Easy Chair Slips

I was looking for a simple way to change the look of my dining room seasonally, beyond just changing the table centerpiece. The solution? Chair slips.

These photos show some of the slips that I have made, and they are super simple to do.

1) Purchase several yards (depending on the number of chairs to cover) of 54"-60" sheer decorative fabric. Check the cut edge of the fabric before purchasing to be sure that it does not fray (unless you want to put in the effort of narrow hemming each slip). The holiday "craft fabrics" all seem to work well.

2) With the fabric folded as it comes from the bolt, cut lengths through both layers from the selvages to the fold. The width of the lengths should be at least 1" wider than the width of the chair back.

3) Using nylon thread, and keeping the fabric folded with right sides together, stitch from the fold down, with a 1/4" seam allowance. The length of the seam should be less than the height of the chair back

4) Turn the slip right-side-to, and voila! A chair slip that will change the look of the enitire room.
