Quilted Cushion Covers for Vintage Settee
This vintage settee makeover was inspired by the rich textured look of matelasse fabric. Instead of spending a fortune on the real stuff my customer found quilted king and twin size coverlets for a steal. They worked great for her custom covers.
Padded and quilted, that’s exactly what we needed to cover the worn upholstery and random lumps from old springs. I also attached a cushy layer of batting for extra loft and comfort. And, of course, there is the animal print piping!
Really glad to have found your blog! Work is beautiful and I find your fabric weight etc helpful.id like to know how and if you handle attached back sofas . I am not a fan of look and often talk clients into detach and I cover individual cushions. Didn’t know if you have a system of leaving them attached and slipcover still looking custom and tailored. Thank you Lisa Connelly Ljcstyle.com

Hi Lisa, thanks for stopping by! Re attached backs — I almost always detach the back cushion. So much easier and cleaner. When I can’t detach the cushion I use a pattern method I learned from Pat Reese http://www.patreese.com/store/product_info.php/products_id/72 It takes a little practice but you will master it in no time.
