If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me to sew them some slipcovers I could probably retire. Ok, not really. But, it is a very common question I get.
Slipcovers are incredibly intimidating for people. I get it. Even the more experienced seamstresses out there get nervous.
But, here's the big secret: You don't need a pattern to make a slipcover!
That's right. Your piece of furniture is the pattern.
In this tutorial, I outline exactly how I slipcovered one of my parsons chairs, elegant ruffle included.
No Pattern DIY Slipcover Tutorial
-Once you have your fabric decided on, wash and dry it.
-Decide where you want your seams and lay the fabric (right side down) in sections over the different parts of the furniture.
-Be sure to leave some over hang on all the edges, this will be your seams.
-Now, start pinning along the lines where you will stitch your seams. Keep the your lines straight and the fit nice and snug.
-Once your pins are in place for one section, you are ready to stitch exactly along the lines of pins, removing the pins as you go.
-Turn the slipcover section inside out and make sure that it does indeed fit the way you want it to.
-Then, turn it wrong side out again and trim the edges of the fabric down to about 1/2 inch.
-Repeat this process several times for each of your fabric sections until you have your slipcover.
(To see how I made the ruffle, see the video)
To hem the bottom, trim leaving about three inches beyond where you want the bottom to be.
-Now, iron the hem 1/4 inch up, all the way around.
-Then repeat this step again, folding it a couple inches up and ironing in place as you go..
-Stitch in place using a wide stitch and you. are. done.

This is a great demonstration/tutorial. Breaks down the procedure, so that it is understandable and doable. Thank you so much.
No measuring!..you speak to my heart 🥰
Thank you for such easy, detailed instructions. The relaxed look of the fabric is perfect. Absolutely no need to iron.
I love the way it looks, custom but cozy. You made it look pretty easy and not threatening. 🙏 Thank you for the demo.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I need to make slip cover for a couple of chairs. I am doing a type skirt on the bottom...a short one with pleats at the corners...because my cat would have a hayday with a long skirt. What I appreciate the most is that I feel confident now about the project and especially getting those side panels in there.
The look is just perfect and very easy. Thank you for sharing!
You brilliant woman! Thank you so much.... I'm going to give this a go! 🧡 Thank you for sharing your talents!!
Beautiful job! Love it!

Top.👍
This is the 2nd video of yours that I’ve watched, love the DIY, no rules approach, new subscriber.
Thanks for the sub!
Bravissima
Very pretty... you did a great job... I wish i can sew.....
Thank you! 😊
Good job this is how I do mine
Such a great technique, isn't it??! Less intimidating than one might think.
What is your best tip for figuring out the yardage needed for any particular chair??
Hi Im new to your channel, watched the video, when u made the bother how did u take off to sew? saw how u did the top u did an awesome job thanks!
❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️
Hi I’m trying to view the Webinar but I don’t know how? 😅
I cannot for life of me understand why so many of these videos have loud music on that makes it impossible to hear what is being said: the voice is enough! We don't come for entertainment, we come for instruction!
Thank you for your feedback!
Great video! You make it look so easy. Now I want to slipcover something. Hahahahaha
Yay!~! That's what I want to hear!
Looks awesome. Did you mention how many yards you bought? I read in the comments 21/2 yards. Is that the right amount to buy? Thanks 🙏 😊❤❤❤
2 & 1/2 yards per chair is what worked for mine!
What do you do if you have a set of chairs where two of them have arms?
Good question! I would probably just upholster those ones.
how would I go about having a short straight bottom with the rest of your design.Thanks
You can make your hem as short or as long as you'd like it to be! :) That's a nice easy swap.
How would you do this for Victorian furniture? Thanks!
Same exact process, just follow the natural lines of the frame.
@@SheHoldsDearly OH thank you so much for answering me back,I'll just have to be extra detailed & careful being that my chair backs has wood with designs that I'm trying to cover also.thanks again👍

How to sew a zippered cushion covers
This blog post I wrote might be helpful! Adding a zipper to pillows is a very similar process to adding them to cushion covers! sheholdsdearly.com/add-zipper-to-pillow-10-minutes/
If you are wanting the good side up then you are doing it wrong, right?
How many yards did you need
I used 2 1/2 yards per chair! Good question, I just updated the post!
What kind of fabric is she using?
It's linen from Joanns : www.joann.com/papyrus-tissue-linen-fabric/6902415.html
Where is your tutorial for your laundry baskets?
I'm not sure what you mean, did I mention something like that in the video?
She Holds Dearly yes I believe you did. You made them using a king sized pillow case and said you had a tutorial on that, but I haven’t found one.
How did you make them. My husband thought they were cool, and he can make them for me.
Great job but 2.5 yards for a small dining chairs is just.... too expensive. I like you method but I don't like pins hanging around.
A lot cheaper than buying new chairs put the pins away when you have finished with them. Rather a silly comment.
I'm sorry but that looks awful!! Good method but bodged together, uneven, very shoddy. It needs ironing all over for a crisp finish.
Wendy Treglown she’s using linen, which has a gorgeous drape and is supposed to be a bit wrinkly. If that’s not your cup of tea, you can always use another fabric! For those of us who love linen, this is the bomb!
