Last week my friends and I headed to our favorite fabric store (Barn Fabric Center) - it's in Williamsport, PA. OK, this store is amazing. It's full of home dec and upholstery fabric...for $10 a yard. And if you time your visit, it's marked down! Last year we went right before the 4th of July weekend and it was $7 per yard!
Experience taught me to shop with a purpose. I'm not one of those people who just buys fabric to buy fabric. I buy fabric when I need fabric. Although the store is small, it holds a lot of fabric, which can be overwhelming. I have no problem making decisions but I find that bolts and bolts of beautiful fabric paralyzes me! But I had a purpose...get that slipcover done!
In the spring, I decided to lighten up my living room. There was too much brown and gold; I found that it drained my energy. I ordered a new rug that served as inspiration. I found some paint (haven't painted yet...) and then decided that it was time for a chair re-do. Since I couldn't take my rug with me, I matched up the rug colors with paint sample colors.
OK, now back to the Barn Fabric Center. It didn't take long to find the fabric that I wanted - a blue/green linen (like?? I have no idea). It was plain and soft and beautiful. At $10 a yard, I couldn't pass it up. I needed about 10 yards. He measure it...there was 18 yards...he gave me a deal. I ended up paying $150 for 18 yards!
So here is my work in progress. I'll be writing more about what I did to get ready for it.
Here's the before. It's a dark green chenille - that's already a slip cover. I love this chair. I love the title..."The Simple Slipcover." FYI...it was anything but simple!
My goal for today is to get this finished. We've had a lot of rain, so it's perfect weather to stay inside and sew!

I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) four years ago, and despite prescription medications, my symptoms worsened. Out of desperation, I tried an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Within a few months, my breathing improved, chest tightness eased, and I regained energy and stamina. It’s been life-changing I feel better than I have in years. If you or a loved one is struggling with IPF, I highly recommend their natural approach: www.naturepathherbalclinic.com
