Slipcovers can update the look of and protect your furniture. A slipcover for a wingback chair doesn’t need to follow a pattern because the chair becomes your pattern. Wingback chair slipcovers are also forgiving, since you tuck material between the wings and around and beneath the cushion. You can fully sew the pieces of the slipcover together or use fasteners that lets you easily take apart the slipcover in case you need to wash or replace it. Take off the wingback chair cushion. Measure your wingback chair to get an idea of how much fabric you need. For the main part of the slipcover, measure from the back of the chair, starting at the floor, and measure up and over the chair, across the part where the cushion rests and down the front of the chair to the floor. Adding 6 inches or so to your measurements allows room for a hem at the front and back of your slipcover and help in the event of a sewing mistake. Measure the width of the chair, from one wing to the other and down to the floor.

Drape the fabric for the main section of your slipcover over your wingback chair. Once you’ve covered the chair and left enough room to tuck and sew, pin the fabric to the chair. Mark the edges of your fabric as well as the hemline, then turn over the bottom of the fabric and stitch your hem. Cut fabric for the wings of your chair. You’ll need four pieces, two for either wing. Lay one piece, top-side down on the top of another piece of fabric, and sew along the sides, leaving the back open. Turn out the fabric so it is right-side out. Place over one wing of your chair. Repeat these steps for the other wing. Attach wing covers to the main section of your slipcover. You can sew these pieces together, or you can fasten with a zipper or with buttons so the slipcover comes apart. Replace the chair cushion before putting on your finished slipcover. Tuck extra fabric between the wings and around the cushion. Place the slipcover on your chair. Things You Will Need Measuring tape

I knew I got them for a bargain price of $50 for two chairs and two ottomans but thinking about it now, was it a bargain with all that I had to go through to make slipcover them? I first ummed and ahhed over whether to make slipcovers or get them re-upholstered professionally. After a quote of nearly $2000 to get them re-upholstered professionally I chose to make slipcovers (After picking myself up from the floor). I started with the ottomans to get my confidence up and to start with something easy on my first slipcover. I had some dramas to start off with but after overcoming them and getting the hang of pinning and sewing piping I was on fire. I completed the ottomans within a couple of weeks and I was proud as punch with the result. It was a mess ( picture above really doesn't do it justice), puckers, horrible sewing, it was a train wreck and this was just a practice run. God help me with the proper ones. I was scared now. I watched Miss Mustard Seeds Video Tutorials on sewing slip covers and that helped me heaps.

It was many many months after I finished the ottomans that I started to attempt sewing the proper slipcovers! Then on one fateful spring day.... I pinned and sewed the last seam, snipped the last piece of cotton and ironed the last piece of fabric..... I was complete and boy was I ecstatic! The legs I bought and stained are yet to go on but all the sewing is done! They are not 100% perfect but I am happy with them so sit back and enjoy the end result!Rooted in practicality and a stylish addition to libraries or formal living rooms for centuries, is a classic worth revisiting for today’s home. Striking, sensible, and überversatile, these winged wonders can be used in so many ways around your home. Angled in front of a working fireplace, these chairs will function as they were originally intended: to shield you from the direct heat of the fire. Scroll down to the bottom of the post to read more.) And even if your fireplace doesn’t function, draw attention to pretty detailing or a well-styled mantel by flanking it with a pair of chairs.

You can always bring the heat with a bold upholstery choice. A leather wingback placed in a foyer signals to all who enter that this is a cozy, comfy house where you can sit back, relax, and stay awhile. Plus it’s always nice to have a spot on which to perch while taking off shoes or putting them on. And leather only gets better with age: Over time, a well-loved chair will develop that gorgeous inimitable patina. If you dig the look of mix-and-match seats (or your table fits eight, but you fell in love with a set of six you just couldn’t pass up), consider subbing in a pair of wingbacks at the head and foot of the table. Their plush silhouettes are a fun juxtaposition against the leaner lines of more-traditional dining chairs, drawing your eyes outward and making the room seem wider. There’s something about these chairs that screams boudoir, especially when the style in question is an exceptionally curvy black-and-white design. If you’re lucky enough to have a spacious closet, stick it in there, and you’ll be sitting pretty while slipping on your shoes.

Or create a lounge area in one corner of your room that’s perfect for curling up with a good book. Feminine versions of this chair play well with luxe run-your-toes-through-it rugs, upholstered accents like headboards or ottomans, and sexy light fixtures. There’s power in numbers: Make a distinct design statement by placing twin chairs side by side in your living or TV room. Topping them with a pair of matching pillows will further drive the point home. Generally speaking, when used in the middle of a space, lower-back designs don’t break up the flow of the room; taller versions should be left to room edges and corners. A wingback chair can make an eye-catching desk companion. It not only looks impressive, but it’s also a comfortable place to park yourself while working. And the curves play well against the desk’s lines and angles. Find a seat with low-enough armrests to allow you to belly up comfortably to your paperwork. To Create a Reading Nook Thanks to its height and stately presence, a single chair can give purpose to a hard-to-define space.
