If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me to sew them some slipcovers I could probably retire. Ok, not really. But, it is a very common question I get.

Slipcovers are incredibly intimidating for people. I get it. Even the more experienced seamstresses out there get nervous.

But, here's the big secret: You don't need a pattern to make a slipcover!

That's right. Your piece of furniture is the pattern.

In this tutorial, I outline exactly how I slipcovered one of my parsons chairs, elegant ruffle included.

No Pattern DIY Slipcover Tutorial

-Once you have your fabric decided on, wash and dry it.
-Decide where you want your seams and lay the fabric (right side down) in sections over the different parts of the furniture.
-Be sure to leave some over hang on all the edges, this will be your seams.
-Now, start pinning along the lines where you will stitch your seams. Keep the your lines straight and the fit nice and snug.
-Once your pins are in place for one section, you are ready to stitch exactly along the lines of pins, removing the pins as you go.
-Turn the slipcover section inside out and make sure that it does indeed fit the way you want it to.
-Then, turn it wrong side out again and trim the edges of the fabric down to about 1/2 inch.
-Repeat this process several times for each of your fabric sections until you have your slipcover.
(To see how I made the ruffle, see the video)
To hem the bottom, trim leaving about three inches beyond where you want the bottom to be.
-Now, iron the hem 1/4 inch up, all the way around.
-Then repeat this step again, folding it a couple inches up and ironing in place as you go..
-Stitch in place using a wide stitch and you. are. done.
