The drop cloth I use can be found here: amzn.to/2fz8vkl
UPDATE MUST READ: I have heard from several readers that the brand of drop cloth you buy makes all the difference. I did not know this, since I have only ever used this brand from Amazon (linked above). Other brands turns gray and off white.
UPDATE PART TWO: Thanks to Lori, a lovely reader of my blog, I now know why some other brands won't turn white. The drop cloths I recommend from Amazon are 100% cotton, so bleachable. Some brands are made with 50% polyester, so unbleachable. I knew people were having trouble with other brands, but now I actually know why!

I did it! I’ve only sewn 1 project before and that was a dress for my daughters doll. When I saw your tutorial, you made it look so practical. I had full confidence that I could do it. Well, I did it! Thank you so much for your tutorial!
Congratulations!!!!
Can you tell me how much your drop cloth shrank?
I dont know how i came upon your channel but i am so glad i did, my grandma covered that same way and interior design and clothing was her business and i would watch her for hours, its an ole school technique and so precious to see that its being taught today.😢 thank you
Aww thanks so much! So glad you find it helpful. 😊
Wow, you are brilliant. I’ve been sewing for hmm 🤔 a long time..45+ years and your practical approach has taught me so much. Great work 👍🙋🏼😊
Lovely job. I learned an alternate way of joining the ends of piping other than the overlap method. Sew on the piping to within 3" of where it will meet. Leave enough of the fabric strip so you can turn back a hem at the ends. Butt the cording together precisely. Turn back 3/4" on one end of the fabric strip, making sure it extends beyond the place where the cording butts together. Overlap the other end and turn back about half an inch. Finish attaching the piping to the piece. It takes a bit longer, but gives a professional look, especially handsome on pillows where people will see the joint.
My mom (who was a seamstress) slip-covered our sofa. My M-I-L (also a seamstress) reupholstered the seats of my husband's truck. I'm just not that ambitious. You amaze me, Lisa. You do it all. You remind me of my sister.
Aw thanks!
I learned to do this watching my parents as a child (pre TV) and did it when first married at 20yrs old. My daughter has done the same, soon it will be the grandchildren saving furniture from the landfill. A very useful skill to learn.
wow!!!
thank you thousand times!!
I make my own slip covers ,following your direccions, Im not a professional at all ,I barely know how to sew straight,but thanks to you I did!!! with piping!!! I love you
Awesome!! So glad to hear that!
I always wanted to do this. I knew the basic technique but I faced covering a large couch and a loveseat. Too much work! But after finding your video I was inspired to make them. I bleached dropcloths outside in large tubs and it took me several tries because I started with house brand bleach. Clorox is best. I dried them on the line and let the sun do its magic. For the piping I purchased rope (clothesline) from Tractor Supply...cheap $$ for 100 feet. The slipcovers look amazing and my ratty, kid-worn, dog-pulled furniture is nicely hidden and has the beachy feel I desired. Thanks!!
Well done!
I know this post is four years old however, I can tell at three minutes in that I’m connecting with your process. Thank you for making this…it’s exactly what I needed! 🙌🏻
You are amazing! In one day I’ve learned so much from your videos. Just found you today, with such pleasure! God bless you sweet lady!
Thank you!
Its amazing..mine was a disaster...😔
So basically... You wing it?! 😉😅 Love it, this is totally how I would have done it!
I enjoy watching your videos! I love to sew, so I wanted to check out how you accomplished this one. I would have done it similarly, but there are two things that would have made it just a bit easier for me. Have you heard of fabric markers? The ink washes out of the fabric, or disappears over time. I would have pinned the fabric directly to the chair to keep it from continually shifting, and would have probably used a fabric marker to "connect the dots" created by the pins. Another thought is I might have used my fabric marker to trace the chair seams onto the fabric, then added extra around the markings for the seams. It is encouraging to see you get things done, however you decide to do it!
This is the most peaceful sewing tutorial, Lisa. I am so excited to give this all a go with my craigslist wingback!! I am going to "take you along with me" as I try it out. :)
Thank you so much for this video! I had a blanket from my mother that I always wanted to use for something. Your videos gave me the courage to cut up mom's blanket and use it to cover a wingback chair that I thrifted. I'm in love with how it came out!!! Thank you for the clear instructions and the hints and tips to just do it! :)
Finally! After watching so many DIY vids, I came across yours. You're very resourceful, which is so important. Plus you're creative. Keep on doing what you do. Thanks.
So glad it was helpful for you!! 😊
Wow! Still catching up on your videos. I can’t believe you haven’t been sewing for years and years!! You did a great job. Beautiful.
You're amazing! And with all your beautiful children you still have so much energy. God bless you!
Thank you so much!
Brave woman! I started and stoped doing this about six months ago. Seeing you charge in made me feel better. Thanks for sharing your site on other stuff as well.!
