I've been wanting to make spring/summer and fall/winter slipcovers but was unsure on how to make it. Thank you for this great video.

[@59PianoMom]

Thank you so much for posting this! So helpful!!!

[@yvonnefarmer310]

Thankyou for allowing me to see just how easy it seems to make a cover for an armchair, I have covered dining chairs before but never an armchair , I have a chair without wings but I feel the way you showed us how to do this makes me feel I too can give it a go. so Thank you Paul.

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Yvonne thank you for letting us know. Honestly that's why we do videos. It would be great if more knew how to makes cover themselves. All the best. Paul

[@bonnieb2380]

Thank you so much for your informative slipcover video! My husband and I just completed our first cover, and your instructions made it (relatively) easy! Now I want to cover all of our furniture!

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Bonnie B Hi Bonnie, We really love to hear that the videos have helped,it makes them worth it. If your up for it send us a before and after picture (or just after) via email through our website. urbancastlesolutions.com others have and we love it. Thanks for watching. All the best. Paul

[@chemistryflavored]

This is great, I have a club chair I plan on creating a cover for and even though it doesn't have wings this is a great way to create my pattern and cover! Thank you for posting!

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

+chemistryflavored That's great to hear the concept is the same with or without wings just follow the lines of the furniture. It'll work, it's all good. Thanks for commenting. All the best. Paul

[@pamelabaylock8862]

Paul, You are a terrific teacher! Having learned by the seat of my pants, I am thankful for you sharing your love of, and obvious gift for, this trade. After tackling my first two upholstery projects last summer, I have three chairs awaiting covers, and can't wait to view the second video for more knowledge. So much to learn...

[@novaelhen5926]

Its perfect and nice

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Thanks, please check in soon for more content! All the Best, Grant and Paul

[@stephaniebarclay5620]

Thank you so much! I have used an old sofa cover to create the cover for a wing chair... thrift as well!

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Stephanie Barclay Wow I really like that! Hey if the fabric is still in great condition why not! One client of ours had drapes made by us. A year later she was moving to a new location and no longer needed the drapes. She asked us to re-upholster two sofas in the drapery fabric. The sofas looked great. Thanks for telling us. All the best. Paul

[@marleneahibbard]

I am using some curtains I made years ago for the pattern pieces.

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Hello Marlene, thank you very much for watching the video. Yes I have done re-upholstery for a client that had drapes she no longer wanted, but the fabric was in great condition. It turned perfect, please check out our latest videos. "No strings attached" kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooSydGuZetCdpKs Again thank you. All the best, Paul

[@socorrovictoria3574]

Very good teacher 😍.

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Thank you!

[@echackal1]

Another great vid from UCSolutions, I have posted a link to your videos on facebook for my friends to watch.

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

e Chackal Really great!! Thanks so much for taking the time to send it out and telling us. All the best. Paul

[@eunicemoore6517]

my chair is leather so I can't use pins to anchor fabric to chair.Any ideas how to do that without Pins? Thank you so much for the great video.

[@hhhhhjjj234]

thanks a lot

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Hello Gadouche, Really nice to hear the video was helpful, thank you for watching! Please share our videos with others, it helps a great deal when you do. All the best, Paul

[@yvonnefarmer310]

i have subscribed too.

[@krismurphy1671]

Paul, thank you for your wonderful videos. One question: I notice that some of the more modern looks, let's say from Restoration Hardware, do not have piping. My old cub chair has piping. How will the slipcover lay over old piping if I sew the slipcover with none? Again, many thanks for your great instruction.

[@charlotteprescott-ruland9121]

I know I'm not Paul...and it's been 2 years (so I assume he's not going to answer lol), I'll tell you what happens in my own personal experience. You'll see the silhouette of the piping through the fabric. I typically remove the old piping if I don't care about the upholstery anyway. Not sure there is anything you can do otherwise than deal with seeing the piping.

[@marleneahibbard]

Thanks so much for this clearly stated understandable direction, just one question: since this is just a pattern and not the final slip cover, why is it necessary to have the salvage in the middle of the inside back piece?

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

HI again Marlene, thanks for the good question. I am doing what is called double cutting the slipcover. The method requires to have the center point of the piece of furniture, so you only pin-fit one side NOT both. On the cutting table, I will fold over the top finished fabric to make the whole complete cover using the pattern. I hope this has cleared things up for you. Again thank you, please if you haven't already subscribe and share the videos it helps us to keep doing them. Our latest video kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooSydGuZetCdpKs Cheers, Paul

[@NenaKeruvim]

The fabric that you are going to use for the slipcover is the same kind that the one that you are using for the pattern? What if the fabric for the slipcover does not behave same way as the one for the pattern?

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

+Burrito Sabanero Hi, We actually did not use the same fabric for the slipcover and the pattern. When you use the slipcover pattern method it should work with almost any fabric that is made for slipcovers. I hope this help! All the Best, Grant

[@TerrieJohnstown]

Can these instructions be applied also to doing a simple arm chair? Without wings, and with a T-cushion?

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Hello Terrie, thank you for watching the video!! Yes you can apply this method to any piece of furniture the concept is the same... Please share the videos it helps us when you do. Cheers, Paul

[@michellebabcock46]

Do you have an adaptation for a Reclining Wingback?

