I am interested in the slip covers that you made for your wing back chair. I need to recover three chairs and I am not very good at sewing. If you are inexperienced at sewing, do you think it can still be done. I have done a few quilts but nothing like slipcovers. Does that book help?vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15599377.post-44777073999010914912008-10-20T15:50:00.000-05:002008-10-20T15:50:00.000-05:00you are so talented, i can't even sew for toffeeyou are so talented, i can't even sew for toffeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15599377.post-79413699937279193662008-10-06T21:32:00.000-05:002008-10-06T21:32:00.000-05:00Hope your father is feeling better.

I have a lovely old chair I found at a thrift shop years ago, I would love to try and make a slipcover for it. Right now I have a vintage white damask tablecloth draped over it. <BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>PaulaPaulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955769851619781088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15599377.post-84423524579231940282008-10-01T13:14:00.000-05:002008-10-01T13:14:00.000-05:00Deb...the slipcovers are impressive.

I have one and it's cracked and just a mess. We now have mexican blankets thrown and tucked all over it. I'm looking for a 2nd had piece to replace it with (we've already replaced the loveseat, with a recliner. ugh) but haven't found anything yet. Thinking of trying to recover it but... I'm thinking it would look too lumpy and strange. Thoughts?<BR/>Thanks!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09273756949983982912noreply@blogger.com
