Elise’s pair of Pottery Barn Brooks Chairs were used more by her dogs than her and her husband. “No more!,” she wrote, “we’re taking them back for ourselves!”
Right on, Elise!
I received her original slipcover to copy in a cotton print, Ikat Spots. It’s a home decor fabric of medium weight with a directional pattern that required matching. I’m not sure how it washes. This slipcover was made to dry clean only.
The Brooks is a slipper chair design with an attached seat cushion. The fitted cover pulls on (no zipper or Velcro closure) and has a flap style skirt. I kept the slipcover copy simple like the original with only one row of welt cord and minimal top stitching to finish the seams and hem.
All I can say is WOW…working with Karen was a pleasure. Every aspect of the transaction was seamless. The attention to every detail from the shipping process, fabric selection and recommendation, construction and billing. I could tell as soon as I opened the box and found the handwritten thank you card that Karen had poured her heart into her work. I confirmed that fact when I felt the fabric and examined the stitching. The thread had all been trimmed to perfection on the inside of the cover. I was not surprised that the fit was perfect.
My Crate and Barrel chair looks new again.
Thanks Karen, I am a customer for life. Five stars all the way.
