NO SEW CHAIR BACK COVERS StoneGable from www.stonegableblog.com

A few weeks ago, I decided to spruce up my dining room for an upcoming dinner party. However, I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on new furniture or decor. Instead, I decided to focus on making my existing chairs look more elegant with chair covers. The only problem was, I didn’t know how to sew. But, after some research and trial and error, I was able to successfully make chair covers without sewing. Here’s how I did it.

How to Make Chair Covers Without Sewing: Step by Step Guide

Materials:

Fabric
Elastic
Safety pins
Scissors

1. Measure your chairs: Measure the width and height of your chairs. Add an additional 2 inches to both measurements to ensure that the chair covers will fit properly.

2. Cut the fabric: Cut the fabric according to the measurements taken in step 1.

3. Hem the edges: Fold the edges of the fabric over twice and use safety pins to secure in place. This will create a hem around the edges of the fabric.

4. Attach the elastic: Cut a piece of elastic that is slightly shorter than the width of the chair. Attach the elastic to one end of the fabric using safety pins. Then, attach the other end of the elastic to the other end of the fabric. The elastic will gather the fabric and create a snug fit around the chair.

5. Place the cover on the chair: Slip the cover over the chair, with the elastic at the bottom. Adjust the cover as needed to ensure a proper fit.
