Stool slipcover and a little Annie Sloan chalk paint

My friend KB had this old stool in her attic.  She hated the top of it, but she loved the legs.  She wanted piping and 2 inch box pleats and left the rest up to me.  I drew a sketch of what I was picturing and she loved it.  

Here is the BEFORE/AFTER and if you scroll down to the bottom, you will see that I painted the legs with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White.  She wants it lightly distressed and I haven't gotten that far yet.  

Here is a picture of the sketch I drew beforehand.  I try to sketch all of my slipcovers to help me picture it in my head before starting.  WARNING:  I'm not the best artist. ;-)

 AFTER with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint (Old White)

Slipcovered Chairs and ottomans

These slipcovers are made out of drop cloth!!  I wish I had taken a before picture. 

Cubed ottoman slipcover with white denim.  Please excuse the mess in the background.  I was sorting out my children's clothes to sell and give away.  My friend Lydia found a picture of a gorgeous cubed ottoman in Veranda and used that as her inspiration.  She wanted it very simple.  No pleats.  I used piping around the top and the 4 corners have a cute stitch on each side of the seam.

Here is a close up of the stitching on each side of the seam.  This is actually another chair she has in linen but I don't have a close up of the ottoman stitching.  It looks just like this.  I love the extra detail it gives on such a white piece of furniture.

I have a client who is a designer and she has me sew a lot of things for her clients.  This particular client was redoing her bedroom and found this great ottoman at Habitat Restore for a great price.  She really wanted to try out the new trend of mixing fabrics and textures with an ottoman.  The top is a silver velvet and the band is a grey and white small chevron.  The skirt is a textured zebra print and inside the pleats are the silver velvet.  What a fun ottoman!  This was more difficult than I anticipated due to the thickness of the fabrics.

Slipcovered desk chair

I made this slipcover for a friend's daughter. This was a rolling chair that her daughter uses at her desk and she decided to spruce up her room a bit this summer. She had the idea and told me what she wanted. Here is the before and after. These are taken with my cell phone so I'm sorry for the lighting.
