This wing chair sat quietly in the corner of this client’s living room, unnoticed except for the fact that it was clearly didn’t fit into the décor and color scheme, though it filled the need to fill a space. 
My client was in the midst of updating a lot of elements of her home and also preparing for a high school graduation. This was the one piece of furniture that begged immediate attention. Her husband would rather have gotten rid of it, but Anne Marie had another idea. I helped her find the right lightweight cotton blend fabric that would work well with the navy blue and white trimmed living room furniture and the white and greige kitchen you could see from that corner of the room where the chair was designated. 
We kept the design the same as the original chair but with a bluish gray contrast cording to emphasize the curviness of the chair. The bottom of the slipcover Velcro’s to the bottom of the chair to give this newly slipcovered chair the appearance of an upholstered piece of furniture. I refurbished the cushion by adding another inch of foam to the existing cushion along with new cushion wrap. Can you see the difference?
If you are considering using a patterned fabric for your project, be sure to figure in extra fabric to pattern match. This fabric had a repeat of the pattern both vertically and horizontally. What is this exactly? It is the distance in inches of where the pattern starts and ends and then starts over again.
I try to match the flow of the design from front to back, from the top of the chair onto the cushion and from the cushion onto the bottom of the chair, as well as the boxing around the cushion (at least on the front where you will see it). Curves and angles of chair can make this challenging if not impossible in certain areas but it is just one of those little details that I won’t skimp on to give the finished piece a professional look.
The end result of this chair got a thumb’s up and approval from the husband. That is always a plus!
