It’s like the Goldilocks of gray – not too light, not too dark… it’s just right! For my couch, I used driftwood gray from Online Fabric Store. I use cotton duck fabric, because it sews beautifully, washes well and is a great price point. Of course, to make a slip cover, you’re going to need some fabric.
I prefer 4/32 size, because most upholstery piping on a new couch or chair will have the thinner stuff, not big and chunky.
You’ll need to buy the raw cording to make it. Don’t worry, it’s not hard to make – I’m going to walk you through it step by step. Piping will make your slip look all profesh and stuff, so using just a bit of it here and there will give you some cover ‘cred. So I’ve finally decided to share all of that knowledge all week for Slip Cover Week Although I’ve read a ton of e-books, blog posts and all the other information I could get my hands on about making them, there were lots of tricks and tips that I learned not through reading, but just by jumping in and doing them. Every time I mention on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter that I’m making slip covers, I always get the same comment: “Slipcovers scare me!” I was once the slipcover scared crowd, but now that I’ve made a few of them, I can tell you they’re not so scary after all.
