Look at this gorgeous slipcover for Nester's sectional! There is no way I would've been able to do this without all the lovely gals that jumped in and sewed there little hearts out!
We started out with a little coffee, brunch and chit chat.
I really didn't need to show these girl's much...they can sew y'all. Tracey brought her serger and was the belle of the ball! She even showed us how to cut on the bias. I know. Bias?
So we sewed! I pinned the frame along with some help from Carrie and Jennifer. I featured Jennifer a couple of weeks ago on Friday's Featured Slipcovers. She just slipped her sofa. Carrie road tripped with me to Nester's...she's also my fairy blog mother.
Ellen, Lily, Kim, Jennifer, Alisan, Tracey, Nester, Tracy, Me and Carrie. {not pictured - Tiny Twig} We had a blast! It was so much fun and everyone was so nice and welcoming! I loved being a part of this!
To make your own Custom Slipcover...
Soooo nice!! You gals look great and the slipcover is fabulous! Lots of great inspiration! Y'all rock! Vanessa
ReplyDeleteOk, now head on over to my house because I need one of those for my sectional! I love how everyone got together to do this, what a great group of girlfriends. I think the wine helped a little too!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the color of your wall where your couch is?
It really turned out great! How long did it take to complete? I think you should all start a side business. The traveling band of slipcovering fairies! Florida sounds like a good first stop.
ReplyDeleteWell, this just pushes me one step closer to getting my sofa started...beautiful job!!! Feel free to use my sofa for your next tutorial,ha...I'll barter design services to get out of sewing it!!!
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe we did it! Your confidence was all we needed, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI so loved meeting you! Thanks so much for putting up with all of our questions. It was quite the job but I think Nester had the right idea.
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous!! What fabric did you use???
ReplyDeleteThe slipcover looks awesome! Such a great idea for a girls get together too!
ReplyDeleteAnita,
ReplyDeleteIt didn't take that long at all...with everyone helping. Seriously everyone just jumped in and started sewing. We started around 10ish an finished around 4 or 5ish!
Audra,
ReplyDeleteI think it was a white cotton duck. Run over and ask her.
That's it.
ReplyDeleteCome on over, I have a sectional ready for you to slipcover.
;)
Oh my. You're such a lucky girl to get all that help. Looks like you have a great bunch of friends there.
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely!! Great job girl!
ReplyDeleteYou were such a great leader! It was great meeting you all, I had a great time!
ReplyDeleteHow much fabric did it take to cover the sofa? I have the same shape/size sectional and I have been contemplating slipcovering mine. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour inspiration gave us all the motivation and your laid back attitude made us feel fearless! You are awesome! I can't wait to do it again!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome job! I have a question about the white cotton duck...I can only find it online and all directions say 'dry clean only' is it safe to machine wash? Does it shrink? Thanks so much!!!
