Natural Brushed Canvas Sofa Slipcover

My customer wanted a fresh new look that would be easier to decorate around.  She chose this beautiful natural brushed canvas.  Now she can decorate with colorful pillows and change the look with the seasons. 
 The before sofa had attached back cushions and my customer chose to not mimic the original upholstery.  The end result turned out very nice.  I did nothing extra under the slipcover.


Above you can see the side scroll before and after.
Below are more before and afters.

Slipcover for Leather Sofa

My customer wanted a slipcover for her leather Arhaus sofa. The leather was wearing out and she wanted a change.  She chose an olive brushed denim and she finished it off with a knife pleat skirt. I pre-washed the fabric in HOT water and dried in the HOT setting.

I copied the original design on the inside back with cording.

This picture from Pinterest was the inspiration for the knife pleat skirt.

Textured Slipcover

This is a very well made sofa and the cushions were in great shape. Merri Karp was the Interior Consultant on this job and asked me to make the sofa slipcover. I LOVE the fabric she chose. The pattern popped and showed a beautiful texture after it was washed. The customer loved it and said it looked very inviting.  I wish I had a before picture of this room.  Merri did an amazing job with the room and I recommend her if you need help with your decorating decisions. She will help you with furniture placement, picking out paint colors and fabrics and she does window treatments. 

Here is her info- Merri Karp 440-891-0208 or you can email her at bereafish@roadrunner.com .

Sorry about the poor quality of this photo.  I didn't forget my camera this time but I did forget the memory card Ugghhhh.  So I ended up taking the picture with my phone.
Here is a another picture showing more of the room. Again, sorry about the quality.  This couple loves to collect antiques and Merri helped them incorporate them beautifully into the room.

Brushed Canvas Chair and a half Slipcover

I do not have a before picture of this chair 1/2 but it was green and the back cushion was floppy. My customer ordered a cushion wrap for her back cushion and it is good as new. The brushed canvas makes a soft and snuggly slipcover and it gets softer with each washing.
I pre-wash all fabrics in HOT water and dry on a HOT setting to remove the maximum shrinkage before I begin constructing the slipcover.

Red Wing Slipcover

It has been a long time since I posted new pictures of my work.  During the Christmas rush I kept forgetting to bring my camera to the customer's home.


This was a great transformation from before to after.  The slipcover done in a red denim has breathed new life into this old girl.   The extra scrolls on the front of the wings is a great detail and posed quite a challenge combined with the attached back cushion. I am really happy with the results.


My calendar is quickly filling up.  As of today I am booking into the middle of June.
