Slipcovers With Shelley Giveaway!
Nov 9, 2012
So excited to share this giveaway with you today, because it's something I've always wanted to have. No, not unicorn wings, today I'm giving away the ability to make slipcovers!
Shelley, the self-taught guru of slipcovers has kindly offered to give away a copy of her "Slipcovers With Shelley" DVD, (a $45 value) which is absolutely loaded with expert advice on everything you need to know to make beautiful slipcovers of your own, even if you are a novice sewer. Seamstress. Whatever.
Shelley knows her stuff. She's been able to quit her job and make slipcovers full-time to help support her family, and she's so busy, she's backed up until after the new year.
You can check out more examples of Shelley's work on her blog, and start getting inspired by all the possibilities that await you and your soon-to-be-discovered slipcovering skillz!
But wait, there's more! Shelley is also giving away a copy of her fabulous e-book Pillow Talk, a colorful and easy-to-follow guide for creating five different types of decorative pillows.
Her step-by-step instructions make them all seem positively easy, like, I'm never not using a zipper again. I might even venture into making my own piping. Did you hear that? PIPING!
Want to enter to win? Of course you do. Entering is easy, simply leave a comment here!
Can't wait? You can always hop on over to her website to purchase either the
or Pillow Talk e-book now!
Good luck friend, I hope you win! Giveaway ends Tuesday, November 13th, and is open to everyone internationally as well! Woo!

I would love this! I have a super comfy, but ugly couch that could use a facelift!
I can't wait to cover up our ugly plaid couch. This would be a great prize!
This would come in so handy! I need to "freshen" up some furniture!
This would be great. I've slip covered once before, but, actual instructions would have been nice! Hope I win!
Heather , Halvis at tds.net
I so need this book! I am WAY tired of my couch and chairs in my living room but don't have the moolah for new ones. Nor do I have any reason for replacing them completely. This is the alternative that I need but I don't even know where to begin!
My three boys make this dvd a "must have"! They're killing me with their grubby hands :)
This is awesome :)
I hope I win, I have a plaid couch that is in need of a cover!
Oh, this would complete my dream of owning 100% linen slipcovered furniture that I could have with my very tiny budget. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity of learning how to do this!
This would be awesome! My couch is a weird blue, yuck!
This would be amazing! I have a wonderful slipper chair with velvet green fabric that I have been intending to cover for YEARS! This just might be the motivation I need!!
I need slipcovers for my couch. Hope I win.
What a great giveaway... would love to have one to spruce up the sofa or love seat.... or just for a quick change. Pick me!
Slip covers would be a-mazing!! Bring it on!
I couldn't get it to leave a comment, or maybe I didn't know what I was doing, anyway hope this one counts. Would love to be able to make slipcovers (if I can afford the material) to cover my nearly 20 year old couch and chair and ottoman. It was a very good set back then, too good to just get rid of, but it sure needs and update. Navy blue and barn red are pretty tiresome after so long. Thanks!
Pick me! Pick me! I have a floral chair that I'm dying to cover in a nice, cool gray.
Pick me!
Great giveaway! Those slipcovers are amazing. I'd rather make my own, than rely on Surefit. :)
You make me laugh everyday! Thanks for sharing your sense of humor! (And this book looks pretty cool to.)
I just came here to ask if you meant pegasus wings. I've never seen a unicorn with wings. Wink, wink. ;)
I suck at crafting but I'd love to have the winner make me a slipcover! Ha ha.
Great giveaway! I'd love to be able to make my own slipcovers.
Would love to be able to recover my grandmother's dining chairs without having to spend lots to send them out. Thanks.
lol, unicorn wings, you so funny. :)
Love! Pick ME!!
so awesome! would love to try it!
so awesome! would love to try it!
I would love to learn how to slipcover furniture. I see so many pieces second hand that I don't buy because they need to be slip covered and it is so expensive. I could have all new things if I could do it myself!
would love this!
Learning to slipcover is on my list of things to do ....this DVD would help me soooomich. Thanks for the chance to win! I love the pillows too!
This would be so nice to have. The couple we bought our house from this summer kindly left us a sofa and two chairs, but the fabrics aren't quite our style. I would love to make them over without breaking the bank ,but have been intimidated to start.
Oh,how I need this! I have always wanted to sew slipcovers, but have never had the nerve. Maybe I can finally do something about my horribly ugly, but very comfortable, furniture.
I would love to have this. I have watched Shelly's website for years.
Me! I'm the epitome of novice...
I can't beleive this post! i just finished posting several slipcovers to my pinterest boards. what i wouldn't give to be able to pick my own fabric and make the perfect slipcovers for both my Living room and family room!

