Today I decided to get started on my dining chair slipcovers. Here is the first one.
I used an antique linen thrift store sheet I found for 75 cents. I sew a lot of projects out of vintage linens, mainly because I find it is very easy to find good quality fabric like linen for a great price.
I will be able to make two covers out of this sheet, probably more except I will run out of hemmed edges. And the hemmed edges are the second best thing about using vintage sheets for fabric! It makes sewing so much quicker. I started this during Layla's naptime and I was finished before she woke up, and I even managed to eat lunch too!
The ties at the back are my favorite part!
I found those hatboxes at Ikea. I'm always looking for pretty storage options.
These are very easy to make, even if you only know how to sew a straight line. I took some pictures as I went along so if there happens to be anyone who is interested to see them just let me know in comments/email and I could do a tutorial.
Have a wonderful day!
