It’s finally here.  The last installment of the video slipcover tutorial series.  I really hope this has been helpful to those who are making slipcovers for the first time and still informative for those who have made them before.  I’ve loved reading all of the comments from you about the projects you’re about to tackle and I can’t wait to see them.  I think I’ll have a link party in a week or so (with a giveaway), so everyone can share their work.

First of all, thanks to Steph from Somewhat Simple for featuring an “oldie” of mine, my sheet music side table.  Steph writes an awesome craft/DIY blog and I am honored to have my work featured there. Second, for those of you waiting for the mystery paint to be revealed, it will happen tomorrow.  Yay!  I can’t wait to share it with you.  Also, a lot of readers have asked me about waxes and I will definitely share a tutorial about some different brands and how to use it. After three tries yesterday afternoon and into the wee hours, I was finally able to get the next video in the slipcover series uploaded.  If you’re just joining us, check out the previous installments – Part One – Sewing Custom Piping Part Two – Cutting the Fabric Part Three – Positioning Fabric and Pin Fitting Back Part Four – Pin Fitting Back,

If you’ve been following the video slipcover tutorial series, welcome to the next installment.  I received a semi-frantic e-mail today from a sweet woman named Maureen, informing me that she is in the middle of a slipcover and needs the next installment.  Believe it or not, I have received several e-mails like this and I love it!  I love that many of you are engaged and playing along.  This is part four of six and the final two installments will be posted this week.  In this “episode”, I’m showing how to pin fit the wings, back and arms of the chair.

Welcome to part three of the video slipcover tutorial series.  First, I’m going to share the “after” picture of the wing chair I used as my example in the video.  Didn’t it turn out great?  It’s currently for sale at the Old Lucketts Store.  I forgot to get a picture of the row of ribbon ties down the back.  They look so good!  Bummer. I didn’t take a “before” picture of it, so here’s a still from the video.  Everywhere I paused it, I either had my mouth open or a smirk on my face, so I went with the smirk.  Lovely.
