Turquoise Outdoor Fabric For Inside!

I can't believe it, but I finally got my chair slipcovered! I am so busy doing clients furniture...that my things don't get finished! That is a good problem to have though and I am not complaining.

When I started making Slipcovers...it was because I wanted a change in my home. I love beautiful fabrics....and bright colors make me....SING! That is why I love Slipcovers.... I can create a change with some imagination and a few yards of fabric.

 

This chair is 8 way hand tied, and handmade in Clinton, NC. I bought it for $35.00. I called the man who made it, and he said his club chairs now sell for several hundred dollars! He still makes them by hand!

This outdoor fabric was just the color I wanted and I love the design. That is why I just had to buy it from Fabric Solutions!

I matched the pattern as good as I could. This particular fabric is very slippery to sew with and was a little bit of a challenge, but I think it turned out nice!

When I was making the slipcover, I would work on it, then get sidetracked, so it sat half done for a long time. Poor thing had no skirt for weeks!

I just loooooove this color and pattern. My walls in the keeping room are Benjamin Moore, Dill Pickle. So this tourquoise blue looks so pretty!

 

Doing this chair makes me want to keep sewing for my house! Don't you have a chair that needs a pop of color and an updated pattern? This outdoor turquoise fabric is perfect for Inside!

Wrightsville Beach Cottage

Some folks decorate their cottage with a cool coastal look...others want the cottage to feel like their place, their furniture their style.

That is what these clients wanted, a beach cottage with their own look. These clients are very traditional and wanted to use primary colors. I am a Wolfpack (NCSU) fan...so I love this red and white chinoiserie pattern.

This fabric is outdoor fabric and can be easily kept clean. When sewing with these fabrics they can be a little slippery, and they do not give or stretch. So what you sew is how it will go!

 

 

 

 

 

These are the chairs before I slipcovered. They were the grandmothers. They were so comfortable..they rocked and glided.

What more can you ask for?

The tufting wasn't important to the client so that made the slipcover decision even easier.

 

 

These are the chairs after they were finished. Both chairs have a lot of matching work that had to be done. The sun was going down on the waterway side and it was streaming through the windows so forgive all my shadows.

Aren't the cubes cute?

 

 

 

 

 

Didn't it turn out nice?

 

 

 

 

Now for grandmothers other piece. A sneak peak of the arm. Yes ....this is peach velvet...it is very well made.

 

Wow...look how long this sofa is......

Check out the tufting.

With Slipcovers you don't have to change anything about the original piece of furniture. So tufting stayed..we just will not see it with the slipcover.

 

Finished slipcover...

Isn't it beautiful?

I love how nice it turned out. Long and lean and beachy white ...yet so traditional.

 

 

 

 

Isn't this neck roll pillow the finishing touch?

This was the clients idea and I think it was a good one.

Grandmothers sofa in its new home....

 

This is my happy client with her beach house the way she wanted it ...with her colors and her family memories. She was very very happy!

Beachy Brighten Up

Nona's Beach Cottage, a beachy brighten up!

You may not believe this ........but these two chairs are the same, they were taken before the slipcover was put on and after. My client used the same flash, same phone camera! It's just the new white slipcover! It actually brightened the entire room!

Can you believe the difference?

We are doing some fun changes in Nona's cottage. Pinterest helps with ideas....one chair down, an ottoman, another chair and a sofa to go! Will keep you posted!

Porch Perfect

Just wanted you to see some cushions that I did for a client in Raleigh, NC. They were busy nesting for a new baby ...so of course she nested all the way to the porch!  This is beautiful outdoor fabric, which was purchased in Wilmington, NC. As you can see cording was added and all the patterns were matched! The couple was so happy with their new coordinating look.......oh ...and it was a GIRL!!!

From Broken Leg...to Beautiful Chairs

If you were wondering and if you are still following....thank you for your patience......I broke my leg!!! Actually near the ankle, the fibula bone. It has been a long 13 weeks and I am about ready to get the last brace off hopefully next week.

Some of you have been praying and I appreciate that. Some of you are customers and you have been very patient....I appreciate that also.

 I had no idea how much a broken bone could hurt. At the first part of the experience, it hurt to do anything, and I wondered if it would ever heal.  Thank goodness for time and healing.

I have started making slipcovers, cushions and pillows again.  I still have swelling and I must rest my leg...but I am getting better daily.

I wanted to show you a few things that I have been working on.  Some other projects that I completed before my leg break, are locked up in a laptop that crashed because of a virus. I hope that my brother can get them out for me. Someone was telling me about an external hard drive and how they aren't expensive. I will definitely be getting one of those!

Sooooo here goes!

I did some work for Linda at Thrill of the Hunt.  Linda loves to mix things up with her fabrics....she is very artistic and has an eye for some great pieces.

This chair was done in mixture of indoor fabric and outdoor fabric if that makes sense.  It started out as this....

Went to this look........

Or this look........

Which ever you prefer...or you can mix and match the look. Here is a view of the side of the chair.

I boxed the upper cushion.

Here is a view of the front arm, cording and pattern detail.....

Here is a view of the 2 matching chairs...sitting in Thrill of the Hunt.....waiting to be purchased by someone!

Look at all the beautiful things that surround these chairs!

More goodies in Thrill of the Hunt!

The colors in the store are so inspiring and I really want one of these beautiful paintings...drool!

Go by Thrill of the Hunt, and tell Linda I sent you. Thank you for being patient with me in my absence.  I love hearing from you and thank you for praying!
