Why buy a new chair when you can put a slip cover on and have a totally new look?!  Slipcovers are stylish and useful and you can change them as often as you like.  Purchase or make your own slip covers.  For making your own you can buy fabric or simply use fabric you may have lying around the house.  This could be from extra sheets or other items.

Denim, canvas, chintz, and various stretchable fabrics may be the best choice for chair slipcovers.

Do you have a sewing machine?  If not, borrow or buy one!  Sewing can be fun and you will enjoy the possibilities that are opened to you when you have a sewing machine.  A slip cover can also be hand sewn.  All you need is a needle and thread.  If you don’t want to have the frayed ends of thread each time you bite the end off, you need scissors too…:)

Take all of the measurements of your chair so that you can better create your slip cover.  Ah….this is another reason for scissors…You may want to cut the fabric.

Oh yeah…here’s an idea….  Take down your curtains, turn them into slip covers and sew or buy new curtains.  Your home will really look redecorated then!  Use coordinating colors for your curtains of course….