Stumbled upon your channel and was watching your farmhouse finds at thrift stores but I couldn't help but fall in love with your slipcover from the intro, with that sweet ruffle. Then I looked online to buy it and couldn't find anything comparable. Then I stumbled on your video of how to make it. :) I'm a novice seamstress and have never worked with pipping but you've encouraged me to try.
Oh I hope you do try! Thank you so very much for stopping by and watching my videos. :) :) Let me know if you have any more questions with the slipcovering process!
Amazing talent. This sort of thing is becoming a lost art.
You definitely made it look so much easier than I have imagined. I always wanted to try this and I am definitely going for it now. Thank you 🙏
OMG what a great tutorial! I bought an IKEA wingback on craigslist and want to cover it with a drop cloth. Your's is the best tutorial I've seen. I'm off to the fabric store for piping and more pins! Can't wait to get started.
Lisa, great video, as usual! I know you've already sewn a slipcover for your couch, prior to THIS wingback chair video. Perhaps you could sew another couch slip cover (perhaps a Christmas red ticking slipcover?) and do a video on how to tackle slip-covering a couch. I have a great couch purchased at Salvation Arm (for $35.00!) That I'd like to slipcover - a video would be great! Thank you for sharing your projects and simple farmhouse style. ~Sophia
Amazing tutorial! I am going to watch this a few more times before I attempt to do my own chairs and sofa... Thank you!
What a clever young lady! Teaching an old dog new tricks. From down under 🖑👍👍
Well done! I haven't made slip covers for a long time so I thought I would get a refresher course. Your tutorial was really informative. Thanks.
Wow, I have been a sewer for a long time and would never have attempted this, until now, you made this so much easier to understand. Thank You
I'm so impressed by your knowledge & know-how! I can't wait to watch ALL your videos!!! Thank you!!
Excellent you make it easy to follow. I am embarking in making covers for my patio pillows which should be easier but was going to omit the piping, now after seeing you I am determined to add it on. Thanks
Slipcover? Looks like a full on reupholster job. Nicely done!
You make it look so easy! It is overwhelming to me. I reupholstered one of a pair of wingback chairs. After the first one I found someone else to do the second. 😂 it is hard work! Love the way yours turned out.
amazing...i have watched alot of tutorials on slipcovers, your is by far the best,easy to understand and the tips allowed me to have a professional looking piece .thank you
Wow,you did a great job. My grandma could make anything. I wish I'd paid more attention to what she was doing. I didn't get interested in sewing till my 40s. I'm very impressed with how you did this. Awesome job
You are so talented, I’m loving your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
Thank you so much, Janet, for following along! :)
This tutorial is absolutely amazing! Thank you!
WOW I am so impressed with your slipcover video. You make it look so easy. I am going to have to modify some as I am going to try to do one for my old recliner. Fortunately is does not have piping. or a separate cushion. Thinking I will run the front leg lift part with a slip in section to just tuck the bottom edge into. I keep telling myself it can not look any worse than it already does now. NOW to get a drop cloth from HF and go from there. Very excited about this. I painted the fabric on my love seat and matching recliner but when they start to look bad I will also try this slip cover trick of yours. So appreciate your time and ability to not only do this but to create a lovely tutorial out of it.
Thanks so much!
I worked on this today using an old chenille bedspread. It is worn out and my thoughts were to mostly create a pattern. No piping on my recliner which makes things easier. I got it covered making what I had fit and then used a matching rug I wove many years ago as the slip in seat cover I am pleased and will now be buying the painters tarp and see if I can re-create what I did with the spread. Thanks again because I used many of your tips here even though I was doing a different kind of chair.
Been wanting to try. I can't believe how easy you make it look. I'm definitely going to do. Thank you so much.
So enjoyable to watch, I just blind-hemmed a pair of pants, pales in comparison. Thank you so much, looks lovely.
Just found you by accident- so excited - you are my hero. Love the slip cover, cant wait to tackle it.
I am going to make 4. Your work is Beautiful. Thank you for video.
You are definitely a natural. Slip cover is lovely. I tuned in to the beginner video that you recently put out but it turned out that you just talked about doing a beginner tutorial not actually shooting a beginner project. Anyway; after the VLOG was over in the middle of the screen was the thumbnail for this video and I was fascinated to see how this was done. Way over my head because I am truly a beginner. I truly enjoyed it. Now I just now to figure out where your beginner tutorial is. I know I will find it. I the meanwhile, thank you so much for showing how to make a slip cover. It was amazing and quite fascinating.
Thank you so much! Im making my slipcovers out og old jeans. This tutorial is fantastic!
Thank you so much for your help. I've a beautiful wingback chair my dog dug to China in my cushion seat. Thank you thank you thank you 😊😊😊😊❤️😊
I’m so happy to see this because I have a Wing Back char and need to reupholster it.
I have that exact same wing back chair....love this slipcover!
