I am hijacking my own post to add another LINK. I am doing this because I have to add Angie's Slipcover Show-off #10. Angie from Threadneedle Studio went out of her way to help me with my first slipcover, she even gave me her phone #. That is what I call going above and beyond. Thank you Angie! So make sure you check out the slipcovers in her link and if you have questions, she certainly helped me, and I even went and made another slipcover. If I can do so can YOU!
I am in heaven, heaven I tell you! I just finished making my second slipcover and this time I did not have to ask for help in my blog. So please join me, yep another linking party, this is Friday's Featured Slipcovers at Pink and Polka Dot and I decided to make it a triple Friday link party and link to Furniture Feature Friday at Miss Mustard Seed's and Show and Tell Friday at My Romantic Home. And Why shouldn't we have a big party today, after all it is a special day!

I must say I love putting the ruffles on my slipcovers.
I am also including some pillows that I made using plain white fabric and some vintage bark cloth that was once a curtain. The ruffles on the pillows were already premade I just sewed them on, and to make it even easier I made the pillows in the fold over fashion so I can take the pillow out when I want to wash the cover.
Here is my love seat slipcover.
I love this love seat, it is small enough to fit in my office and my kids love to lay on it and color while I am on the computer. Or it can go in the dinning room freeing up extra chairs for parties.
Here is the pinning and cutting, probably the hardest part for me.
I pin the whole slipcover together before I start sewing. I still have a little trouble with the inside corner, but I do it slowly and think about how it is supposed to go together.
I almost decided not to put on the ruffle, you tell me, do you like it with or without ruffles?
Here is the before:
Thank you for taking a peak at my slipcover. Don't forget to check out all of the other slipcovers and featured furniture, hey it might even inspire you to try.
By the way.
