making a slipcover for a recliner
Shortly after we moved in, I bought a manual wingchair recliner off of Facebook Marketplace for $40. I had a feeling it would be a “placeholder” for a nicer recliner in the future, but it seemed like a good tester piece. We could see how much we used it, see how it fit in the room (while fully open), and help us make a more informed decision in the future. I intended to make a slipcover for this recliner, but after using it for a few weeks, it became clear that it wasn’t worth the effort or the cost. The chair wasn’t comfortable and piece by piece, the mechanism was falling apart and got to the point where it would just randomly pop open. So, for almost a year, I looked around at recliners. I looked at new and used and was very wishy-washy and undecided. I didn’t mind saving