You inspired me and now I have to do my 2 wingback chair before Christmas thanks a lot I ENJOY seeing you doing that
thank you! that was the easiest nonfussy explanation and technique i've come across :) thank you
Yay! What a great tutuorial! Thank you! This is my style of sewing: no patterns (they always throw me off), just jump on and do it! Haha I’ve been dying to cover a comfy-but-faded-and-stained old couch of ours forever. Now I definitely will! Thanks again, and hugs from Brazil! ❤️
Yes!! You sound like me. :) And my oldest daughter is named Ruth.
Farmhouse on Boone that’s adorable! Thank you for the reply ❤️
Really great directions. I'm getting ready to do 2 chairs so this was quite helpful.
Gorgeous! there's no way I can even attempt to do this. I have two beautiful wingback chairs that I would love to cover. I'll leave it to the professionals. Lol
Awww I bet you could! It just takes patience and practice. Lots of practice. ;)
Wow you make it look so easy! Thank you for your step by step instructions.
Thank you for sharing, you did a fantastic job of explaining everything.
Wow! Great job! You are so talented. Great detailed video. I wish I had your tailoring ability and skill.
Beautiful 😁 ill have to watch more of your videos. Thank you for them😍
This has reassured me so much that my approach making a slip cover for an old IKEA sofa might work.
Turned out wonderful you amaze me. I loved watching
You are crazy talented. I'm inspired to try this myself.
Wow !!! You're soooo creative girl. LOVE ❤️ your videos !!!
Thank you so much Sheila!
Can't wait to start!
Brilliant video, you make it look so easy. Will be trying this out. Thanks.
Yay! You can do it! :)
Kudos ...... best tutorial I have seen on making a slipcover. I've sewn two but never for a wing back chair......you are so talented and explain process so thorough..
Glad it was helpful!
I admire you so much for your talent.
Beautifully done....i do not sew so it looks amazing and a lot of work !!!
Consider making use of the crevices in a piece of furniture when designing a slipcover. For covering an upholstered waterbed, I cut sections of 1/2 pvc pipe to insert into rod pockets at certain points. The piped pockets are then wedged into the crevices to hold fabric even and snug. Remove the pipe for laundering the cover. I sewed separate covers for the headboard, footboard, and siderails and overlapped fabric so there would be no gaps where the covers met. The same concept can be used to wrap fabric around the bottom edge of furniture. But instead of using round pipe, something thin and flat like wood lath could work better. There are a variety of notions to temporarily attach the lath pocket to the inside or underside of the bottom frame, velcro, a wood screw inserted through a buttonhole, grommets, binder clips, "L" hooks etc.
👍🏻 well done. Love the music and instruction details.
Your talented and creative , your very blesses , thanks for the video .
I would be stressing out not you , you are so easy going, relaxed
Just wow! After watching ALL your videos this week after i found u, I have to say this is quite amazing! How the heck did u do this?!? Wow so amazing
Aww thanks Nancy!!
Thanks for the video. I've been looking for a tutorial like this for years. Greetings from Argentina. :)
Hi Fabiola! Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope this helps you in slipcovering. :)
Extremely helpful tutorial. Hopefully the same rules apply to my nursery rocker 🤞🤞🤞
Thank you so very much. This is just what I needed.
I have always wanted to do this but did not really know how. My grandmother passed away many years ago and I was given her signal chair. The chair is all n perfect condition , but it is orange! My living room is burgundy, with some good and black. So, the chair is in storage. But, no more. I will get some drop cloth, bleach it and try this. I will either the it or just incorporate whit into my color scheme instead of the black accents. I will make it work as I want my grandmother's chair in my home. Thank you ever so much for your videos.
Just discovered your TH-cam channel. Love everything you've done so far. Look forward to seeing future projects. Great content!
Thank you so much!

Wow this was great.
I may try following your video.
Very cute Lisa!!
Your teaching is so clear. An exilent tutorial!
so glad to hear that!
Lisa, you're a Genius ! ! ! I'm so proud of you, you are the daughter I never had. (If I had a daughter, I'd be honored if she were just like you.) You make this look sooo easy. And, of course, your home is lovely. You really have some cute ideas and I'm learning a lot from you also. Thanks again for this video. 8-)
Aww thanks!
Thank you so much for this, we have a lovely couch it’s just the wrong colour and now I’m going to make a slip cover for it xo
How did your slipcover work out?
You can also just paint your fabric couch/armchairs with diluted acrylic paint
Wow your amazing looks so lovely thank u vicky, I will be following you from now on
Thank you very much for this great tutorial.
UR amazing. Ur step by step made me think I could do that. Thank You
Thank you Theodora!
Not sure if I’ll be daring enough to try it, but I have an old sofa I want to slipcover. This video almost makes me want to try it myself.
I am presently trying this project. It is very time consuming, and can be frustrating, especially around the corners. Next time I will hire someone. You did a great job on yours. I am ready to give up on mine, but I think I will leave it for a couple of days and then come back to it.
Don't stop before the magic happens....you can finish this!
Thank you for this tutorial!!
Absolutely Beautiful!! You are so talented! I have just found your channel and love it!!
Thank you so much, Randi!
