($35 each) i just cut it out, sewed it up, and they turned out fantastic! the real trick is having a pattern - buying an old cover that you can cut up is your best bet. if that�s not an option, you can take large sheets of newspaper and lay them up against the chair, attempting to trace the size and shape of each fabric piece. then you simply use these paper templates as your pattern, tracing them onto fabric and cutting them out. if you use this method, i�d recommend using a fabric with a little bit of stretch to it, so that the cover will be sure to fit. and using a patterned fabric, rather than a solid color, will help hide any mistakes you may have made!" curtain slipcover mary does an about turn with the curtains she bought and sews slipcovers for her loveseat instead. she writes, "i bought the <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10112016">ikea stockholm blad</a> curtains but when i got them home i decided to make a slipcover for my new loveseat instead. i kept the seat pillow plain on purpose to keep it from looking over-patterned." <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWONn9odmvKbi3mB9C0BHHKovtVZeQS76v3VwZaxBPqYghZQrhH5hsiKPGsJ-GXxYypQ9FBJddBNY66tEuYeY5dU2LuB4LTR8xACR4WKoQjISJe_LZw4KgqCzeMwnSAzGVA5oLgbmlMtPz/s1600-h/loveseat.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195284619946826594" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWONn9odmvKbi3mB9C0BHHKovtVZeQS76v3VwZaxBPqYghZQrhH5hsiKPGsJ-GXxYypQ9FBJddBNY66tEuYeY5dU2LuB4LTR8xACR4WKoQjISJe_LZw4KgqCzeMwnSAzGVA5oLgbmlMtPz/s400/loveseat.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a> another curtain slipcover <a href="http://www.swestiedesigns.com/" target="_blank">sallie</a> says, "here's an old family chair that i had professionally upholstered in a fantastic set of <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10117486">hedda curtain</a> panels! she used the pieces taken off to create the new pattern. it took two sets of curtain panels to get the stripes to match up just right." <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIA96AcAmUeCnbIjSFgTL5kJUk8XEXQGk1in9GNINze6xibdoQwn3znn_8IyXi8CHT3aEuvnnu5TMi_KevYLScVIv5nhsi3TaLLGr5ms99DT5pRPChG7uf5_At9TSiyauwCFV9CZjUSZks/s1600-h/sallie+chair.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195286204789758850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIA96AcAmUeCnbIjSFgTL5kJUk8XEXQGk1in9GNINze6xibdoQwn3znn_8IyXi8CHT3aEuvnnu5TMi_KevYLScVIv5nhsi3TaLLGr5ms99DT5pRPChG7uf5_At9TSiyauwCFV9CZjUSZks/s400/sallie+chair.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a> sea themed stool guisy does a decoupage on an old ikea stool. she says, "i've decorated it with pictorial decoupage method, acrylic colours, a sea landscape paper napkin, some jamaican sand (original) and finished with water shine and matte varnish (for the legs)." <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRoZFuOE2liJVDdsEDaVw6DIWxdls_Norsa1DVy1DxyCh1ojjD5KvkSRVmBICol-QeAzxVLvXOr_zklfjXbhBGV-H9aRVIWUobvdXNDfWElE_SG4uu_DxBF6bziGnVU7fQ0DP4eYJJOEnt/s1600-h/Vecchio+sgabello.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195288824719809442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRoZFuOE2liJVDdsEDaVw6DIWxdls_Norsa1DVy1DxyCh1ojjD5KvkSRVmBICol-QeAzxVLvXOr_zklfjXbhBGV-H9aRVIWUobvdXNDfWElE_SG4uu_DxBF6bziGnVU7fQ0DP4eYJJOEnt/s400/Vecchio+sgabello.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a> jokkmokk fun lucia adds some colour to the <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80086575">jokkmokk</a>. more pictures <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/anibal_k/2386424785/" target="_blank">here</a>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq7cmbmU74da178c9CAgUT8BiY3kikQ-dlmEL8F82tPzBwHZpZgq1pvkp16eztey2DrofRovoE_nexk8DDQOw4QcrzEDTCbfCVsJd65NgTXKCYC0eqFVvaRLi7a8UngScxbyDXkod8AKUn/s1600-h/2386424785_6c6a33e879.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195290942138686418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq7cmbmU74da178c9CAgUT8BiY3kikQ-dlmEL8F82tPzBwHZpZgq1pvkp16eztey2DrofRovoE_nexk8DDQOw4QcrzEDTCbfCVsJd65NgTXKCYC0eqFVvaRLi7a8UngScxbyDXkod8AKUn/s400/2386424785_6c6a33e879.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a> and lastly, the most important seat in the house donn� noom gives us a hack for the seat we often take for granted.
