Creating Fabric Slipcovers 1F22
Make a removable custom slipcover. Cut fabric precisely, stitch welting and attach borders and skirting. Add cushions if time permits.
Please choose a small piece of furniture that is easy to transport up and down stairs on your own.
Storage is very limited and can't be guaranteed, so please plan to transport your piece to class/home each session.
*No class on Veteran's Day or the day after Thanksgiving
