Custom linen slipcovers are more popular than ever. Each month, you can find multiple examples of expertly-crafted slipcover designs in bleached-white, natural, or colorfully printed linen gracing the pages of the most popular shelter magazines. Learn about how this natural fiber is processed for textiles and the long history of its use for slipcovers to protect upholstered furniture. You will be inspired to create classic details (like micro-cord, scalloped edges, ties, button closures, and short pleated ruffles) and learn techniques to minimize the challenges and highlight the beauty of linen fabric.
