I slipcovered a loveseat once and thought I might be buried alive in fabric!<br /><br />I hope that it holds up well for you in the wash. That was the one drawback of mine. Over time, the seam allowances started to unravel and then some of the seams started splitting open. If I had it to do over, I'd either serge the seam allowances or maybe use bias tape to secure the raw edges.<br /><br />Again, congrats!Kim Taylor Krusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04276530094500297909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106620262041679670.post-61872802521927875132011-03-28T02:19:53.447-05:002011-03-28T02:19:53.447-05:00Wow! this is so great!
