Hi,
I have been thinking of taking on loose cover for a while now but although I have made them for myself once a long long time ago lack confidence to do it for costumers.An upholster I know told me to "just lay the fabric on cut and pin take off and sew".OK for someone who does the job all the time!
I have looked at the web site "slipcover.vrya" but it looks to much like hard work reading it, so it put me off! I have just received and watched a DVD called DIYSlipcovers.com by John French (inPrivate and Company Tuition sorry I dont know how to put up a link thing!) and must say it was very good and made the job look very easy.May be a few things I would change but not as messy as "vrya". IT took you step by step through the whole process may take a bit longer making a pattern but I think well worth it for a first timer. Well worth looking round the site.
