I thought I would post an update on my sofa slip cover project.....
I now have the bottom 3 cushions done....
I am so glad I did get the NEW sewing machine....my old one would have never made it through this project....
I can not believe what a difference this new machine has made.....
I had to make a pattern for the bottom cushions .... it was not that hard to do but very time consuming and a lot of steps.....
This the the arm pattern I am working on now.....
I am making the pattern and then on to cutting and sewing.....
I have never made a cording before....that took a bit of time...
the cutting sewing and then sewing it on the cushion.....
I have been sewing all my life but this Slip Cover project has been a challenge......
all of the sewing and pattern making has been kinda fun......
When this project is done I will have used 3 queen quilts (that I bought at Marshalls a while ago) and I'm not sure now many curtains that match the quilts I will use for the skirt yet....I will let you know when I'm alllll done......
Just the arms and skirt....I'm almost there......
Just slow and steady !!!!!!

You are just too smart Mo ! That looks great !
Me again! I tagged you, Mo, with something fun. Check my blog to see, but don't worry if you don't want to do it. I thought it was fun, but only do it if you want to. You may just need a break from the slipcovers!!!
OMGosh, Mo....this is looking so fabulous. You are soooo good at this. And using quilts and curtains is so smart!!! Wish you were my next door neighbor...you could help me recover a couple of chairs.
Can't wait to see it all finished...
