• Webinar: Classic Linen Slipcovers

  • When
    October 10, 2023
  •  
    1:00 PM (EDT)

  Custom linen slipcovers are more popular than ever. Each month, you can find multiple examples of expertly-crafted slipcover designs in bleached-white, natural, or colorfully printed linen gracing the pages of the most popular shelter magazines. Learn about how this natural fiber is processed for textiles and the long history of its use for slipcovers to protect upholstered furniture. You will be inspired to create classic details (like micro-cord, scalloped edges, ties, button closures, and short pleated ruffles) and learn techniques to minimize the challenges and highlight the beauty of linen fabric.

  Jeanelle Dech is president and co-founder of Adaptive Textiles, an innovative textile printing company in West Chester, PA. She is a friendly and engaging speaker, known for her entrepreneurial spirit, love of natural linen fabric, Fit-Like-a-Glove slipcovers, and workroom profitability training. In 2015 she launched The Workroom Marketplace (www.WorkroomMarketplace.com) and The Workroom Channel (www.TheWorkroomChannel.com), which hosts a series of online training programs for sewing professionals.  She is the creative energy behind The Workroom Channel’s METHOD SHARE series, REAL WORKROOM TOURS, the FLY ON THE WALL series, and countless other collaborative efforts serving the Custom Workroom Industry.
