<<from C.P. in Texas
More pictures from C.P.below!




These three pictures were sent in by L.L.from Canada. She says...
"These are pictures of the small couch I slipcovered for our cottage. The seams aren't perfect, but I am very happy with the results regardless. I ran out of fabric, so I used scrap fabric to cover the deck and parts of the band that are hidden.
I can't wait to start the next couch or chair. Thank you again for a great DVD!"



John says... "Fantastic results from L! Thanks so much for sending in these great photos of your project!. Keep up the great work and enthusiasm!"





These pictures of her project were sent in by G.E. from WA.
John says... "Thanks G for sharing these great results with us.!"





The above and below pictures were sent in by JS from TN.
John says... "J obtained wonderful results and is thrilled with her results. I have to agree that these slipcovers are something to be very proud of! Keep up the great work!"




  
This was sent in by D.C. in GA John says... "Wonderful job!"


  
From B.L. "Attached is a photo of my loveseat. We were very pleased with it although we should have cut the cushions a little smaller. Thanks again for your awesome dvd's. I don't think either of us would have had the courage to try it with this particular sofa (camel back and rolled arms) without your very specific directions. " John says... "Fantastic Job!"


  
From C.K. in CA



  
John says... These are examples of wonderful slipcovers.Very nice!"

From D. in California
John says... Level 1 slipcover submitted by D. This is a wonderful example of what can be achieved simply by utilizing the skills from level 1. Please note that because the cushions are all covered individually, this slipccover will maintain this "tidy" customized look.... even after ongoing use. This photo also demonstrates that using white fabric will always give you a classic look but remember that additional covers can be created using the same pattern giving you numerous options for different seasons" Thanks for sending in the photo... job well done!

  
John says... " Here is another slipcover that D. accomplished with wonderful results"!


  
From C.P. in Texas
"Just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful cd's. I can only improve with the more I watch them. I found your teaching methods to be fantastic... thorough and definetly confidence building. I thank you so much for my new room. I have already given your web site info out to several of my friends and wish you much success.. I am so glad I found you and look forward to getting additional cd's to just keep improving."
John says... "This is a wonderful example of what you can achieve with Basic Principles of Slipcovering Level 1... very nice!"

   John says... "...more terrific work from C.P. Notice the nicely relaxed fit of her covers. Not too tight and not too loose. Charlsey has been able to utilize her new skill by making custom slipcovers for many of the furniture pieces in her house. She not only saved a great deal of money (these days, NOT to be underestimated) but she gained satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment by decorating her house exactly the way she wants. How rewarding! "


  
From C. in Oklahoma
John says... "Before and after photos of C.'s first project - what a difference!

  

John says... "This is C.'s second slipcover project. She had emailed me three pictures of this chair as she was making her pattern along with a question she had. In her email, she used the words "nervous" and "frustrated" that this project would not turn out. I answered her question and told her that her pattern looked quite good and encouraged her to see the project through. The results speak for themselves.... just fantastic!!!"
C. says"Overall, I am very happy with the results. Thanks so much for all your help and advice and encouragement!


  
From M. in Kentucky
John says... "M.'s first slipcover is fabulous!


  
  
From C. in Texas
C. says..."I will tell you again how much I have enjoyed your course on DVD. As I told you in an email--- I have tried numerous times to slipcover but books and instructions just skimmed over the pattern part. They talked about blocking, etc. but--- then what? I have always been creative but this seemed beyond me until I stumbled onto your website!"
John says... "Fantastic work, C.!


  
From N.H.
N. says..."I'm so excited, I wanted to write and tell you about my second attempt at custom slipcovers. My daughter lives in Houston and needed a solution to her grandmother's sofa and loveseat. I live in Illinois with a handful of DVDs. I did a test on a piece of furniture I own and then jumped - blindly - into the project. Over spring break, I took my tape measure and a bolt of muslin to Texas and made my patterns. Throughout the summer, decisions were made on fabric, color etc.I delivered the final slipcovers last weekend. She is thrilled. They aren't perfect, but she is so pleased!
John says... "Well done, N.!

  
From C.R.

John says... "See how C. has transformed her sad, tired sofa into a fabulous 'new' piece of furniture - Great work!"

  
From B. in Wisconsin
John says... "Thank you for your kind feedback. You have made my day! "
B. says..."I ordered your cd on making a slipcover and here is the result! If I ever had any doubts that I could finish this project, your reassuring manner and careful instructions put me at ease. This was a present for my sister, we were both very happy with the results. I am starting a slipcover for one of my couches and will send you a picture when I'm done.You really are able to make this project seem easy to complete."

  
From C.J.

John says... "Look what great success C.J. had covering her loveseat. Two different looks with one pattern! Congratulations!"

From D. in GA.

  
John French says... "This is D.'s second slipcover project. On her sofa, she incorporated a tailored skirt as taught in Level 2. Congratulations on a beautiful job!"

  
John French says... "D.then took her original slipcover for the above chair and made a change to it by adding a simple tailored skirt!"

Joelene has been making beautiful slipcovers out of her home for a few years now. She ordered my video series to see if she might pick up a few new tips. She is an inspiration to anyone who is thinking of slipcovers as a 'home-based' business!
