Slipcover Linen Favorite: Washed Navy Blue

A request for a washed, navy blue linen slipcover is a sure sign of spring!

For this project I updated Roz’s vintage channel back chair with a 100% linen canvas in color navy blue. I love this dark inky color. It has just the right amount of black to make it a classic navy.

Roz found this 12 oz. linen at her local fabric store. It was weighty without being stiff and offered good coverage over worn upholstery.  The after washed look was beautiful! It came out of the dryer with a soft dimpled texture and floppy drape — like a good quality linen should. If you’re working with linen be sure to follow my pre-shrink instructions.

Roz’s vision for her new slipcover was casual with a tailored fit….and a little pleated skirt, which I will be adding. Cute! That’s easy to achieve with this type of linen. It’s versatile and works well for many different slipcover designs.
