NEW WORKSHOP! Learn to Draft & Sew a Custom-Fitted Parsons Chair Slipcover!
About this Event
One Day • Saturday, November 28, 2026 • 9 AM–5 PM
Bespoke Original Skills Studio – Toronto West End
Want to learn how to make a professional, custom-fitted slipcover instead of settling for a loose, store-bought one?
Join us for a full-day, hands-on workshop where you'll learn how to draft, cut, fit and sew a tailored Parsons chair slipcover from start to finish!
What You'll Learn
- How to measure your chair properly
- How to draft a custom pattern directly from your chair
- How to plan your fabric layout and cut accurately
- How to account for seams, corners and a proper fit
- How to sew and assemble your slipcover
- How to make adjustments for a clean, professional finish
- Tips and techniques you can use on future slipcover projects
You'll leave with a custom slipcover you've made yourself and the skills to make more!
What You Need
- Basic sewing experience is required. You should already be comfortable operating a sewing machine.
- Bring your own Parsons-style dining chair.
- Your chair and fabric must be approved before class to ensure the project is suitable for the workshop.
- Bring your own approved upholstery fabric, or purchase fabric directly from the studio at wholesale cost — an exclusive Skills Studio student perk!
