DIY Slipcover Workshops

 If you have 8-10 hours any two days in a row and an ample amount

of space to host you and up to 3 of your friends who are also

wanting to learn how to make slipcovers, then you have a

DIY Slipcover Workshop!

Here's how our Slipcover Workshops work:

WORKSHOP: Workshops are 2 days long. (2 days should be long enough for everyone to get their project finished) .
Day 1 will be making pattern and seam finishes (welt cord or French flange), cutting, serging and sewing Inside and Outside backs, Inside and Outside arms and the deck.
Day 2 will be cutting and attaching the skirt and cutting and making the seat box cushions (if applicable).

ROLL CALL: It can be only you, or you and up to 3 of your friends.

FURNITURE: You must choose a very simple chair, one with straight lines, with or without seat cushion. No attached back cushions and NO WING BACKS for first project. The chair must be small and light enough for you to comfortably transport it to and from as well as move around it as you make the slipcover.
