A well-tailored slipcover is the most flexible upholstery investment a family makes. It looks like upholstery, it can be removed and washed (or replaced seasonally), and it protects the underlying piece. For lake-house and family environments — where sun, sand, dogs, and kids all live on the same sofa — a slipcover is often the right answer.
Slipcover fitting is its own discipline — it is not "upholstery without staples."
We come to your home to fit muslin patterns to your existing furniture. Every cushion, every cushion seat, and every back is templated separately.
Muslin patterns are translated to the chosen fabric in our shop. Pattern repeats, welt orientation, and tie placement are all calibrated.
Welt cord, ties, hooks, or hidden zippers are sewn in. The slipcover should look tailored, not draped.
The finished slipcover is fitted in your home and adjusted for cleanest sit.
Belgian linen, cotton duck (often pre-washed for soft hand), and performance linen-look fabrics (Crypton, Sunbrella) dominate our slipcover work. For lake houses, we strongly recommend solution-dyed performance fabrics — they survive UV, chlorine, and dog claws.
