How to Make a Slipcover for a Chair with Wooden Arms
Slipcovers are a great way to update the look of your furniture without having to buy new pieces. They can also be used to protect your furniture from spills and stains. If you have a chair with wooden arms, making a slipcover is a relatively easy project that can be completed in a few hours.
Materials You'll Need:
*Instructions:
1.Measure the chair from the top of the back to the bottom of the seat. Add 6-8 inches to this measurement and cut a rectangle of fabric to this size. This will be the main body of the slipcover.
2.Measure the width of the chair from arm to arm. Add 6-8 inches to this measurement and cut two rectangles of fabric to this size. These will be the arm covers.
3.If you are using cording or piping, cut a piece long enough to go around the edges of the main body of the slipcover and the arm covers. Pin the cording or piping to the edges of the fabric and sew it in place.
4.Place the main body of the slipcover over the chair and pin it in place. Trim any excess fabric around the edges. Sew the slipcover in place, leaving a small opening in the back for turning.
5.Turn the slipcover right side out and insert the arm covers. Pin the arm covers in place and sew them to the main body of the slipcover.
6.Press the slipcover with an iron to remove any wrinkles.
