It has begun!



One of my biggest projects ever is in full swing. I have always wanted to recover a chair but didn't have the heart to destroy a piece of furniture as I sometimes have to do things twice...
I have a beautiful chair that my grandmother left in our home that was aching for new fabric so I decided to slipcover. Throughout the bloggy community there have been many DIYers that have come before me and survived: Pink and Polka Dot, Sew Mama Sew.

To start I researched a ton online, then went to the library and pawed thru pages of old decorator books ( thanks to a sleeping toddler) and then decided it was time to stop procrastinating and start. Last night I did the sides, pretty easy but I was a little distracted by Will Smith and his moviethon on TNT. Tomorrow night I plan on finishing pinning and Tuesday night I will begin machine sewing!

Have you slipcovered before ? Any tips or tricks that you would like to share ?
