Hello! I’m Karen Powell, owner of The Slipcover Maker.

My custom-made slipcovers and slipcover replacements are a practical solution for giving your worn & loved furniture a fresh, new look.

If your chair or sofa has good bones and still offers comfy-support it’s an ideal candidate for a slipcover makeover.

I specialize in working with washable, natural fiber fabrics to make casual, family-friendly slipcovers.

Each slipcover is made by me at my workroom in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

With a background in sewn product design and textile development, I bring over 30 years experience in fabric selection, pattern making and construction to your slipcover project.  View my work.
