Another Yellow Chair Slipcover Project

I know I said I was working on my

sofa slipcover,

but the truth of the matter is

that I am procrastinating. 

You see, the sofa is a really big project.

And I need to make A LOT of piping

for the sofa slipcover.

Yeah, the sofa is that yellow

floral piece next to the

little orange slipper chair 

that I bought at Goodwill last year.

And while I like the orange,

it is stained, 

worn bare in places,

and goes with not
one thing in the house.

But, I bought the chair
because I love it!

And it was only $14.99.

It is short and small
and my feet touch the floor
when I sit in it!

And I went diving into my fabric stash
and found this beautiful linen floral.

I bought this years ago
when I was working as an interior
designer for Laura Ashley stores
here in the U.S.

And before they closed the stores,
I bought this linen and the matching
yellow corded welt.

But wait!

That fabric looks familiar!

Oh yeah.

It is the same fabric that my old
yellow floral sofa is covered in.

I knew I loved it!

Did I mention that I love yellow?

And it is rainy and gray outside,
so that means that I must create
my own sunshine.

So now it is time to sketch and measure
the chair.

 I know that people make slipcovers
all kinds of ways.

But I am very mathematical in my thinking,
so it helps me to sketch
and measure when I start
the project.

I will take photos of the process
as I go and post,
so you can see how I make slipcovers.


Happy sewing!
