows!

The final look of a mitered pillow is always exciting for me to see.  I start with 4 triangles, the secret to getting close match is iron on tape at the angles.

Details, Tufting Firms Up Loose Cushions

Just a few interesting details to share here:

Contrast flange with pleated edges

Before tufting was added

 After Tufting was added to tighten up.I made 40 covered buttons with my button  machine (a fun tool!).

Miters, Flanges On Fresh Green Outdoor Pillows

Below, mitered pillow, mini lumbar pillows in custom size with self flange, extra long custom sized pillow with diamond pattern contrast flange on tropical print.  Knife edge cushions with contrast welt cord have custom made foam and batting wrapped inserts.  All have invisible zippers.

Miters, Flanges and More To Come

I've been working on upgrading my website, traveling a bit, taught at the Slipcover Summit, and fulfilling some gorgeous custom orders. Here are a few.
