I needed to cover the classic white sofa in the sitting room,
the solution...
created with the purchase of 2 matelasse king size quilts
( I chose the matelasse because it was so thick and durable )
brought it home and laundered in very hot water
and then dried it on high for major shrinkage,
and sent it out to the upholsterer to create this slip cover.
He did a great job on fit,
and the best thing is
it washes and dries beautifully
and no ironing is needed
and it slips right back on !
Perfect for summer entertaining!
It looks fabulous. What a great idea. Hugs, Marty

That looks great. I'm going to France in two weeks and hope I can find some interesting fabrics to make slipcovers, too. Glad to see your post...ideas! xo Jenny
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! I had white matelasse slipcovers in my family room for years and I loved how I could just wash it and use bleach if necessary on the stains. The stretch was ideal too, it always eased into place. I enjoyed your blog, I hope you will stop by and visit mine sometime too! :)
