Menswear Plaid slipcovers - Slipcovers by Shelley

These slipcovers were for a neighborhood friend that is a midwife. She is setting up a birthing suite for her business. The red couches weren’t working for her, so we headed to the fabric store to pick out fabric. I LOVE the fabric store!

Couches–BEFORE

COUCHES—AFTER–She wanted something cozy, but fresh and updated. We found this great menswear type plaid.

They only had 29 yds left of the plaid (I wanted 34 yds)–so we chose a solid light blue for the piping. Ideally I wanted 30 yds without the piping, but I thought I could make it work. It was TIGHT!!! I was still able to match all the vertical stripes and most of the horizontal.

I did use duck cloth on the decking to save fabric. I also had to use it on the zipper section of the seat cushions (it doesn’t show)—There was nothing left!

The chair we chose this great textured cream chenille fabric—so soft and cozy and inviting!

Oops—I just realized the right cushion needs to be flipped over so the horizontal stripes on the front of the cushion line up.

She was still working on some painting when I brought these back. Look how cute those kitchen chairs and table are going to be.

What a great place to come for prenatal care appts!

Side Note–
