I'm so excited. I found a seamstress to make me a slipcover for my oversized wing chair in the study for $265. Of course I don't have $265. I also don't have the fabric that is required for that project. But still.I've heard of people paying $150 for custom slipcovers but apparently nobody in my part of the world has heard that bit of news. I'm not going to let that dampen my spirits. I guess that makes $265 one sweet deal. I'm gonna start saving my pennies.
I'm thinking if I don't buy any of you Christmas presents and if I feed my family the 4 for $1 mac and cheese for the foreseeable future then I should have that slipcover by next summer. And since I don't have to spend important mental energy figuring out what gift to get all of you, I can start focusing on the important questions. Cotton duck? Linen? Matelasse?
I hope you get your chair slipcover and you will save money by not buying me a gift......just watch out for that drive through food.......a darling post.....
ReplyDeleteGo for it!
ReplyDeleteThis is another reason I wish I knew how to sew beyond a straight line. Unfortunately, I started sewing the curtains for my kitchen - the first panel turned out perfect - until I found out I had measured wrong!!!
ReplyDeleteGo for it, Jen! Maybe some magic will work its way to you and you'll get the slipcover faster than you think. You never know...
ReplyDeleteHey Jen everyone love macaroni and cheese especially when you make it. I too hope you get your slipcover in the near future. I love the style you have chosen. I would love to find someone that can make slips too. I've got the fabric just need the seamstress. RJ
ReplyDeleteHi Jen,
ReplyDeletefingers crossed that you'll get such a slip cover soon! Somehow! It looks great!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a nice comment!:D I'm going to discover your blog now! Love the name cottage nest!
Jen....confused...is that the pic of your chair? It looks like it has cute little ruffles..looks good as is to me???? Like it is linen already??? Or am I wrong, lol. I would be on cloud nine if I had a neat chair like that. cherry
ReplyDeleteThe chair in the pic is actually from the website of the place that is going to recover mine. Trust me if I already had a chair like that I would be in heaven!
