First, I have had this little Ethan Allen GW find for $28 for about 6 months, just working up the courage to slipcover it. Miss Mustard Seed and Traci at Beneath My Heart had inspired me with their slipcovers, so I finally got started.
I've been working on this for a week...1 hour here, 2 hours, there....not my favorite way to tackle a project like this.
Even today I must confess that it is lacking a few final touches of being finished, but I wanted to show you (actually I was desperate for a post!). The arms still have me in a quandry. I think I'll do ties on the wooden part of the arm. Anyway, I'm not too traumatized to try another slipcover (in about another year!).
I made four of these slipcovers.
What, you don't think it's a slipcover? It is a jumper that could cover a slip....hence a slipcover!
I made one for each of our four granddaughters.
I'm joining up with these wonderful ladies:

Be sure and check out their great sites.....and then try making a slipcover! Happy Monday! Linda

Wow! The chair is really cute! I'm impressed! I'm going to get Molly's dress monogrammed soon.
Linda, your chair turned out great. I love it. The little dresses are so pretty. I know the grand-girls will love them. Hope you're having a great week. Hugs, Marty
Linda, you are so talented! The chair is so wonderful, can't believe you did that, I could not ever even begin to do that, out of my league! Great job! I love those little dresses, just beautiful!

The slipcover is wonderful!
I love the other "slipcover", too. So cute!
Great job on the slipcover! The arms would be challenging unless you covered them as well but the wood is covered.
You did a beautiful job on the slipcover, I think I would use ties for the arms also. Who am I kidding, I would have had someone make the slipcover for me :) Love the jumpers you made for your grands - they are adorable. Kathy
You are sooo talented! The chair slipcover and dresses are beautiful! Way to go girl!
Nice Job Linda!

Hi Linda! Great job on the slipcover...so professional! But my faves, of course, are the pinky frenchy "slipcovers" for your grandies! A demain!...hugs...Debbie
The slipcover looks great on the chair. You did a great job. Love the outfits for the grandchildren, too.
I admire anyone who can make slipcovers ... they can be very slippery customers, they never seem to stay where you put them ... I suppose that's why they are called SLIP covers!! ROFL!!
You have done a lovely job of yours and the little pink dresses.
Warmest Hugs,
Sandi @ Bearly Sane
The slipcover and the dresses are great!!
Love,
Susan and Bentley

Linda, you did a splendid job on the slipcovers. I impressed! Love the pink "slipcovers" for the granddaughters. How perfect. You'll need to dress them up and take a photo for Pink Saturday! :-)
Hi Linda! You really did do a great job on your white slipcover. I have two of these chairs I wanna tackle, but I'm skeert!! :)

It looks fabulous!
Lou Cinda :)
I've only attempted a slipcover once and there was lots and lots of cursing involved. I think you did a marvelous job, but I have some idea why you aren't ready to dive in again.
I am totally impressed!
Linda,
Your slipcover is so stunning...you did a wonderful job on it...thanks for showing it off at NTT!
Blessings,
Linda

Oh, I'm a HUGE fan of slipcovers!! I'm trying to work up the courage to make one for our sofa as we speak...or maybe save up and have someone else make it! -shaunna :)
