Making Summer Slipcovers For Your Upholstered Furniture

Martha Stewart showed how her wool and silk covered wingback chairs were given a new look for the spring and summer months with slipcovers. Slipcovers can save your furniture from being ruined over time, and give you an entirely new crisp look for the warmer summer season. Work with lighter fabrics, and don’t be afraid of contacting a professional seamstress to make your slipcovers if you are not so talented working with a sewing machine. A great slipcover should last you a number of years if it is made properly. Photography by Sarah Maingot.
