Ticking Stripe Slipcover for Old Drexel Chair

Outdated yet barely used, this old Drexel Heritage armchair was a perfect candidate for a slipcover makeover.

I enjoy working on traditional chairs like this one. They are the most fun to transform from frumpy to “WOW! I LOVE IT!”.   The boxy silhouette, English rolled arms and tapered legs came to life with a simple slipcover design in classic fabric.

My customer chose a printed stripe. This chalky blue and white ticking pattern is a medium weight home decor cotton from Magnolia Home Fashions. More photos here.
