Making a slip cover for your entertainment system

3 Replies
My style for decorating my home has been changing slowly and I have noticed that certain piece of furniture in my home are no longer matching. Since I don’t have money to go out and buy or make my very own furniture I have to get a little creative with what I have. So after much debate about moving changing or selling our entertainment system, I decided to cover it up with a slip cover. I just made a slip cover for my couch and decided to do the same thing for our entertainment system.

I have never done a slip cover for an entertainment system so it was all done on a whim, which is how most of my DIY project begin.  I measured and went through my stash of fabric to see what I had to work with when covering my TV stand. 
 

 
As you can see my TV stand is more modern in feel and my apartment is starting to look like more rustic. The first thing I found in my stash of fabric was white duck fabric. Most people would not want to work with duck fabric but I find it to be very durable and with having a three years and soon a new born, I need something that can take stains and abuse.
 

 
I measured the flat surface of the entertainment system and cut the duck fabric. So I ended up with a rectangle. 
 

 
I did not want the skirt of the TV stand to be flat, I decided to do a line of ruffles. I just folded the fabric a little over it self and sewed it all around. 
 

 
Now I have a cute little ruffle skirt for my entertainment system that can withstand everything a toddler can throw at it. I did not hem the bottom of the slip cover because I liked the raw edges of the skirt. To cover the pole of the TV stand I just pinned the fabric around the pool, that way it can be easy to remove when it needs a wash.

As you can see my entertainment system is ready for the holiday season!
