#thingsivemade I’ve sewn quite a few things over the last few years. I rarely post them because I don’t like taking selfies—but more recently I’ve stopped caring about that. French terry knit with shimmery gold dots by @atelierbrunette — truly a dream fabric with 4-way stretch, cozy underside, and elegant starry night print. Combined with some serious hacking of the #monetadress by @seamworkmag

I lived with this ugly-colored, cat-shredded-arm sofa for over 10 years. I’ve held onto it because it’s the perfect size and a great, durable frame. It’s had a variety of makeshift covers, mostly a large canvas drop cloth that I dyed pink. I’ve always dreamed of making it a nice slipcover and last year I made that dream a reality. I used tablecloths from @anokhijaipur and I like how I was able to incorporate some of the borders into the slipcover design. The final touch was finally making the seat cover and I came up with the brilliant idea of making a “fitted sheet” as opposed to two separate zippered cushion covers. I’d even salvaged the zippers from the original covers but after just having one of the tablecloths temporarily tucked over the cushions I realized I liked the streamlined look even better. The fitted sheet cover has woven cotton interfacing ironed on for the extra durability. I will eventually add a big tab across the back to more securely hold it in place. The main slipcover is entirely constructed with French seams, which meant I had to counter-intuitively sew everything right side out. The hardest part was making the track arms separate into the part that gets tucked into sides. I used the white fabric on the underside just to save more of the printed material. Hopefully the visuals are helpful enough in case you’ve been wanting to try this yourself! I basically pinned all of the pieces either directly onto the sofa or pinched together and pinned along where the seams would be. The benefit to doing French seams was that I could look at the right side of the fabric as I pinning it and line up/match the prints where necessary. It would be much easier to do this in a solid fabric but I had fun. It only took an entire year to finally finish it! #diyslipcover
