I used tissue paper to make a pattern,
cut out the pre-shrunk duck fabric and started sewing.
I used a 1/2" seam allowance.

A tuck here and there and the slipcover fit.
I used Velcro to connect the arm sleeves and made support straps
out of the duck fabric to hold the slipcover in place.
Remember to pre-wash the fabric before sewing.
Now the room is looking lighter with the light color slipcover!!!
At a later date I decided to add a monogram. My last initial is R so the ladies designed this mirrored
R monogram for me. I took this slipcover and a linen pillow to these two experienced monogram
ladies. They monogrammed the back of the slipcover instead of the front and
also monogrammed the wrong side of the linen pillow!!!!
I needless to say was a little upset they had ruined two projects.
I had to add the ruffle to the now wrong side of the slipcover to make it large enough for
the front of the chair. I was never able to fix the pillow.
I will say the monogram is beautiful!!!
I hope you will join me on Instagram and Facebook
and stop by my Lady Butterbug Shoppe in McKinney, TX. when you can!!!
I love the chair. Perfect to my new condo. :)
