Linking up with My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday , Favorite Things Friday at A few of My Favorite Things, and Frugalicious Friday at Finding Fabulous, and Tools are for Women Too!, Do I Yourself Day, and Furniture Feature Friday.
Back in 2008, I posted this about my dream to slipcover these 3 chairs. Finally the chair with the arms is wearing her new white linen slip.
Pining on the gusset, Bailey trying to get my attention. See Bailey under the table?
Arms on a chair = difficult slipcover for me. Trying to cut the opening presents a challenge.
Putting the chair on my kitchen table gives the perfect height for working on the gusset and ruffled skirt.
A simple arm cover with a ballet slipper tie
5 ties down each side
2 ties at front arm
and she’s done

You ARE the slipcover queen. I bow down to you. :)
Have you considered painting the wood a Gustavian Grey? Lovely the way it is, but I think that would be the icing on the cake.
Hope you have a great weekend!! Beth.

It's all about the details! You nailed it! I think that chair is enjoying showing off her legs against the frilly ruffle edge!!

Wow ~ look at YOUR beautiful slipcover dear! We were definitely on the same wavelength I would say!! Yours looks stunning. I love all the detail, the ties & the ballet ties on the arms...what a great idea!

Got your email & I'm totally fine w/ that! Let me know how long it takes you.....I think the second one should be easier since I'll have a pattern to go off of.
I should clarify on my 6 girls....the first 3 are from my husband's 1st marriage ~ so they don't live w/ us. The last 3 are 14,12, and 10. So they're in school all day! I'm def. not superwoman! ;)

Oh my goodness, you talented woman. I'm so jealous of your craftiness. It almost makes me want to try. Almost. :) shaunna
Nice project. I would love it if you would link this up in Modern Craftswoman Monday. Very well done. Rory
Cool chair cover! I don't sew (very well) but I just may have to start trying a little harder after seeing this beauty! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving some comment love for me!
SOOO Pretty! Thanks for posting this on FTF!
What a cute slipcover. That was a lot of work, but worth it.
Those ruffles and ties are amazing! You did a beautiful job, my dear.
So cute! Hope you're well! Missed you!
Oh I love the ballet slipper look on the arms and all the ties up the sides. Beautiful job. I'd be thrilled to have you link this to my VIP party today! http://designergarden.blogspot.com/2011/04/vip-party-10.html
Great job, I just love all those ties. I have a chair with arms like that and I am scared to do it, but by looking at yours maybe it just needs some extra love.
It‘s so nice that I have found your blog about your link on Miss Mustard Seed. Of course, I scrolled a little and like what I saw. Now I’m your new follower! ;)
Take care
Tine