This would be perfect! I have a horrid couch that is in desperate need to be covered.
It would be amazing to win this! I would definitely have to get busy if I won!
I would love to get this!! I have a wing chair to slipcover and I have no idea how to do it!!
I would LOVE something like this... I have so many pieces of furniture that could use a new vibe.
I'd love to try slipcovers! Stephanie
Of course! Who could NOT love this??? Great slipcovers!
Pondering scouting a sectional on craigslist with plans to slipcover it. Perfect timing!
I can sew a bit - but I would need the help of Shelly's professional dvd to guide me through it!
Seria ótimo para eu poder reformar e encapar meus sofás e poltronas.E almofadas??Obrigada.

I got a sewing Machine for Christmas last year and it is still in the box because I have no idea what I am doing! I also have an ugly couch. I really need to win this giveaway!
Thanks!
Erika
This would be amazing! We moved this summer and bought a used sofa and love seat set (for $145! total) that are super comfortable and in good shape...they are just UGLY! I haven't been able to find pre-made slipcovers that I absolutely adore so it would be awesome if I could figure out how to make some!
ooh, nice giveaway! :: crosses fingers:::
This has always been intriguing to me but I'm skeeerd! I'd love to win and give it a try!
I'm about to attempt my first slip cover - but I was going to wing it. Maybe I should read a book first....
It would be great to learn. I am truly a novice at sewing so the more help the better.
Would love to win this! (I follow Shelley too - girl is a genius!)
Me, me, me! I'd L-O-V-E to win@ Thanks for the opportunity. (aqmccray[at]verizon[dot]net)
Maybe it would give me courage to finally slip cover something!
Maybe it would give me courage to finally slip cover something!
I am a novice and would love to learn how to sew pillows and eventually slipcovers to save money!
Shelley is SO talented! I would LOVE to have her DVD! Thanks so much for a great giveaway!
Debbie
Would love the DVD.
Yes, please! We have a comfortable and well-made sofa that's embarrassingly cat scratched. I would LOVE Shelley's instructions on how to slipcover it. Her work, which I see on other blogs, is meticulous.
I love pillows!!
I've been wanting to slipcover my sofa for over a year but I'm to sceeered! Maybe if I win her book I'll over come my fears!
This would be a great prize to win, hope it is ME!!!
You mean I could achieve having furniture that a)fits into my decorating scheme without limiting me so that I don't have to decorate around the sofa and b) doesn't stick out like a sore thumb? Sign me up!
Yes please! I would love some professional guidance in slip covering.
This would be awesome! I really want to learn more about upholstering!
Oh I have the perfect chair that could use a new cover! :)
I would love to win! What can I say, 4 kids and 2 dogs. One husband who thinks black labs should be able to sleep on the furniture.
I really need this video - I have tried (and blogged) about slipcovering my two wing chairs and have NOT been successful. Thanks for a chance to enter!
Peggy @ The Painted Pear
I so need one of these. I seriously have the ugliest couch ever!
Omg my couch is SO 90's I can't sell it on CraigsList. I need a slipcover! Shelley's are amazing!
I want to learn how to do piping! I made a slipcover for my sofa, but it would look so much better if I had "piped" the edges! I should probably learn how to phrase that right, too. :)
I so need this! Pick me pick me! meaganr30@gmail.com
Oh this would be a dream to have. I have been wanting to make some pillows lately so this was interesting to find! Pick meeeee!
Oh this would be a dream to have. I have been wanting to make some pillows lately so this was interesting to find! Pick meeeee!
I neeeeeed this video/book. And I'll tell you why...one of my couches is half slip-covered and the other is still red, gold and hunter green plaid while its slipcover remains wadded up in a bag because I need to rip out one of the seams and re sew it. Baaah! I'm stuck!
I have two sofas that are in desperate need of help! kim1coe@yahoo.com
oh this would be just in time. i just re upholstered my chair myself. and i used plain canvas because i plan on making all kinds of slip covers for it so i can change it whenever i change my decor.
Me! Me! Pick me!
Would love this! I'm a novice sewer so instructions on DVD would be awesome!
I have a chair in my bedroom that I keep saying I'm going to make a slipcover for... but I feel intimidated. I need this!
OMG..this is what i'm looking for, i'm moving to new house..need to save every teeny tiny bit,but if i be able to DIY my old ugly sofa cover would be super great!!!!
What a lovely giveaway! Me what's! ;)
LIndsey,
I love your blog - it's inspiring, interesting and funny as hell.
Thanks for the opportunity to win such a cool prize!

