Slipcovers by Shelley

Washable velvet slipcover

by

My client wanted a washable velvet slipcover, and while we were at it she wanted taller back cushions that were more in scale with the LARGE couch.IMG_5394Couch–BEFORE

IMG_5395 Couch–AFTER! We kept the same lines as the original and did no piping. I finished off the seams with a topstitch.

I also kept the waterfall skirt like the original. 1.5″ blind hem.

IMG_5401This sofa slipcover was commissioned by Harker Design in SLC. They have a great showroom, and very talented designers. I’ve worked with them on several occasions, if you need a designer check them out.

Side Notes–

#1- I may be crazy! I just signed up for a 32mile trail race with my girls! This isn’t a relay! We all run 32 miles in the mountains of Park City.

#2- My oldest son got to run in the Medley relay at State last weekend. He ran the 800m portion. He was so excited to be able to compete. I love sitting and watching the meets. Fresh air, kids giving it their all, finishing strong, and huge beautiful mountains to look at. I am so proud of how hard he’s worked this year. He holds the sophmore record at his school for the 2 mile race. 13256070_10209548282284377_7102727306300483520_n

#3–Heber got the lights back up on the deck at the cabin. We are still renting it out for $50/night, and you clean up and change linens before you leave. I’ve still got lots of dates available for the summer. Email me if you want to book a few nights.

#4–The beginning of this year, I was overly concerned about setting goals to make things happen for this year. Just 5 months later, I realized I shouldn’t have been so concerned. Things come up and get done and happen because of overall BIGGER life goals that I think about on a weekly basis, instead of just in January.

It’s funny how things happen and fall into place when we FOCUS on it. Everything seems to revolve around it, in my neurotic mind. I was concerned I wouldn’t have anything to show for this year…ha! How do I still not know myself?? Now I can relax…We remodeled the dining room, and I paid off our BYU Condo Rental this month!

    • I can only do local work to Salt Lake City/ Orem, Utah. If you are local, yes I make slipcovers to order.

  3. I would like to buy your DVD but I need to know if I need to have a serger in order to make slipcovers before making a purchase. Thank you.

    • No you don’t need a serger. It definitely makes it nicer, but you can trim and zig zag the seams or use pinking shears. So sorry! I just saw these questions!

  4. Question – if I mailed you my existing slipcovers,could you use these as a reference to make new slipcovers? Thanks again.
