Simple Summer Slipcover



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!

  4. It'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! :)