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

In short the answer is no. It can be done, but it's not easy. It's hard to say not seeing the type of recliner you have. I have done them in the past. So my advise would be to cut the pattern with the chair open. As you go along, open and close the chair to see if it's going to work. Maybe having the front of the footrest attached on both sides with Velcro. It's easy to pull apart for the footrest to swing out. Once again there's no easy way for me explain it. But I can say thank you very much for commenting and I hope this is somewhat helpful. Best to you. Paul

[@terrispeidel2191]

Do you have any suggestions for a tutorial on making a slipcover for a recliner?

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Terri Speidel No I do not, I wish I did for you. The only advise I can offer is to follow the same instructions as on a standard slipcover. The big difference is to cut the cover with chair open and keep closing the recliner to see how it is fitting. One more thing, cut the cover open! In other words do not make the pattern on just half the chair, cover the whole chair with the pattern fabric. I have made covers for recliners before, but it is not easy and it does take a lot more time and attention. Consider using Velcro or ties in areas where the footrest comes out. Or make a separate cover for the footrest. I wish you the best on it and I have no doubt it will look great. Thanks for commenting. Paul

[@nmvdesigns5028]

What part did you put the zipper? And what does it help on putting it?

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Hi Jonaline, Thank you for watching and for your comment. This slipcover wing chair did not need a zipper. The reason why is there was no scrolled arms (scrolled arms usually flare out) . The zipper is useful only when the cover needs to get over the widest point of the furniture, the zipper opens the cover up to do so. ANY FLARING part or widest points poses a problem. If you need to see how to sew a zipper on, look at this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZe3gJqOp7CCjqM At 49.20 this is where we sew on a zipper. I hope this has helped you. If you haven't already please subscribe and share the videos,it helps us when you do. All the best, Paul

[@eileenharrison4667]

Hi is the arrow mark for the grain of fabric .please

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Hi there Eileen, first thanks for watching the video and your comment. Good question; the arrow will only be present when there’s a lineup to be made or a repeat to match, even then sometimes they do not print an arrow. So it really depends on the manufacture of the fabric. Hope this addressed your question 😊 Please share the videos it helps us a lot when you do. Cheers, Paul

[@vynettearnell3892]

How do you know the dimensions of the fabric that you cut at the beginning?

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Vynette Arnell Thanks for your question. The amount of fabric you will need to cut a wing chair slipcover is around 5 to 51/2 yards no skirt. A add a little more if the chair is large or you have a pattern repeat you want to match. I hope this answers your question. Thanks for your comment. The best on your project. Paul

[@charlotteprescott-ruland9121]

Just an FYI: I think what she meant was, how did he know what sizes to pre-cut the sections before he started. He measured them beforehand, and then cut out the squares/rectangles according to the sizes of each section. For instance, for the outer side panel, measure from the highest point to where you want your hem on the bottom and add 2 or more inches for a seam allowance. Then measure horizontally from widest points and again add seam allowance. These measurements will tell you how wide and long to pre-cut your fabric for that side, and all measurements are typically taken first and written down for future reference. Then you cut the pieces out and label them (OA: outside arm, IW: inside wing, etc.). I know I'm not Paul and definitely not a pro like him, but I have been reading and watching tutorials for a few years now and have (almost lol) made a few slipcovers. I get frustrated and stop because it's not coming out perfectly...so I continue to watch vids and read up on them to see where I go wrong. Pretty sure I go wrong at simply not finishing them :/

[@SamCole]

About how much fabric do you need in total?

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

+Sam Cole Hi Sam, The fabric amount in a solid, no prints or match up. You would need 6-7 yards with no skirt. Most wing-chairs do not have skirts, but they can if you want. Thanks for checking out the video. Best Regards, Paul

[@terrispeidel2191]

Do you have a video on how to install a zipper in the slipcover? The one you demonstrated putting on the slipcover had a zipper. I think it would make it much easier to get on. Your videos are excellent by the way! Working on one now. Let you know how it comes out. Thanks

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Terri Speidel Yes there is a video we did that shows how to install a zipper. The process is the same, so it will apply. This video is: "Sewing of Sofa bed slipcover Part 4 final." It's in our channel ucsolutions. This should help you and yes it does make it easier to put on slipcovers. Please tell us how it works out. We have had others send us photos via email and they looked great! No doubt yours will too. Thanks, Cheers, Paul

[@brenwrona]

can you please cover a round ottoman? make a slipcover for a round ottoman thanks

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Hello Bren, Thank you for watching the video and for taking out time to comment. Yes we just got a round ottoman donated to us, however it will be sometime before we can get to it. Thank you again for watching. Please share our videos with other platforms, it helps us when you do. Best Regards, Paul

[@sheilaskemp8243]

How long did this whole project take you?

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Sheila Skemp The time on average should be around 5-6 hours. Without adding the inset fabric we did in middle. This time includes the muslin pattern to sewing and installing (complete). Add a little more time if you want a skirt or have a pattern fabric to match up. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers.

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Sheila Skemp A small correction Sheila; sorry I thought your comment was toward the parson's chair slipcover. That's why I included the inset middle fabric in the time estimate. So the time is about 6-7 for the wing chair. The rest of the information still works.
