How To Slipcover A Rolled Arm Camel Back Sofa
In this video tutorial you will learn the skills and techniques that I use to make custom fitted slipcovers. We will go over measuring for your fabric cuts, cutting your fabric, sewing and marking for arm panels, pin fitting your slipcover body, marking the bottom of your slipcover for finishing, and sewing a cushion with a zipper and welt cord.
This is not a beginner slipcover project and requires advanced sewing skills.
