Materials:
two complementary fabrics
white lining
Wonder Under fusible tape/webbing
iron
Note: This project is meant specifically for a flat, rectangular shaped headboard.
Steps:
- Measure the headboard. Double the measurements and add 1-1/2" all around for the seam allowance. Cut the pattern out of each of the materials.
- Insert some batting or regular lining in between the different patterns, fold the edges under and iron hems in and against the reversible fabrics with the fusible tape/webbing.
- Finish off the remainder of the hem in the same manner except for about half way up on each outside edge. Leave about 3", and insert ribbon from front and back in the 3" on the edges. Do the same on the piece that falls over the back of the headboard.
- Fuse the ribbon into place, and fuse the rest of the hem together.
- Place the slipcover over headboard, and tie the ribbons together on both ends. Flip the slipcover over and tie the ribbons together again to change the look.
