Slipcovering:
for Washable Furniture!
What do you want in a Slipcover Fabric?
Homespun's wide fabrics are fantastic for slipcovers. They are washable, durable and are a non-toxic fabric. Using the natural look, you can trim with a contrasting color, or use the same fabric for a monochromatic, luxury look. (Photo courtesy of It Seams To Me)
"I love the contrast piping look. It looks so regal against the naturals in Homespun. Then if I change my colors, I just change the piping to match!" Nancy Whitehouse, Abilene TX.
Allergies? Children? Pets? . . .
Slipcovers are a godsend if you have young children, pets or health problems such as dust, animal allergies, or asthma. Your child spills or gets dirt on the furniture. Your dog or cat sheds fur and flea eggs on your sofa. Dust, dirt and flea eggs just get ground into conventional upholstered furniture. It looks unsightly and embarrassing, and can cause a variety of heath problems.
No problem with a slipcover. Just take it off and wash it. Slipcovers are made to be washed, and they're easy to care for. If you like the casual look, just throw it in the wash. If you prefer a crisper look, you can either professionally wash & press, or dry clean it.
"I enjoy the washable fabrics because I do paintings on the pillows in water base paints, so when I want a new look, I throw it in the wash, and voila! I have a new canvas for a new picture! Sometimes I also do it on the skirt front." Stella Sanders, Chicago IL.
Slipcovered furniture is practical . . .
You can always match them with new décor by just changing
the slipcover. The more conventional upholstered furniture may 
have to be
thrown away. A shame when you note the quality of workmanship in older pieces.
As a result, slipcovered items have a longer life. You save dollars and get more
use out of your furniture investment. (Photo courtesy of

"I've made gorgeous slipcovers for several other pieces of furniture and this fabric is MARVELOUS!!!" L Blethen, Bridgeton NJ
Versatility . . .
Slipcovers continue to remain extremely popular over the years. Versatility is only one of the advantages to owning slipcovered furniture. Although most people associate slipcovers with a loose casual look, they can also be made to look just like a traditional upholstered couch.
"Your fabric is wonderful. I want to make a new slip cover for a couch that has one on it made with your fabric. After at least 25 yrs with numerous washings, it is still perfect. It was my mother's and now after 8 years I want the natural. In this throw away society, it is nice to get something that will last!!!" S. Moore, Pocasset MA
