The Settee cover’s debutante party!
I love how it turned out!!!
After a couple of weeks noodling how I was going to
stretch 202″ of fabric leftover for skirting
to fit around a sofa that needed
200″
which didn’t include inseams…
I finally came up with the solution:
Gusset inserts of 11″ widths x 9″ tall of beautiful
Battenburg lace.
I wanted to use the lace but wasn’t sure where to cut the drop cloth
to get it all to work.
That’s what has been holding this post up.
😉

| I pulled out the side gusset so you could really see the fabric, but normally it will be tucked under a bit. |

| There was a lot of pinning and re-pinning. Also had to remove pins from under the skirt as I went (that were holding on part of the welting, not already sewn down) I felt like a very couture seamstress!!! |

| Really loving this new slipcover! At month’s end, on payday, a trip to Lowe’s will be in-order… to pick up another drop cloth for Settee #2… (you can see it peeking out over to the left there!) Pretty nice and oh so ready for fall’s afternoon cups of tea and some fun reading. ***Thank you for “Liking,” “Sharing,” and “Following” my posts!
