The client to whom this chair belongs was my very first client in Coronado way back in 2002. She likes her slipcovers VERY fitted, and requested a zipper instead of the usual buttons-down-the-back.
This fabric proved to be a bit of a challenge because of the pattern, which had to be matched everywhere. Also, she had bought all Calico Corners had, and, really, I thought it probably wasn't going to be enough. Luckily, I was able to railroad the fabric, which meant I could make the entire slipcover out of it without having to use another for the welting and/or deck.
The zipper is on the other side, but I did such a good job that my client didn't realize I had put one in.
The skirt has gathered corners.
I was especially happy with how it turned out, given that the wings made it that much harder to make sure it all matched. My client was happy, too, and that's what really counts!
