Well, here it is, not the best slipcover in the world but I’m happy I made it because I’ve learned some things along the way. At some point, I will probably re-do it because there are a couple of glaring mistakes but I can live with it for now.
One thing I know for sure….ruffles are not your friend! I don’t have a ruffle attachment for my sewing machine so I just folded and ironed. Then I hot glued on the seam binding trim.
I might order a white slipcover for my loveseat. The walls will be painted a neutral color and I’ll finish making the drop cloth/white sheet drapes.
Don’t look too closely….you’ll see all my boo-boos!
But you know what? I’m glad I made it, despite it’s imperfections. I was so afraid I’d royally screw it up and while it’s not perfect, that’s okay too. In the words of Ms. Nester, “It doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful” and I’m embracing that for my motto.

It's really cute!! I've been thinking of doing one for my nursery rocking armchair. Great job!
The ruffles are very cute. I love them and hate them. Aren't they so time consuming. I just finished an ottoman myself and once all done I found a big boo boo. Where I joined the pleats, I joined them facing each other! I just turn the ottoman around!
Well, in the words of that great old Alabama song, "it's close enough to perfect for me"!!! LOL!! I think it's divine!!! You did a great job for sure. LOVE IT!
Great job Judy! I love the combo of the two fabrics. Hate sewing ruffles!!
Well done! I would love to give a project like this a try. (I hate sewing ruffles too).
Judy, I think it turned out perfect! Great Job!!!!!
How cute...I don't see any boo boo's :)
Where did you get your rug? It looks softer than some of those sisal or jute rugs I've seen. Thanks for sharing! The pleats are a great idea. I hate making ruffles.
wow! Very impressed!!!
Great job! I think you're really brave for attempting this so who cares if you have a couple of hiccups? We can't see them ~ :-)
