Average Customer Ratings:

Give new life to your furniture--sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, director's chairs, deck chairs, daybeds, headboards, dressing tables, futons, footstools, blanket chests, folding screens--with the good-looking projects in this well-presented book. Basics are fully covered: working with color, pattern, and texture; measuring all types of furniture; and preparing the cutting layout. Each individual slipcover project is thoroughly explained, with directions on measuring the specific piece of furniture, a cutting diagram, a set of detailed step-by-step instructions accompanied by clear diagrams, and photos of the finished products. Though a few of the more tailored pieces require some degree of sewing experience, many of the items can be successfully achieved by the novice.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Not for the Beginner -
Slipcover Magic is a complete book that includes many beautiful and detailed slipcover styles. I am at beginning stages of sewing--therefore I needed more detail explaining calculating yardage, pin fitting, and construction techniques. For a more experienced seamstress this is probably a great resource. However, I felt that it lacked the simple details I needed in order to proceed with my basic slip cover project. Simple Slipcovers by Sunset provided the basic detail I was looking for.

Great help -
I found this book to not only help me with a sofa slipcover color selection, but also with the overall look/theme of my living room. I recommend it highly.
