Abstract

A reversible slipcover for a piece of furniture including a base, a back, first and second arms, and a seat portion. The reversible slipcover includes a back, two back ruffles sewn to be substantially parallel to one another and to respective sides of the back such that same fabric sides of the two ruffles match same respective fabric sides of the back, a center belt loop located between the two ruffles, and a reversible elastic with end tabs for securing the slipcover to the furniture. The elastic with end tabs traverses between the two back ruffles through the center belt loop and is secured to buttons attached to the slipcover at respective back corners such that the fabric of the end tabs coordinates with the visible side of the reversible slipcover fabric.

Claims

1. A reversible slipcover for a piece of furniture including a base, a back, first and second arms, and a seat portion, the reversible slipcover comprising:

a back portion having opposing fabric sides;

two back ruffles sewn to the back portion, wherein the two back ruffles are substantially parallel to one another and to respective sides of the back portion, wherein the two back ruffles are substantially overlapping and wherein a fabric side of each of the two ruffles is matched to a respective fabric side of the back portion;

a center belt loop located between the two ruffles; and

a reversible elastic with end tabs for securing the slipcover to the furniture,

wherein the elastic with end tabs traverses between the two back ruffles through the center belt loop, each end tab including an aperture for securing the end tab to either of a pair of buttons attached to opposing fabric sides at respective back corners of the slipcover such that fabric sides of the end tabs coordinate with a visible side of the reversible slipcover fabric.

2. The reversible slipcover of claim 1, wherein after the elastic with end tabs traverses between the two back ruffles through the center belt loop, the end tabs exit through respective mock buttonholes, and traverse faces of pleated areas at the respective back corners of the slipcover when secured to the buttons.

3. The reversible slipcover of claim 1, wherein seams of the slipcover are felled seams.

4. The reversible slipcover of claim 1, further comprising at least one reversible seat cushion cover having a two-sided zipper pull.

8. The combination of claim 1, further comprising at least one reversible seat cushion cover having a two-sided zipper pull.

5. A combination comprising:

a piece of furniture including a base, a back, first and second arms, and at least one seat cushion; and

a slipcover comprising;

a back portion having opposing fabric sides;

two back ruffles sewn to the back portion, wherein the two back ruffles are substantially parallel to one another and to respective sides of the back portion, wherein the two back ruffles are substantially overlapping and wherein a fabric side of each of the two ruffles is matched to a respective fabric side of the back portion;

a center belt loop located between the two ruffles; and

a reversible elastic with end tabs for securing the slipcover to the furniture,

wherein the elastic with end tabs traverses between the two back ruffles through the center belt loop, each end tab including an aperture for securing the end tab to either of a pair of buttons attached to opposing fabric sides at respective back corners of the slipcover such that fabric sides of the end tabs coordinate with a visible side of the reversible slipcover fabric.

6. The combination of claim 5, wherein after the elastic with end tabs traverses between the two back ruffles through the center belt loop, the end tabs exit through respective mock buttonholes, and traverse faces of pleated areas at the respective back corners of the slipcover when secured to the buttons.

7. The combination of claim 5, wherein seams of the slipcover are felled seams.

9. A reversible slipcover for a piece of furniture including a base, a back, first and second arms, and a seat portion, the slipcover comprising:

a back portion having opposing fabric sides;

two back ruffles sewn to the back portion, wherein the two back ruffles are substantially parallel to one another and to respective sides of the back portion, wherein the two back ruffles are substantially overlapping and wherein a fabric side of each of the two ruffles is matched to a respective fabric side of the back portion;

a center belt loop located between the two ruffles; and

a reversible elastic with end tab means for securing the slipcover to the furniture,

wherein the elastic with end tab means traverses between the two back ruffles through the center belt loop, each end tab means including an aperture for securing the end tab means to either of a pair of buttons attached to opposing fabric sides at respective back corners of the slipcover such that fabric sides of the end tab means coordinate with a visible side of the reversible slipcover fabric.
