More Custom Slipcovers: Easy to Make & Snug Fitting

by Marge Jones

In this second volume, Marge Jones guides readers through every step necessary to create another 20 wonderful projects using her alternative slip-covering technique. Learn to make covers for various chairs, including channel back, wing, twin barrel, dining, wooden trim chairs, and recliners. Individuals of all experience levels may also successfully complete slipcovers for barstools, ottomans, throw pillows, boxed cushions, neck rolls, sectionals, and sleeper sofas. Readers will learn to make Roman Shades from old drapes, towel bar drapes, valances, and to repurpose linens and remake shams. Following the detailed instructions and over 460 clear photos and diagrams, Marge guides readers through the process of refurbishing items for virtually every room at home. Her method eliminates the muslin or paper pattern-making process, saving valuable time and energy, while achieving a tighter, more attractive fit. Once again, snug-fitting, easily made custom slipcovers will fit so well that furniture will look brand new.

More Custom Slipcovers by Marge Jones is a wonderful book full of examples of slipcovers that anyone with ambition and sewing knowledge can make.
I love how Marge describes the process, while showing you step by step pictures. Also, she does not try and make her pictures pretty, She is showing you the actual product that she is making, not some staged product to make you think you have to be perfect. She gives you ideas for you slip covers you may already have, and she makes them simple enough to understand.
If you are looking for slip covers to make. Maybe to cover chairs for a wedding, or to add padding to your table chairs, then this is the book for you.
I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars
I received a free copy of this book in return for my honest opinion.

I love how easy the author makes it look to make these slipcovers. As long as you cave common knowledge of sewing this is a great book for you. Easy precise directions is a must and the author explains it well with lots of projects and love the amount of pictures. My favorite of the bunch is the arm chair. I always wanted to do this but never knew how.
