Ok, All You Slipcover Ladies, You Know Who You Are!

I am not the crying type of person, at all, but I'll be darned if I am not going to just go take a shower so my kids will not see mom cry over a DAMN piece of fabric.  UHHHHHH. I am trying to sew a slipcover, oh says a slipcover person, (I was going to link, but it is not her fault I can't get this)  it is so simple, just drape here and cut, don't be afraid to cut the fabric my ***.  I pinned it so neatly and CUT the fabric, BUT HOW IN THE **** DO I SEW THE CORNERS WHERE THE CHAIR ARMS MEET? 

Ok so I am crying NOW, because I know I am going to have to seam rip this whole thing out and start over &*&(&(T%$%#%$)((*@*&^%$#$(*, you know what that was, I am sure I do not need to explain.

MY SATURDAY IS NOT SO PINK NOW!!! PURE BLACK IS THE MOOD.

HELP, I NEED SOME HELP OVER HERE.  Oh and by the way I am not mad at the slipcover girl, she really did make it look sew simple.

Berries, I think I am going to NEED you to put the picture back to make me laugh.

Thank you for reading my rant and rave, I needed to get that out. So, carry on all, have a wonderful weekend.

Oh and if any slipcover ladies would like to HELP me, I would gladly accept it.

    OH MY!! THE SAME FRIGGIN' THING HAPPENED TO ME. MY YOUNGEST COMES IN THE ROOM, I'M SITTING ON THE FLOOR, SOBBING, SOBBING!!!!, "MOMMY, IT'LL BE OK. YOU CAN DO IT"

    I had to seam rip the entire FRIGGIN' thing. The good part was that I had learned from one of the slipcover Goddesses here that you sew first using your widest stitch on your machine. So you have to go back and sew it tightly. That's a lot EASIER than seam rippin' a tight stitch.

    HELP!!! Where are you and your slipcover now?

    Oh, thank you very much for the seam stick trick, I will definately do it that way next. I am taking a break today from the madness of seam ripping.
