First of all, I fell in love with this fabric! I love the turquoise,mustard and gray together. Since there was no cushion on the seat I had to do tuck in around the seat. I also ended up using velcro on the bottom edges of the slipcover to hold it down and keep the concave curve on the front of the chair. If that makes sense.

Sorry these pics are in my garage and not in my clients beautiful home, but my fabulous husband is dropping this off for me. So if I wanted a pic I had to do it before he left. I can’t expect him to do my drop off and take pictures for me too.

My client has had this chair forever and it has been reupholstered quite a few times. This time she decided to have it slipcovered in a chocolate brown cotton fabric. We did a box pleat skirt all the way around the bottom and let the legs show. She said she’ll probably paint the legs cream to create more of a contrast with the brown fabric. I loved the idea, I am sure it’ll look great.

My client was debating on choosing a different fabric for this ottoman, because she wasn’t sure about the stripes. So I held off on starting it for a few days, to see what she decided. As I was working one day, it dawned on me that we could do 4 triangles and sew and X seam and make the stripes match up to look like a square. I loved the idea and was excited to share it with my client….she said she trusted me and to go for it.

We used the dark brown stripe in the fabric for the piping, and decided to make the very center part of the dark stripe rather than the light section. The ottoman was perfectly square, so our plan worked and I love the way it turned out….stripes with out being stripes.
