I have a pair of these cool chairs. I covered them in an oatmeal linen.
The pillow is a soft white linen with natural shell buttons.
This close up shows how beautiful the fabric is!
I put a small knife pleat at the bottom but still let the flaired out legs show.
Here's the before. These chairs are very sturdy and clean.
Thanks for taking a look!

Wow, it looks great! The style of the chairs are really nice and I love the knife pleat detail.
pur-tie...pur-tee!:)
I WANT this chair!! It reminds me alot of the pair I had done in my living room- oatmeal linen with a ruffled skirt on the bottom! Adorable!
Kelly- You did a wonderful job. I love the sweet simplicity of it. The fabric is wonderful and I wish I could touch it...it's almost like I could right through the screen! Hugs- Diana
Oh how I wished you lived closer! I have two similar chairs that need recovered, a couch and two wing back chairs like your previous post...all need slip covered! I keep thinking maybe a fairy will come and do it while I sleep!!
Your work is beautiful!

kelly,
you do a fabulous job with slips. I love linen fabric and the knife pleats are just gorgeous. It's simple, clean and oh so elegant. Thanks for sharing.
Kelly!
Nice to meet you...
You my girl are Crazy Good at the slipcover/ upholstering thing.

Excellent work.

I'm waiting for the inspiration to translate into action - but am sure enjoying the inspiration!
Hi Kelly! I like how you used the linen instead of your usual white, I've always loved linen. They look great!
Another beautiful piece. Your work is awesome. So proud of you!
I love the little pleats. I want these myself.
Those chairs are have such an understated elegant look to them, love, love them. You can really slipcover girlfriend.
You can take ANYTHING and make it drop dead gorgeous!!! I adore this fabric...and the knife pleat...please..it had me at hello. :)
So...did I tell you I borrowed my mom's sewing machine? I am trying my hand at sewing. I am at my best with pillows. :) But it is a start.
Cheers~

oh wow - nice new look on your blog! I love the curved sofa too, it's adorable and looks fabulous with that tiny skirt at the bottom edge.
As usual, they turned out beautifully! You really crank those slipcovers out, don't you? I so want to do a few pieces in linen but all I've seen around seems too lightweight. I did see some heavier fabric in New Zealand earlier this year and the price seemed okay ($32 a meter 55" upholstery grade). In Singapore the linens were too skimpy, I thought. Where do you get your linen? Good source? Heading off to Vietnam where supposedly I should be able to find some good stuff. Now....if only I could make beautiful slips, like YOU!

You totally amaze me with your wonderful ability to recover furniture. I am sooo envious! All your pieces always turn out awesome!
Kelly,
I love the chair... oh I wish I was that good, since I have a couch that is in desperate need of a dress... =)
Kelly, I'm a huge fan of your work, esp the dressmaker details you include. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks Diana! Those details are my favorite part about making them:)
Kelly
Oh, I LOVE this one!! I wish I lived closer so I could hire you to save two sad chairs I have around here. You are so talented!!
You do a really lovely job! Your sewing is so "crisp" and smooth, and I really like the little pleats on the different pieces of furniture!
Thanks for sharing!
Hi, Kelly -
I came here from Southern Hospitality and I'm so glad Rhoda suggested I stop by. I love the look of your slipcovers and your decorating is wonderful, too. I'll be back to visit again.
