It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain.
Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. 1 - 20" x 48 1/2" Fabric 2 - 45" x skirt length UPDATE: The first, FIRST thing you have to do is make the chair. The first thing is to cut your fabric. I made two chair slipcovers, and because I used directional striped fabric, I layed out the pieces as shown in the diagram. If your pieces do not have a direction, you could lay them out differently. Also, I made my skirts 12" long - you can make your skirts any length with 18" being floor length. From 45" wide fabric, you will need to cut two strips per chair. Take the main seat/back piece and fold it over with right sides together so the fold overlaps 16 1/4". Pin and stitch with 1/4" inseams along edge. At this point, I recommend fitting the slipcover over your chair to make sure the fit is right. If you are satisfied, remove and then clip in 1" at base of fold over as shown in diagram. Then fit slipcover back on chair, still with wrong side facing outward.
The corners will come to a point as shown in picture. Pin and draw a line over the excess fabric as shown in photograph. Remove and stitch over line. Clip off excess fabric leaving 1/4" for seam allowance. This completes the seat/back! Turn so right sides are out and fit over chair. Now all we need is the skirt! For the skirt you will need a long strip. Sew the two strips together to create this long strip using 1/4" inseams as shown in diagram. Now you can add the skirt by gathering or as I did with a single kick pleat. I thought the kick pleat was easier. If you choose to gather, simply gather along one edge of the entire skirt, pin and stitch in place and finish your back seam. For the kick pleat, line up the center seam of the skirt with the center of the main seat/back piece. Then pin and stitch from center outward, turning front corner, stitching along side still at 1/4" seam, and then turning back corner. Stop after 2" (approximately) from back corner. Do the opposite side, starting again at the front center and turning front and back corners and stopping approximately 2" after back corner.
Now we just got this back piece of the skirt to figure out. What I did was sew the two skirt ends together first. Then I found the center of the back piece and matched up with center back seam of skirt and pinned. Then I pinned excess fabric into a kick pleat with right sides together. And then I just stitched it all up. And then I just hemmed the entire skirt by pressing under and stitching. You could even hem before attaching skirt to seat/back but I wanted an opportunity to adjust the hem if necessary.

Home & GardenDecoratingHow to Make Slipcovers for Dining Room Chairs How to Make Slipcovers for Dining Room Chairs Making slipcovers for your dining room chairs is so easy. It takes a bit of fussing, but no sewing, and the results are elegant. All you have to do is wrap, drape, tie, pin, and arrange the fabric so it’s perfect to your eye. Watch out — this treatment is so easy you may find yourself making new slipcovers just because your mother-in-law is coming for dinner on a Friday night (well, maybe not . . . ). Most dining room chairs are generally the same size, give or take a few inches. For this project, the chair was 44 inches high x 20 inches wide x about 22 inches deep. You need about 3 yards of 45-inch-wide fabric to cover one standard-size dining room chair. If you have an oversize dining table and chair set and your dining room chair is wider, you may consider using 60-inch-wide fabric to guarantee adequate coverage. To measure your dining room chair, start with the length.
From the back of your chair, measure up and over the seat back, across the cushion and front and down to the floor in front. For the width, measure the entire chair from left side to right, starting on the floor on one side and going over the seat down to the floor on the other side. If you choose wisely, one neutral style of fabric can give you plenty of use, because it can assume many attitudes as you add contrasting, interchangeable ropes, ribbons, twines, and other trims to alter your slipcover’s appearance. Unless you’re a good fabric cutter, when you’re fabric shopping for four chairs, be sure to add an extra half-yard or yard of fabric for each chair, in case you make a mistake. You can always use the extra for some pretty coordinating napkins or placemats. The satin ribbon adds a really festive touch. You may have enough ribbon or comparable trim in your sewing kit already, so dig around a bit. Here are the items you need to make this slipcover for one dining room chair:
Enough fabric to cover each chair Iron and ironing board A box of 2-inch safety pins 3 yards of 1-inch-wide satin ribbon A box of straight pins These few steps couldn’t be simpler: Iron all your fabric well, so that it easily drapes over the chair. Starting at the floor in front of the chair and ending at the floor in the back of the chair, evenly drape the fabric over the chair. Working from behind the chair, take the edges of the fabric that are near the top of the back of the chair and tie them in a knot. Pull the edges of the fabric that hang underneath the knot toward the base of the chair (where the back meets the seat), and pin them into place to create a wall of fabric across the outside chair back. Add the decorative ribbon if and where you want. If you have an open-back chair, you can cut two 1-inch holes in the fabric at the inside back of the chair base (near the chair’s solid, back support area), thread 1-inch-wide ribbons through the holes, and tie them in two bows.
