Slipcover Design Contestant Q

This client purchased a pair of these at an estate sale. The arm fronts were quite tattered with the stuffing showing through. We chose a suitable fabric for the chairs to “live” on her covered patio but still give a light air to her outdoor room.

I delivered the slipcovers (yes, it was a pair) and surprise- she forgot to mention that she wanted box pleating on the front sides. She claimed it was shown in the picture but not the picture I had!

So the solution (other than starting nearly all over) was to replace the front from the edge of the deck on down. The pleating is not a standard depth as there was nothing to attach the outside pleat to other than hand tack it to the side itself. I was concerned that it would pull on the side and pucker if it were any deeper. The client is now a happy camper.
