Quilted Recliner Slipcover-thing
 

You know that big thing in the living/TV room? The one that gets grubby and full of snack crumbs? No, not the DH....his recliner!

Well, the one in my living room looked pretty grubby and needed a new outfit. So I quilted a couple of yards of fabric to a plain black backing then pinned and cut and sewed like making a slipcover but with binding around the edges. Came out pretty well. It tucks in at the back and sides...needs adjusting after DH and the dogs have wrestled around in it, but it goes in the wash and comes out clean!

That is so cool, Pretty too! You've got to do a Tut!! I spend a lot of time in my recliner because of medical issues. This would be perfect!!! I cover the arms and stuff with a sheet but it's not anywhere near as pretty as that cover!!

I agree, would love to see a tutorial on how you did this. Beautiful and so wonderfully functional. Waiting (smile)!

Wow I love it.

This is a really clever idea! Thanks for showing it... now, can I do that? maybe...

A great idea, I need to get to work on one for my sad recliner.

What a neat Idea!

Nice Job! I love the fabric!

Love the colors....Great idea. Love your Blue walls(my favorite color).....wish I could have Blue walls...my husband thinks the only color for walls is white!!

What a great idea!!!! Thanks for sharing.

Great idea! I agree with the others, please do a tute.

Beautiful!

Have been talking to my DH about just such a thing. Love yours! Definitely need some guidelines if not the tute. Thanks for showing us!

what a great idea!! I'd do one for my hubby's chair but it's about to fall apart as it is. He's tough on furniture!!

What a clever, clever girl you are!!!! Why didn't I think of that?? Very pretty and washable too!!!

Love it. Love the colors too.

Great idea, We sure could use one for our recliner.

Great idea..good job, very nice. Now is a tute possible? Would love it.

How clever and resourceful you are....looks great!

Ditto to what's already been said. Think we all need 1 or 2 of those! I love the colors in your house too!

That is so clever - I love this!!! Great job - you can seriously sell these!

Nice job! and so easy to take off and wash. what a great idea!

That is very pretty and it goes so well with your wall color & white woodwork.

how very nice, and please do a tute!

Yep. I gotta have one, too. Been thinking my recliner was quite shabby but it's in excellent working condition.

I need a couple of those for my recliners. Sandy

What an exelcent idea!

Very creative of you!

How clever is that!! I might give it a try, especially the one over the head rest.

that is such a great idea! maybe you could sell them for a bit of stash-building funds... I also noticed your floor covering! Made me smile. :-) And love the blue walls/white woodwork/built-ins.

Very cleaver. I would love a tut also.

Wow...thank you, guys and gals! I'd thought about making a second one for this chair, so I'll do a tutorial as I make it. Just give me a week or so!!

And thanks for your comments about the room and colors. We live in a 1909 vintage house that we've (mostly) restored...with lots of color and lots of built-ins. The china cabinet in the picture is original to the house. Someone commented on the floor covering...it's a rug I found at a charity sale years ago...actually it's a 12' square of carpet that was bound on the edges. Very colorful.

So...I'll get to working on that tute!

I have So got to make this..I told DH it needs to be recovered, but our Only shop closed this past summer...your idea is cool as it can be removed and washed! yay!

Just read your going to do a tute and all I can say is thank you, can't wait!

Great idea, and I love the fabric. It would look great in my living room. Good job.

I have a recliner in need of a fix and yours is beautiful. Will you tell how you made it? Would really like a new cover on ours.

Really great idea, I need one.

that is really neat, every home that has a recliner needs one
