Slipcovering is a really valuable skill. When I tell someone I know how to slipcover, they immediately follow with a list of furniture in their home that could use a good cover, and when can I start? I tend to keep it a secret because I don't want to accidentally start a full time business.
Dressmakers draft custom fit dress "muslins" that can be modified and sewn up many ways. If you have experience following a sewing pattern, creating a custom slipcover pattern is a good next step. On September 7, please join me at Fiber College for Slipcover Making for a Small Chair. Learn to make a muslin/pattern for your dining room chairs, folding chairs, even those white plastic outdoor chairs. Design a pattern that can be used again and again, and bring new life to your old chairs.

Counting the days, please consider joining in the fun!

I ran right over to the FC website before I realized the 7th was a Friday. Phooey (for me). I would have loved to see you (and learn your tricks). Oh, well. Hopefully I'll see you at the fashion show!
Liz - phooey for me too! If you can't make it to the fashion show we can make another occasion. I want to go back to that mill in Brunswick someday.
I love your blog ! I will come back and read much more.. and just wanted to introduce myself, cuz I just friended you on Ravelry :)
