Here it is... my darling 5x8 enclosed trailer that I haul all over town. Somehow I manage not to get in too tight of spots that I can't get it turned around. I used to be pretty intimidated by trying to back it up, now it's not so bad. I can fit 6 chairs between my trailer and my car. So it saves me lots of time. I don't know what I used to do without her.
I love your trailer! I am seriously thinking about getting one. Great advertising on the side too.
ReplyDeleteI bought it used and put a remnant piece of carpet in the bottom, so I can throw fabric in there, that way I don't have to worry about it getting ruined or dirty. Then I had a client do some vinyl lettering for me for trade.
ReplyDeleteLove the truck! I'm just wondering if you have to have a special kind of sewing machine to do these slipcovers.
ReplyDeleteI do have industrial sewing machines...they make everything SOOO much faster, and they go through just about everything without knocking your tension out. I have a Juki machine and a Brothers serger. You can pick them up used for about $400-$500 off craigslist.com
ReplyDeleteBoy do I wish I lived in Utah. Not just because it's beautiful but because you are there. I want slip covers for my 4 year old Flexsteel sofa that isn't as durable as they say they are..Anyhoozzle.
ReplyDeleteI was over at PB and they have slip covers on clearance for like 120. for each sofa. Considering it isn't 1200. I am intrigued. But I wonder if I should find somebody to make them or are these ones okay? Thanks! Love what you're doing too.
Hi Shelly I have a question for you I have a potential client that would like to have an 8 piece sectional slipcovered I have not done one before and am having trouble finding a fabric estimator for it I noticed that your couch in the cabin is a sectional do you remember how much fabric you used?? I would so appreciate any info/insite you have to offer. thank you

Ps I tried to contact you via your email but it was not working :(
Cyndi--if there are back cushions as well as seat cushions you are looking at 40-45 yds. If there aren't I'd say 30-35 yds. I'd probably have them get an extra 5 yds to be safe...because 8 seat cushions is a lot of fabric.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your help Shelley!! your so sweet.
