Where can I find this fabric for slipcovers?

12 years ago

I fell in love with this living room a year or 2 ago and still love it. I've made the assumption that the couch and chairs were previously owned and the owner simply had slipcovers made for them (let me know if you think I'm wrong and maybe they were ordered with the slipcovers) I've searched the internet and local fabric stores to find this fabric and can't find anything similar.

From Favorite colors

Any suggestions on where to find the fabric? Any suggestions on where I can find similarly styled couch and chairs. I guess it's the legs and arm styles that I find so appealing.

Thanks in advance.

I have search everywhere and can't find a tough wearable black and white houndstooth fabric for kitchen slipcovers. I need something I can remove and throw in the washing machine. Does anyone have any suggestions or links to share? Thanks! Kristina

Did you ever find a slipcover for your chair? I have a Bauhaus sofa chair that I've been searching for a slipcover for as well.

Have you checked out Joann's? Waverly has indoor/outdoor fabric on there called sundial that's similar (though not sure if it's in the same colors). Right now it's 50% off, too, so you may be able to find something that will work for a better price. It gets a good review, too (though it's only one...)

The simple answer is yes, but. You can grab a pattern from your local fabric store. They do make them for recliners. Or if you've ever made your own patterns, you could treat the bulk of the chair like any other upholstered chair (pin fabric wrong sides out, draw across with disappearing ink, etc.) and then sew elasticized cozies (like little fitted sheets) for the moving parts taking extra care to line up the patterns properly.

Fabric Guru has some. It definitely is matelasse.

Is it the thick, puckery, style of the fabric that you especially love, or the color of the blue on the sofa? You can find matelasse fabric fairly economically if you search, I have recently ordered samples ($10.95-$12.95 per yard) from House of Fabrics online, but that blue will be another story.

Thank you for all of the suggestions. I'll check out the sites this weekend.

red - it's' both, the puckery and the color, but I am flexible as to colors, so I'll give HOF a try too.

Really appreciate the fabric search assistance.

Any thoughts on where to find similarly styled furniture? I've checked out the obvious (PB, WE, RH). I'm guessing these were old pieces. I really like the boxy arms and cute legs.

I have a tremendous fear of going into a furniture store - I always fear being talked into something I don't want - so I do prefer online shopping.

I'm not sure whether they ship or not, but here's an idea for you. Here in Houston we have a place called Interior Fabrics. They have a website (in conjunction with Cutting Corners). They make custom furniture. Although I have never purchased from them, I have long wanted to. The quality in their showroom, which is attached to their fabric store here, is fabulous. You might try looking at their website, and then emailing them a photo to show them what you are looking for. You might get exactly that, and all from the comfort of home!