I would love a copy. What a great opportunity to offer! Thanks so much.
Pick me! I love her work.
LOVE Shelley's work soooo much!! :)
I loove the idea of slipcovering but with my novice sewing skills it always seems so intimidating!
Getting ready to paint the living room, with this book I could do a total before/after on this tired old room!!!
I would love to have it. Wonderful.
I have been wanting to try to make slipcovers since forever!
Oh, oh, oh this would be SO great!
There's so much I need to learn about sewing!!!
I'd love to enter for the pillow dvd. I have her slipcover dvd and its truly amazing!! Thanks for the giveaway.
I would love to enter! Have been planning to slipcover an ugly chair for ages!
This would be perfect as I have 5 chairs awaiting makeowvers!
Her covers look great and I have a couch and a chair that could use it with my 21 month daughter :) way easier than reupholstering since it can be washed!
That looks great! Last time I wanted to upholster a chair it sat in my house unchanged for several years before I gave it away. Maybe if I had some good instructions, I'd actually get a few projects done!!!
This is great!
I have been following her blog too and I'm amazed at what she's accomplished! Hope I win, because I got a sofa that needs some love!!
I need a slipcover for my couch!
More ways to use my sewing machine? Check please!
I have always wanted to learn to make slipcovers! My grandmother used to make all of hers but I never had the chance to learn from her.
I would love the pillow book. It might be all I can handle!
I love your blog site! Thanks for all your inspirational photos. I plan on beautifying our ugly duckling furniture pieces along with a few roadside rescue pieces within this next year, and a new slipcover outfit on our old sofa set may just do the trick.
Pick me, pick me!

That is awesome. And I'm so bummed. I just got rid of a chair because it was worn and I couldn't find a slip cover for it. If it really is possible for a beginner, I think I'll hang on to my other chairs just in case.
would love to win this :)
OMG!!! I have followed Shelley for some time now and I currently have 2 chairs, 1 love seat and an ottoman that need slipcovers....would love to to be able to watch Shelley's video while creating my slipcovers.
Heather
Fabulous giveaway!!! Shelley's video would certainly help me get all of my slipcover projects done, finally....
Thx so much, Heather @ Larissa Hill Designs
Pleeeeeeeease pick me! I don't think I have ever won anything in my whole life. My living room couches are an embarassement. I know how to sew already and with great instructions in this book I could really work some magic!
I would love to have this! I have been wanting to make a few slipcovers for a while! I might have to order the CD if I don't win. Thanks!
Desperately need the slipcover DVD to save our old couches! I wish she was local to me!
I'm in dire need of this DVD! My adorable lab had a not so adorable chewing habit as a puppy and chewed through the upholstery of my most cozy chair! I'm armed with my mother's sewing machine and fabric! Now I just need a video to teach me how!!
I would love to win this! So fun!
Would love to try slipcovering.
momscount@yahoo.com
I want to win! So many home improvements, so little knowledge.
My chair could definitely use this!
In need of family room furniture, we accepted my grandparents' furniture. We.Need.Slipcovers.
Erin
Fun giveaway. Her slipcovers are beautiful.

I need these skills!!
shelbymaui(at)hotmail(dot)com
Great giveaway! I have a love seat and chair that are starting to look a little tired... this would give me inspiration!
I hate my sofa - it was white before I had a kid... I'd love to win this prize and give my sofa a second life.
I used her DVD to make slip covers for my super ugly, super 1998 plaid loveseat, couch and chair. I would love the pillow DVD!!
I would "sew" love to win this fantastic giveaway! I have a couch and two chairs that ate so in need of a facelift! Left alone two more chairs of my grandmothers...a long list! Both my grandmother and mother made their own slipcover a but aren't able to help me anymore. Love this!
Geesh, please ignore the typos!
I could use this as I have a chair needing a slipcover. Oh and a couch!
With a colored sofa I detest, I really would like to make a slipcover to hide the hideous green.
I would so love to win either, but mostly the slipcover DVD. I have two great wingback chairs, but the fabric is not only outdated but so dirty. So need to redo them. This would make me actually do it. After painting my kitchen cabinets of course. :-}
Our hand-me-down couch is covered with a stained, ripped store bought slipcover. Time for a new one, but I'd love to make it myself this time. Maybe with a dropcloth, a ruffle, or a more tailored box pleat....hmmm, endless possibilities.
I would love to win this! I have so many pieces that could really use a slipcover!
What a great giveaway! I could use some expert advice since my "homemade" items look a little scary up close. I don't know how to do anything other than the basics, so it would be nice to learn.
BTW, your blog leaves me in stitches every day! (get it, stitches?) I know, dumb comment.
Oh I need this book SO badly! I've been looking at slipcovers foreverrrr in the store or ordering online. But I know they'll be too baggy for my old-style slim armed couch.
So having this DVD would help me get enough gumption to finally sew my own!
I reeeeeally need this! Then no more hacked, fall-aparty slipcovers in this household.
I just got 2 wingback chairs for $30 bucks total. Such a sweet find, but desperately need slipcovers!! Pick me!!

I have a chair that I would love to make a slipcover for. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Unicorns don't have wings, which can only lead me to assume that you are talking about wings MADE of unicorn. Which is just sick, really. But, whatever fantasy floats your boat... My fantasy is to make a slipcover for a couple of hideously free pieces of furniture in my home. I would LOOOOOOOVE this giveaway!!!!
