Marge's Custom Slipcovers               

                         Ruffled bed skirt (not shown) and matching throw pillows completed this bedroom.

          Upholstered headboard and bedskirt are the same fabric.  Shams have a 3 inch flat flange and the duvet cover is backed with a solid sheet.          

                                 The antique iron bed valance is made from two antique bureau scarves sewn together, gathered to fit and stitched on to Velcro.   Standard shams were transformed into Euro shams by adding bands of fabric on all four sides, cording and ruffle.

                                 Pleats are evenly spaced , one pleat in the center of each section of glass, a pleats where each of the slider frames overlap, when slider is closed, and longer pleats on either end.

  My customer requested  4 crewel pieces, about 50 years old and handed down  from her Aunt, be made into pillows. She choose  velvet for the back and a twisted rope to trim the front outter edge.

                                            The fabric pattern dictated  the valance shape.

                  At the customers request I created a Roman shade, swag  and a twin bedspread (not shown) from an old pair of  drapes . The rosette swag holders are mounted on plywood circles, attached to wooden dowels, and mounted to wall with metal L brackets. The rosette fabric is the same as the long single curtians that hang over the Roman shade.
