How-To Video: Basic Principles of Slipcovering by John French 5_bulb Review this video!

Basic Principles of Slipcovering: 1A

* Beginning level where we learn the absolute basics of slipcovering. Once we learn the foundation, we can build additional skills. * We use a pattern method of instruction which allows the beginner the ability to correct mistakes. Students can also reuse their pattern to make additional slipcovers out of different fabric. * Designed especially to be made on HOME SEWING MACHINES. Because the finished slipcover product from part 1 does not include welt cord, pleats, or lining, only two layers of fabric will be sewn together allowing the use of home machines. * Demonstration is given on two different pieces and styles of furniture. A sofa and a club chair. Neither one is more difficult than the other, there is just more fabric between the arms of a sofa. * Only BASIC sewing skills are required * Select an easy piece of furniture to use for your first project * Final result is a professional looking custom slipcover…. made easy! * Includes Cushion Construction

I loved all the great information - thorough, well-explained and easy to follow. I think I will need to purchase the set before attempting to recover my sofa, however.

Thanks! This is a great service!
