~ Linen Slipcovers for Twin Beds ~

The back porch has L-shaped twin beds that we also use as a lounging area to watch TV and read...this is also the grand kid's room. I slipcovered the existing cushions with a cream cotton linen fabric. I also made six Euro pillow covers out of the same fabric for the beds.

    Karla,
    These pillows and slipcovers are so nice and so chic. It took a lot of work and maybe only someone that sews like me can appreciate all the work involved. I think they are outstanding and beautiful.

    I agree with Terry! You did a beautiful job on these. The ruffling is a ton of work. It looks very shabby chic! Following your blog now too.

    Gorgeous! I love all the ruffles. Our 13 year old son keeps telling me we should use twin beds to make a sectional sofa for the family room. Your photos are great inspiration.
