Super easy slipcover

Do you remember our free loveseat I picked up last week? Well this is it now!


The pictures via iPhone are not really giving it much justice.





I whipped up this slipcover from a brown jersey sheet bought for $1.35.







Have a great day!

Tuesday...I sew rad slipcover


A couple of years ago my husband and I lived in a little town outside Philly. When I was around 7 months pregnant all I wanted was to decorate my house. That pretty much involved a few trips to the Ikea in Philly.


I purchased two couches from Ikea that don't come with slipcovers. They are white muslin, so of corse they need a cover asap. The other day I purchased this amazing fabric for a ridiculous $.75 a yard.I started measuring my arms and adding two inches. My last slip cover and first attempt the seams split from use and from short seam allowances. So this time I am giving myself plenty of wiggle room.As I have mentioned before i love my pinking sheers.




I pretty much follow a pin and sew method.
